The dutch oven is always in camp. Ribs, beef stew, roast, chili, biscuits or a peach cobbler.

That mountain house beef stroganoff is good too though if you need to travel light.
 
Tonight was pulled pork, potatoe salad & creamy Aztec soup.
Tomorrow night is beef tips & rice.
Saturday is smoked brisket.
During bow season with just a few here we are a little lame with fixins. Come ML season we'll pull out all the stops until January. The older we get some of us just lay around and cook & be the camp dog!

Deer Camp for me was hunting Pennsylvania with opening day the Monday after Thanksgiving.
We had tons of leftovers, homemade chili and vegetable soup, venison crockpot in cream of mushroom/french onion soup, big breakfasts of fried eggs/hot sausage/bacon/potatoes & onions, pot of coffee on all day, Gordon's chocolate chip cookies, pepperoni rolls and more.
 
Venison stew, homemade chicken soup, pot pie, venison or chicken/turkey, venison chili, brats and kraut, beef and cabbage.

Some of those are dangerous. They'll fart you up pretty good!
 
Friday night before gun opener we always have a big pot luck supper. Wives, kids, grandkids & friends always show up. Sometimes we have 40ish people, kinda like Tgiving at grandmas used to be. One of highlights each season.

that sounds like a good time!
 
It depends on the camp for me…

One camp in North Bama: Denny more beef stew and grill cheeses by the fire and maybe some venison soup or burgers

My camp I south Bama: smash burgers/Philly cheese steaks on blackstone or steaks on the grill. Either that or frozen pizzas 😂

dutch oven on the fire. fry 4 strips of bacon on the bottom until most of the fat is rendered but dont let them crisp yet. on top of that dump 1/2 bag of shredded hash browns. salt n' pepper to taste. sprinkle sausage chunks of your choice. crack a dozen eggs on top of that. sprinkle shredded cheese over top. on goes the lid and an even distribution of hot coals. once the eggs set in 40 min - 1 hour scoop, serve and accomplish absolutely nothing for the next 2 hours.

Love dutch oven cooking....that recipe sounds delicious....do you scramble the egg before adding or just drop them in and bust yoke?

I have a 12" Lodge deep dutch oven this would work great in.....and I have absolutely no problem accomplishing nothing for two hours around the campfire...sounds fantastic actually!!
 
Weekend trips usually a few steaks for the night, then granola bars, vienna sausages, beanie weenies, stuff like that for the day. Lots of water!
 
I have a stockpile of MRE for my all day hunts. Don't really do deer camp since I hunt public. I "rat$&ck" the MRE and get rid of the Charms, beverage powder etc to condense it down. Leave the remaining items in the bag roll it up and tape up with duct tape and throw in the bottom of the bag.

If you don't know the Charms candies are bad luck. If anyone eats them it will rain on you while you are in the field. If anyone ever ate them while we were training they got $hit on by the rest of us all day.

It is! Just get tired of the Beef stew everytime as the older gentleman I go with is a creature of habit lol If I get to chose, I mix it up and all...Sometimes we have backstrap poppers etc. We don't go hungry that's forsure!
