Camp meals

[PRDATR]

Breakfast can be;

1. Nothing.

2. Cup of instant oatmeal and some instant coffee.

3. A Banana. Maybe a Naked Juice like Green Machine or a Chocolate Protein Drink. I never cook breakfast when hunting except "maybe" the day before or the day after and I never come back to camp until the end of the day.

 

Deener OTOH,

1. Boneless chicken breast cut up and put in tin foil with potatoes, onions and chili peppers. One the grill for 30 minutes or so.

2. Lamb chops, marinate a few days before in a zip lock freezer bag with a TBL spoon of balsamic vinegar, cup of red wine or coffee, either fresh basil or rosemary, a few lemon wedges and crushed and chopped garlic cloves. Best to marinate for 3-4 days then freeze.

3. Salmon, either Coho or Copper River is preferred (never Atlantic or Farmed), pull or fillet off the skin and brown flesh, and put into freezer bags and freeze, cooks up in 20 minutes or so. I put it on tin foil with olive oil then on the grill with chopped/minced garlic with maybe some tyme.

4. Food City Carne Asade, already marinated.

5. Pre-Seasoned chicken quarters.

6. Von Hansens Brats with Sauer Kraut.

7 Dinty Moore.

8. Marinated or steak (if I have time) but either T-Bone, Porter Houses preferred. Ribeye is too fatty and greasy for me.

9. Veggies can be an assortment of fresh carrots, zuchinni or squash or red potatoes, maybe some canned beans, spiced up with chopped bacon or cinnamon, butter, curry or garlic.

 

 

I try to stay away from stuff with a lot of sodium and rarely ever use salt, pepper or sugar, just a few times a year. I also refrain from chips, cookies, crackers, pretzles and processed meats like provolone and salami except for once or twice a year. Also not soft drinks except for a Jarritos a few times a year.

Pre made breakfast burritos, or breakfast sandwiches and OJ packs. Lunch is wraps or sandwiches in a flat Tupperware because I hate smashed and mushy sandwiches.

Breakfast is easy: Coffee everyday. Make biscuits at home, then biscuits and gravy with red chile powder one day (maybe two). Make coffee and then add that to instant oatmeal another day. Pre-made breakfast burritos another day. The day after steaks on the grill is steak and egg omelets.

 

Dinners can be easy too: First night is chicken breast with enough leftovers for a few days worth of lunch. Chili cheese dogs. Steak with potatoes and onions. Homemade green chile stew with crackers, depends on when it thaws when that is eaten. Chicken pot pie. Shish-ka-bobs.

 

I cook a lot at home and then freeze to take. The two best implements I have found for cooking outside are a Dutch Oven and a Wok.

If your a protein guy like me and you don't want to eat a nasty protein bar or shake, or nasty nasty nasty granola bars (unless its cover and smothered in chocolate) I eat hard peppered salami slices, chorize slices (this is a Spain lunch meat not a Mexican chorize burrito) and maybe some fruit. It taste great, its meat and fat and eat it with fruit it works great! No forks, plates, just eat it out of the bag.

Made a whole thanksgiving dinner on my last deer hunt (it was thanksgiving) had leftovers for a few days. Turkey turned into enchiladas, taters were made in to cakes with fried eggs and bacon for breakfast. Usually a gallon ziplock bad of roasted green chili since I add it to everything. Granola or cereal isn't usually in camp unless it's a quick scouting trip. For the actually hunt where we camp for 5-10 days it's mostly protein, little to no pork except bacon, no added salt, not cause I'm health conscious but I just don't like salt, and lots of fruits and veggies. An apple or banana can be a meal depending on how much sun you get lol. When it rains and snows all day and your stuck in camp, the food gets heavy and creative!

Breakfast is coffee and pop tarts and if we come back to camp then eggs ,sausage and hash brown.

 

Dinner can be elk tacos, dutch oven shepherds pie, Brats or....

 

Always a dutch oven cobbler at night

This is one of my favorite pre cooked dinner meals for hunts.

 

TACO SOUP-
1 can red kidney beans
1 can pinto beans (I like the ranch style pintos with jalepenos)
1 can black beans
1 can tomato sauce
2 cans of Rotel (original or hot depending on your tastes)
1 can of corn (drain the corn first)
2 small cans of green chilles
1 packet of taco seasoning
1.5 lbs of ground elk or beef

Brown your meat, and add all the ingredients and bring to a boil. Pour into bowls and eat with those large frito lay chips. Very good stuff.

 

 

Double the recipe, and put it in some 1 gallon zip lock bags, and store in the cooler. Dump one in a pot and warm up for dinner. Wham bam thank you mam. Just make sure to leave your sleeping bag partially unzipped.

Typically pre-make burritos and freeze them prior to the hunt. Eggs, cheese, and breakfast sausage or bacon for the mornings. For lunches/dinners I usually do burritos with chicken and sweet potatoes

Get the small ones, usually about 6-8 tied together with a piece of corn husk. More like a sausage with chorizo spice. Great on the grill.

Sometimes after I grill them I slice them up and mix into pasta with shrimp or chicken.

Drain and rinse the beans real well and add a tsp of baking soda and the after effect is almost zero.

Breakfast before the hunt ususally consists of energy drinks, donuts, granola bars and/ pop tarts. Upon return from the morning hunt, we usually will make a large breakfast consisting of eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits and potatoes. Dinner's usually go, pizza on the traeger, spaghetti, burgers, brats, chili, chicken wings and ribeyes on kill nights.

Same for us on kill nights, ribeyes and crown. Protein drinks and oatmeal in the am. I love my traeger, how long you put your pizza on there? Never would have thought of that.
