white beans with assorted pork products, rice
jambalaya or pastalaya
spaghetti & meat sauce
etc

i try to bring to the camp as few items that have to be kept cold as humanly possible, especially in the summer. dried beans & pasta, smoked meats, canned tomatoes, etc.

we will catch fish to fry or crabs to boil in the summer, and shoot ducks to smother during the winter

CAMP CHILI & CORNBREAD

Ingredients:
3 pounds of ground beef
1 large onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
8 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano
1 28-oz can of diced tomatoes
1 6-oz tomato paste
1 16-oz can of kidney beans or black beans
5 tablespoons of chili powder
2 tablespoons of ground chipotle powder
1 tablespoon of ground cumin
1 can of beer (or water)
2 8.5-oz boxes of Jiffy cornbread (or any other corn bread mix you like)
(eggs and milk for the Jiffy cornbread mix)
Salt and black pepper

Directions:
Make a layer of hot coals on the ground.
Place the dutch oven over the coals and allow the dutch oven to get hot.

Cook the ground beef until it starts to brown, breaking up the meat with a spatula.
Add the onions, garlic, and bell pepper and continue to cook until the vegetables are softened
Add the chili powder, chipotle powder, cumin, diced tomatoes, and tomato paste.

Add the can of beer and beans and cook for another 10-15 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Make the cornbread mix in a bowl and pour over the top of the chili.

Place the lid on top of the dutch oven and place about 20 hot coals over the top of the lid.

Cook for about 10 minutes and check to see if the cornbread is done cooking by lifting the lid and poking a skewer through the cornbread. If it comes out clean the chili is done.

get you one of these
LINK

you can fit 4 to 6 chickens on it. I put a 9 lb back of charcoal in the bottom, stacked in a cone. I pour lighter fluid on just the middle part. light and let the middle coals get hot. I then pile wood chips around the outside of the cone. I put full water pan above the coals and put whole chickens breast down (season with tonys or rub of choice). put the lid on and forget about it for 4 or 5 hours. perfect for before an afternoon hunt.

I don’t eat at the camp very often, but the main camp meals are:

Fried fish
Jambalaya
Gumbo
And a simple thin gravy with big cubes of deer meat. Served with rice and white beans.
A couple guys cook this at the camp, and i can’t duplicate it at home.

I like to not clean a thing. Go w a steak on the grill. Pull off and eat w pocket knife. For breakfast mix up some eggs onion ground meat and cheese in a big ol skillet on the grill scoop into tortillas and eat.

Sandwiches.

If I have more than a skillet and a few utensils to clean I did something wrong.

I do like to cook down some white beans and ham at home that just need heated at camp. Cook a couple of pans of cornbread and pack with it. Just heat up beans and serve over cornbread. Throw paper bowl in fire

We do a lot of smoking on the UDS. Set it up about 10 and everything is done and ready around 7 at night. Ribs, boston butts, tenderloins, chicken, and just about anything that takes a long smoking turns out great.

I like eating stuff the wife doesn’t like me eating at the house


Cabbage, black eyed peas, turnips. Usually regret it the next morning.

spaghetti & meat sauce


For a while I thought I was the only one that liked meat sauce. Just spent a week in the hospital and was craving it. I was discharged Friday. Meat sauce was Saturday.
