Favorite meals in camp??

[TroutGuide]

I make deer stroganoff, deer shank meat slow cooked or in the pressure cooker(best), onions and mushrooms sautéed till tinder, all at home. Mix together in camp and heat back up. Mix in sour cream, season with salt and pepper. Serve over wide egg noodles partially cooked at home and dunked in boiling water to finish cooking in camp. Saves a lot if work in camp and is amazing on a cold evening.  Otherwise make a lot of chilli at home and reheat at camp. Them you start eating off the land!!

Dang, you guys eat good! I usually just fry up some spam for sandwiches! LOL. Of course, with a few exceptions, I'm culinarily challenged....     But, I love to eat (hence the screen name), so I usually try to surround myself with good cooks.

First night in camp is always ribeyes or pork steaks and some baked beans with buttered bread. It's a meal my Grampa always made. For lunch it's hard to beat BLT's and chips with local thick cut bacon...mmmm, come on October!

Smothered squirrels in gravy over smashed taters, cat head biscuits with fig preserves, wash it down with sweet tea.

Or a bag of Fritos, a Baby Ruth and a Big Red Soda Pop

First night is always beef and pork chili with fresh corn tortillas.  Then we have baked salmon with a crab and shrimp crust, stuffed pork loin, marinated grilled skirt steak, grilled lemon chicken, seafood pasta, smothered sausage and shrimp over mashed potatoes.  A ton of roasted veggies, rice pilaf, roasted potatoes, etc... as sides as well.  We always grill up a bunch of sausages as well, those are used for a big breakfast frittata with whatever leftover potatoes and veggies are around from the night before.

S. Brant Osborn now that's my kind of cooking! Hard to beat squirrels and them cat head biscuits and not to mention figs

After the first day, I like to eat venison loins and roasts.    Yeah, sure.  If I'm camping off my truck tail gait at the end of a spur somewhere, I do pack a small grill for when I or my partner do connect.  Otherwise, we eat some freeze dried stuff.  Also a fair amount of spaghetti, chou mein, Dinty Moore beef stew. Maybe a fresh burger or hot dogs the first few days in camp while we still have ice, but after that, it's dried and canned foods.  Usually granola bars for breakfast, gorp and jerky for lunch.  Of course, if we pack in to set up a spike camp, it's all dry and freeze dried foods.  Anything tastes good when you're camping and hunting in the boonies.

Hard to beat cooked food when applicable. Mountain House is a good supplement for what you described. Sometimes on fly in hunts these type are a must for weight concerns. Taste is good, close to very good! Easy to prepare after a long day hunting, especially when you don't want to prepare a big meal. Not much smell, helps with bear concerns too. Lots of variety. No big mess, not much trash. Sounds like the perfect backcountry food. Bags can double for storage if cleaned.

I always love that one morning when you wake up and it's raining.  Anymore we sleep in then get up and make a huge breakfast with bacon, eggs    biscuits and gravy.  Couple pots of coffee to wash it all down.  Sit on the porch and listen to it rain.

Something I call the Piney River Special- eggs, sausage and potatoes all mixed and cooked together. One big blob of good food!

Whatever name you give it, the correct name is GOOD!

I like grouse breast thinly sliced, fried with onions and sliced canned potatoes.

Chili for me

[Zradix]

Can of baked beans, can of chili beans, can of corn, chopped onion, ground meat.

Brown the meat.
Add the onion..cook it a little.
Add the cans.
Eat when warm enough.
Season to taste.
Goes good with bread.

Simple and high octane.

I personally like Bush's "black bean fiesta"  baked beans with this.

SPAM SPAM and More SPAM

[Zradix]

lol...Just tried spam on the grill last month.
It was like eating the seasoned fatty area of a pork roast.
Very rich...but good for a few bites.

[S. Brant Osborn]

Yeah boy, Caleb!
I know you Mississippi boys know about cat heads and figs!  Shoot,  that's the main dish.  Squirrels and taters and gravy are side dishes for filler!

[Cmane07]

Ain't it the truth! My grandmother cooks fresh figs in bacon grease in a cast iron skillet to go on biscuits... If you put em on your head, your tongue would beat your brains out tryin to get em!
