Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation Steak and Lobster for first night in camp, what is your tradition?

The first night in deer camp is Pizza and beer as everyone doesn't get there until later at night. However The next day, Sunday, is a feast, usually grilled meats, mostky wild game. Two or three styles of baked beans, potato salad, veggies of all sorts. We invite all of the surrounding land owners, and hunting clubs. The group up the road to us, are black guys, and they always bring KFC. Never fails to me make me chuckle

Not the 1st night of camp but the night before season starts we do a fish fry (crappie) with soft fried potato's hushpuppies and a can of beans.

I don't think we have had the fish fry without company showing up from some other camp. I always bring extra and we enjoy the company.

Speaking of camp meals. It ain't Dinty Moore but here's a quick and easy one pan meal I made at Grouse camp last week.
Onion, Bell Pepper, and Zucchini saut�ed and then I lay some Texas Longhorn German Sausage on top, throw a lid on and let em steam for a few minutes. This particular sausage is so flavorful no other spices are required.





I also had Grouse and Green Beans one night and Ham steak with Pinto's I doctored up with bacon and onions at home another but food gets cold so fast up there I didn't stop for pix.

Course those were two pan meals but still not much harder than opening a can.

Cooking on the Coleman stove probably makes it taste better, also.

You bettcha,,,, campfire ash adds a nice texture too.

Charlie I make something like that at home from time to time. Just good simple food!

I love that kind of stuff Keith and those Texas Longhorn Sausage are the best. I could eat em every day.

I'm all for keeping things simple at camp (or at home) but that doesn't mean ya have to eat out of a can although I will use canned goods for ingredients.

Edit; I was mistaken on the name. It's "Longhorn Barbeque" out of Spokane.
I get their Sausage at a local market but I don't see it online.

Since I hunt alone, my first "Camp" meal is pretty simple, I take a small roasting tin, half fill with sauerkraut, add a whole kielbasa and bake for an hour or so, boiled potatoes, and fresh baked rye bread and butter, enough left over for sandwiches to take on stand! But the bakery that i would get my Rye Bread from has close this past june, Its going to be tough this year I think!
