If your using Mountain house Meals for mountain hunting, bring along some "Cous Cous" the small little dried up Greek Pasta. Add it to your mountain house dinners it it makes a great filler.

 Another good filler for breakfast provided your not on the move is cans of new potatoes for your eggs for breakfast. Scramble up a dozen eggs with new potatoes and shredded cheddar cheese. makes a great breakfast dish!

Biggie, I'd hate to know where he gets the noodles out of a deer for spaghetti.  Just doesn't seem right  :bigsmyl:

I like wrapping food in aluminum foil and cooking it in the coals. Easy to do and very little clean up afterwards.

Onion, mushroom, potato, carrots, broccoli, butter and seasoning

Chicken can be done this way also.

Now Tom You know Ben doesn't like Chicken.

If truck camping with a large group. Best if You have a couple of skillets.

1 lb. bacon
1 lb sausage
3 lbs potatoes
1 large onion
1 dz. eggs
8 oz. or 8-10 slices of Your favorite cheese

Fry potatoes and onion together in 1 skillet
fry bacon and drain and crumble
fry sausage and drain
add everything above together
add eggs over mixture cover if possible
when eggs are almost done add cheese cover
until melted and eggs are set.
Great with Home-made salsa over the top.

We just got back from Comptons and our meals that we cooked were Pheasant, Venison steaks and Deep fried Northern Pike. That being said, when camping with my son when he was young, it really did not matter. We cooked, ate , camped and fished together what we ate was really secondary  because it was the time we shared that will never be lost. Enjoy yourselves!  :campfire:

I agree with Friend!

Beans, eggs and meat!

I like to brown some ground meat. drain it if needed. Then add some canned baked beans, some chili beans and a can of corn in. Salt and pepper to taste. Great with  bread and butter.
One pan meal. Sweet and savory with the chili beans.

Zradix, I do something very similar, I add a big onion when browning the meat.

Another good one is 1/2 big onion per person, two yellow potatoes per person, and two Ball Park BEEF hotdogs per person. 1/2 tablespoon of liquid smoke per five people, salt, pepper, and a big pat of REAL butter.

Combine butter, liquid smoke, salt (easy on the salt), pepper, and add all the chopped onions you need per person. Mix the onions with the melted butter. (we like the onions coarsely chopped) Put in iron skillet large enough to hold all the ingredients, and get the pan just hot enough to begin cooking the onions.
Dice the potatoes, and slice the hotdogs, and then add them to the skillet.

Increase the heat a bit while you turn the ingredients with a spatula to get the entire contents mixed well. After about five minutes add a little water. When the water steams off, the potatoes are usually done.

Regardless of how much you cook, there will be no leftovers.

Bretto, that is pretty much the same receipe I looked forward to the most when I was a kid. When me, dad and my uncles would go to the lake to set some trot lines and camp, we would always cook this up. Dad called it campfire surprise, sometimes the ingrediets would vary a bit. Always good though. In fact, its almost lunch time..............

we go to the grocery store and get a whole beef tenderloin (back strap) & have filet mignon all weekend!  It aint that bad when you split the price up. Not much waste if any at all either. All meat! Now I wanna go to camp.

Van: I used to camp and hunt by myself a lot and many's a night my dinner when I got out of the tree stand was vi-annies, crackers and a cold one. I always had sharp cheddar to go along with it.

Thanks for reminding me  :)
