10 Can Soup is really easy / Zatarans Jambalaya with little smokies always hits the spot

I am not sure where he heard about it (and I kinda think you might have been around Chris) but Thomas made some kind of Pineapple upside down cake in a dutch oven while we were on our Public Hunt in Edna and it was pretty darn good.  I wont mention the crawfish ettouffee he made too cause then we would have to talk about slappin a momma and that just aint right.

Old family recipe, Pineapple bread desert.

In a dutch oven melt 2 sticks of butter, with the oven setting on some hot coals, lid should be preheating.

To the melted butter add 10 slices of bread, cut into 1" cubes.

Cook untill bread is golden brown.

Add 1 cup of sugar and 2 cans crushed pineapple, stir well.

Cover and continue to cook with top heat for about 30 minutes.

There has to be a way to cook a pizza in a Dutch oven. I know when I was younger my mom made pizza all the time and she made it with biscuits as the breading. It wad good good, I would like to see y'all try it. My sister also has a bad ass recipe for a cinnamon flop with biscuits as the breading, I will get it for you it is really goo.

Paul,

    I was hoping you would chime in on this thread, as I recall seeing some pics of you and Emily with some good looking camp grub in the past.  Being relatively new to dutch oven cooking, I started with charcoal, and I am slowly evolving to cooking with coals. The pineapple bread dessert sounds tasty and simple.


Boarmom,

     The eggs in a nest and the biscuits on a stick sound like something our daughters will enjoy making.

Matt,
    You need to have your mom kick out a recipe for the pizza...what type biscuits, sauce, cheese, and toppings she used. Sounds like another meal the girls would enjoy being involved in.

Stick N Move,
    Mandi and I had a week long trip planned to the Caprock last year and had to back out at the last minute... This year we have been taking some short 2-3 day trips camping with the horses and doing some trail riding at different areas. Last weekend we went to Lake Somerville. Mid January we will spend some time in Bandera. After deer season we will take some extended trips camping and hog hunting horseback on some of the nicer properties we have to hunt. Then hopefully mid to late spring we will actually make it to the caprock. BTW, you and the ninja are always welcome around our fire... y'all should plan to meet up on one of these trips.

Salmon patties are always a good change of pace for me. Caned salmon, Ritz crackers, one egg, onion, garlic, cayenne, parsley, salt, pepper, make patties and roll in corn meal. Fry in a med hot skillet untill brown.

Another favorite, called Tom Fuller....

Take about half the skin off russet potatoes, chunk them up and add to a boiling dutch oven. Add onion, chopped and garlic to taste, salt and pepper.

While the potatoes are boiling, cube up a pound or pound and a half of good bacon and fry it in a skillet, cook it just to firm but not crisp.

When potatoes are done drain the water and add the bacon, grease and all, (the more bacon grease the better)....then stir in a can of white corn and add a stick of butter.

Let simmer for about 30 minutes and serve. This make a very hearty side dish or can be rolled in warm tortillas as a meal of its own.

Here is one that we always make when we go to the ranch on opening bow weekend. It is awesome!



2 #’s of raw shrimp
2 links of Smoked sausage
2 Red Bell peppers
2 Serrano peppers…diced very fine.
2 large red onions
2 bunches of Cilantro…(If they are large bunches, I use 1 ½ )

Just chop up the veggies …especially the Serrano’s… put in a large skillet or dutch oven, slice the sausage into rings, throw in the shrimp, turn to med. Heat and let it go. Stirring occasionally. It’ll makes its own juice.

Cook till veggies are soft (30-45 minutes) and covered in juice,… turn to simmer and eat when your ready.

Tweak it to suit your taste…I’ll add an extra Serrano or add extra onion sometimes…or more shrimp. Serve over Spanish/dirty rice or eat in a tortilla! Good stuff~!

easy way for a meal camping is to make it and freeze it in gallon baggies before you go  this can be done with pretty much everything from spegetti to chicken alfredo to hamburger helper . just keep cold and stays good for awhile!  good luck

I like this for breakfast.

needed

dutch oven
bag of frozen hash browns
1 lb of Jimmy Dean sausage or you favorite
1 dozen eggs
1 lb cheese, cheddar, American or whatever you like


Brown the sausage, scramble the eggs and cook about half way done

Layer the hash browns in the bottom of the dutch oven, spread the sausage over the hash browns, pour the semi cooked eggs over the works and top with as much grated cheese as you like.

Cook for about 30 minutes at 350 or how ever you work your coals

I make this in quail camp every year. It is a rib sticker, especially if you cook up a batch of biscuits to go along with it.
