Here is mine"
Dice up some potatoes and fry them in a pan with butter or bacon grease.
Cook the spuds all the way.
Then add two or three Johnsonville brats.
Take them out of the skins and mash them up and cook them all the way (next to or with the spuds).
Then add eggs to it all.
Then cook till eggs are done. Won't take long at this point.
Season with salt and pepper. Very good!

In a hurry? Great for backpack trips, especially when you have just set up in the rain, cold, snow...need hot calories fast?
I put 20-22 oz of water on to boil, throw in two (or one) packets of chicken or tuna (the foil packets pack better, canned is OK for car camps) or dice up some hard salami. Throw it in and let it boil a few minutes with whatever seasoning you like. Lemon Pepper, Garlic salt..sometime I just go heavy on the pepper, lite on the salt. Then pour in a packet of Idahoan instant mashed potatoes, all are prespiced. Stir in, take off heat, stir till it thickens. Top with Bacos, Parmesan cheese, seeds, nuts whatever. It'll heat you up enough to dry yer clothes from the inside...

Field dress the Grouse within minutes of kill. (cut the head off at the base of the neck, flip'm on their back, spread the wings and stand on the wings close to the body. Pull on the feet until you've got breasts, thy's and legs in your hand. Bird shall be skinned and gutted at this point.) Stuff in a ziploc and keep 'warm' on the hike back to camp.
Debone the bird. Cut all meat into dime and nickel sized chunks and lightly brown in red wine and butter adding a little salt/pepper to taste.
Mix and cook a box of Fetucini Alfredo (we buy the Safeway brand).
Drain the meat off and mix the meat with the pasta as the Alfredo sauce cooks down.
Serve four full plates of this with an ice cold Beer of choice, or this also goes well with a little JD and Coke, and some Garlic bread pulled fresh from the oven.
There is a huge difference between 'fresh killed/cooked' birds and those that get refridgerated/frozen first. You could do this with any upland game bird. For Quail, I'd probably switch to a c*censored*ay.

Our favorite foods always turn out to be the breakfasts. Best memories, wake early before the rest of my family, cook outside over my stove, stow foods in my oven as necessary and serve all hot around the renewed fire.... awesome memories...
:yeah:
Another unforgettable meal. Arctic Grayling. Caught in a little pool in Springcreek. South side of the Brooks, 2 drainages West of Arctic Village. Cut the dorsal fin off, mostly. No easy task, like cutting Rebar.
Cut into sections about 3in long. Put the pot on with about 1.5in of water and 2 golf ball size chunks of clarified butter, maybe more. A tablespoon+ of Lowery's lemon pepper. Put the fish in on end. Crank up the heat once it came to a boil let it go for 3-5minutes. Or two-three 360's with the binos looking for uninvited company :chuckle:
Best fish I ever had. Wish I had taken note on exactly how long I cooked it.

Tin foil, slice up taters, onions and mushrooms. Lay two strips of bacon toss on some taters onions, mushrooms also can add zuccini if you like. Put on some johnny's and then lay two strips of bacon on top. Cook both sides in the fire for about 8-10 min. Open up after cooking second side and pile on some shredded cheese let melt.
We call them spudloafs.
Tasty!

Here's am oldie my Dad taught me in 1974 when we went to Canada and caught walleyes and made shore lunches. Love walleye dipped in corn meal and fried with fried onions and potatoes.
Remeber fishing trips in Ontario and Manitoba when my brothers and I getting up in the morning and coming out of the tent and my Dad frying Bannock bread. Will never forget the smell as long as I live
Very simple but gooooood
Bannock bread:
Bannock
1 cup white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder (always use good baking powder)
1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix ingredients in a zip lock before camping. When ready to make add water , a little oil or melted butter, form a stiff dough. Make patties and fry in butter, bacon grease, oil. Serve with fruit jam

Truck camping; Use your big late morning breakfast or your lunch fire. Take three or four grouse, rabbits, or if it's not season yet, bring two chickens. Cut them up and brown them in a Dutch Oven over your fire, (before it gets quite down to the coals stage). Cut up and add a bunch of onions, spuds, carrots or whatever you happen to have. Depending on how big your Dutch Oven is, and how much stuff you have in it, add a cup or two of water, (or beer if you are short on water) and a whole 16 to 18 oz. bottle of bbq sauce. By now you should have a good bed of coals in your fire. Put your Dutch Oven down deep in the coals so the coals go up the sides, and cover the top with coals. Now cover the whole thing with dirt, sand, whatever. Go for a three or four hour hike, (or a short evening hunt), dinner will be ready when you get back.
Backpack camping; Take your ultra light pop-can alcohol stove and boil up some water and cook some top ramen. I only use half of the seasoning packet, and add some lemon pepper. Add one of those packets of tuna. Bon apetit!

1 slab of meat size depending how many you are feeding
marinade
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup olive oil
1 TB lemon juice
2-3 cloves garlic minced
1 TB italian seasoning
(simple but extremely tasty)
Marinate several hrs or overnight
Grill over open coals using a fish or BBQ basket if you don't have a fire grate
I had it last night on the BBQ. Awsome. I like it medium rare.

tinfoil over the end of a stick (or 1" dowel if you're fancy)
roll canned biscuit over the tinfoil like a condom (this part can be pretty funny depending on amount of alcohol consumed)
cook over open fire
remove from foil and fill with butter and jam

Since the meals are covered already, how about dessert.
Reese's Peanut Butter cup Smores. Slide the PB cup and marshmallow onto a two pronged metal skewer with the marshmallow on the end. Keep rotating it so it doesn't melt the PB cup off. When the marshmallow is nice and brown, slide it all in between a couple of graham crackers.
If you don't have type 2 diabetes yet, you will after eating these.

at home before leaving i make a meatloaf all in a 1 gal ziploc bag and mix so not to have a mess
also take some uncut potatos
mix up some corn bread also in a bag
take stuff for a dump cake
when you get to camp and want to cook break out the dutch ovens and get the coals ready.
the meatloaf is in loaf form cut the bottem of the bag and drop it in,cut the spuds into wedges and line around the loaf
cut the corner of cornbread bag and squeeze in onother dutch oven
layer in dump cake ing.and enjoy with out any mess to deal with
Post by: ICEMAN on February 23, 2010, 07:17:23 PM
Toyman, in all seriousness, sounds like an easy recipe.... I never feel like I have enough time though to break out the dutch oven, especially during the hunt... May have to try that while camping this summer...
Post by: ribka on February 23, 2010, 07:32:44 PM
Have to try the "dump cake" too
Post by: toyman2 on February 23, 2010, 08:12:28 PM
for a large batch like 4 or more people.
2 cans apple pie filling on bottem,sprinkle a box(or less if you want)of white cake on top and a 12oz can of 7up or sprite.
for this one a smaller version--- 1 can pie filler 1 box jiffy white cake and almost a can of 7up or u can lay pats of butter around
2 cans cherry pie filler,1 box chocolate cake and a can of cherry coke or pepsi
i really like to see how good i can eat for very cheap,i use to wheel alot and when gas went way high my budget for food got way small,so i have spent some years learning to do this. simple,easy,cheap and not much clean up.
just cause you cook in a dutch oven doesnt mean you have to use charcol,i take only the ovens because i can cook anything in them and i can use them on anything-fire,charcol,propane and whatever else there is

Take your ribs and rub them down in garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, johnnys seasoning salt, sweet mesquite seasoning, and a pinch of brown sugar. Vacuum Seal the ribs so they fit nice in the cooler and the flavors get pressed in. Take them out of the bag at camp and grill them up over low heat.

Damnit... I carry a stove in my day pack for the long cold days. I really like to heat up some soup for lunch and another for a late day snack before I get back to camp for dinner.
I remember a time that I took a nephew out for his 'first hunt with me'.. His dad was pretty much a road hunter then... Anyway, I hiked his arse off in the morning. Hike sit, Hike sit... The kid was exhausted by 11:00. We find a good spot that's totally hidden to sit and watch where a few trails intersect. I break out the stove and heat up some Cup O Noodles for him. We were about 40 yards apart watching two different draws. I crawled over to him as he's munching on an energy bar and hand him the soup and a spork. His eyes got as big as silver dollars!
Well... Nothing extravagant.. But that warm soup hits the spot on a cold day out in the middle of nowhere!
EDIT: He shot his first buck that day too!

My daughter always insists that on one night we have sauerkraut. I empty the big jar of Farman's into a gallon zip-lock bag to make it easier to pack. Cut up an onion and cut up the sausage. Gently brown both, then add the sauerkraut and a can of beer. Simmer covered for 30 minutes, then uncover and simmer until the consistency is the way you want it. Serve with more beer. Man, them's good eats!

Hobo Stew as we call it, used to have it a lot when I was younger, had it for the first time in probably fifteen or twenty years just a month ago. Large hamburger patti pressed onto a sheet of tin foil and seasoned, surrouned by large potatoe wedges, and topped with your mix of veggies, seasoned, and set over the fire or in the coals. If you like the veggies more tender, boil them shortly first.

I have a similar recipe, but substitute Crown for the Seagrams 7 and don't mess it up with the 7 up. :chuckle:
Used to add the 7 but gave up on it some time ago. Seems the tough mornings left when the 7 did for me.
Favorite meal is breakfast eggs and taters with Glondo's bacon, cured in CleElum by Charlie Glondo himself. Throw a bit of his jerky in the pack for my hikes too.

The albumin residue from the egg whites coagulates the grounds and makes them settle. There are other field methods also but the whole reason is that there is no filter used.

When the old guys in our deer camp in WI made the cowboy coffee, they would throw in a cup of ice water at the end and all the grounds would settle to the bottom. Well, most of them anyway. Damned fine coffee.after boiling the coffee beat an egg get the coffee swiling and drop it in.put one cup of cold water in then heat it up,all you grounds stay at the bottom and there is a great cup o joe,zero bitterness

2 large sweet onions, cut up
2 of the large cans of spaghetti O's, plain
1 can of red kidney beans
1 can of white or pinto beans
or a can of vandcamps pork and beans
1 can of green beans
1 can of corn
Brown the meat and onions, add the rest and let it simmer for a bit, serve with bread of your choice.
Add cut up sausage or hotdogs if you wish.
