Cee Dubs Yankee Chili Recipes

FORTY MILE STEW

Steps:

• Using your camp stove or 15-18 briquets, brown the meat cubes in a 12" Dutch Oven. Just as the meat finishes browning, throw the mushrooms in. Remove from heat and make sure none of the meat cubes have stuck to the bottom. Layer the potatoes slices over the meat and season to taste with salt, pepper, or your favorite camp seasoning. (Kent would add a dash of steak sauce for more flavor.) In whatever order you like, layer the tomatoes, peppers, and onions. Place the sausage patties over top of the last veggie. Bake slowly with 6-8 briquets underneath and 15-18 on top. Add fresh charcoal after an hour and cook for another 30-40 minutes. With only the moisture that cooks out of the vegetables for liquid, this ends up being more like a casserole than what we typically think of as a stew. Ten minutes before you're ready to serve, remove the charcoal from the lid, place the cheese slices over the sausage patties and replace the lid. The cheese slices will melt in about 5 minutes. Make sure when you serve that you get part of each layer.Spiced with More Tall Tales - Soups, Stews and Chili

CEE DUB'S YANKEE CHILI

Steps:

• The night before, put your beans to soak in a large stock pot with enough water to cover them with 4-5 inches of water. The next day, when you come back to camp for lunch, drain and rinse the beans.Set a 1-inch Dutch Oven over 10-15 briquets and pour in the beans with the tomato sauce and stewed tomatoes. Add the dry spices and onions as well. Let this start to simmer while you saute the garlic in 2-3 Tbsp. of olive oil in another Dutch Oven or frying pan. After the garlic turns a golden color add the meat and continue to fry for 10-15 minutes. Drain any excess grease off and add to the Dutch with the beans.Simmer for 1-2 hours or until everyone gets in off the hill.A Back Country Guide to Outdoor Cooking Spiced with Tall Tales - Camp Chili, Stews, Soups and SaucesA Back Country Guide to Outdoor Cooking Spiced with Tall Tales - Camp Chili, Stews, Soups and Sauces
