rcdinaz Report post Posted December 5, 2011 Okay I need some ideas on pre-made camp meals. I got chili and green chili, sounds the same but two very different things on goes with cornbread the other with tortillas. I saw some post by chef but whet else do you guys take that everyone is just dying to get back to camp to eat or that you could throw in a pack for an overnighter out in the field. Thanks! If there is a thread on this already please point me int the right direction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

123456 Report post Posted December 5, 2011 My all time fav. is spaghetti. I HAve my wife make some meat sauce and then vaccuum seal it. I either make the noodles prior and seal them as well or If it is not a pain cook them in the field I do that. Then all you do is warm up the 2 bags and wa- lah Dinner is served. The carbs help for the long hikes of the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BASS Report post Posted December 5, 2011 stew. We usually would put a coleman stove on really low and fill a large menduo pot (another GREAT choice)with meat, potatoes onion etc in there and let it simmer all day coming back around mid day to check it and add water. By the time its dark you can smell it from the road and is amazing! I am a huge soup guy and love it all the time, steak isn't good to me anymore (five days a week for years has soured me on it). When we hunted 32 at Mercer Ranch we'd run into town and buy a bunch of burros from the mexican food place on the corner by circle K. Eat one for dinner there and the rest went into the packs for the next day! We even did that this year on the elk hunt, bean and cheese burros from taco bell were awesome at sun up! For pack meals on pig hunts I do PB&J burros. Heat the tortilla a little to make it rollable, put peanut butter all over it then jelly over that. It keeps it from going soggy and pretty much can't get smashed like bread! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pine Donkey Report post Posted December 5, 2011 When I shread up the meat for green chili, I often save some aside and do a shreaded meat barbeque sandwich meat. It heats quick and can be eaten on a bun, sliced bread, or tortilla. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COUESAZ Report post Posted December 5, 2011 We slow cook boneless chiken in the crock smothered in salsa. Then we shred the chiken and freeze it for chiken burritos and tacos. Then we just toss it in the pot on the stove and thaw it out for dinner. Slap it on taco shells or tortillas and you are done. We also do the green chilli with pork and chiken for green chilli burittos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigorange Report post Posted December 5, 2011 Lately I've been eating big pots of tag soup. Nobody else in camp seems to want any of it though! Seriously though, I like anything that's pre-made from home and all you have to do is heat it up in camp. I enjoy cooking in camp, especially cast iron dutch oven cooking...but after a long day hunting I'd much rather heat something up pretty quick and easy. I have a couple of favorites...a beans, corn, tomatoes, and rice dish my wife makes that does well in a ziploc until time to heat it up. The other is chili made at home and ziploc'd. Serve over fritos or tortilla chips. I also like beef/venison and green chile burritos made at home and frozen. Throw one in the pack and it's usually thawed in time for lunch or snack.

rcdinaz Report post Posted December 5, 2011 Amanda thanks for the thread! I will be adding these to the next menu: Shredded B-B-Q Spaghetti Stew Along with Chili I hvae done the PB&J tortillas as well, works well. I also think I need to buy a smoker, seems smoked meat is a great thing to have for camp. I am also getting tired of cooking ducks the same way all the time. Using vacuum bags and having everything pre-made or at least pre-cut is a great idea from the other thread! Lark I won't be fighting you for the Spam or pork rinds at the store, ALL yours bud!

twigsnapper Report post Posted December 5, 2011 Instant Oat meal, not home cookin but it is super easy and sticks to your ribs. I bought some that came pre-packaged with a little bowl(like $1.50 each too) for our youth deer hunt two weeks ago and it was a hit. Just boil water when making some coffee in the am and bam! Warm breakfast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The carbs help for the long hikes of the day. Vacuum sealing is a great way to go. For the fall hunt we camped for 4 nights and had the majority of our meals this way. A single large pot, with a fire or a stove and water was all we needed. We froze all the packets so they were still ice cold the last night, and this also kept the sodas cold. We had the following: Chicken and noodles, parmesan sauce with bacon Beef potato stew Spaghetti Sloppy Joes Eggs,cheese and bacon Eggs and sausage Potatoe chunk soup Clam chowder Mac and cheese with ground beef Shredded chicken with green chilli Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
