Big Daddys Camp Stew Recipes

EASY CAMP STEW

Steps:

• Cook butterbeans while peeling potatoes.
• Place all ingredients in 4 quart pot.
• Cook on medium low for 30 minutes to 1 hours or until potatoes are done.
• To speed the process a little, boil the potatoes before adding to the stew.
• This will be better the next day.
• This can also be done in a slow cooker. Adjust time to 3 hours or more.

CAMPFIRE STEW DUTCH OVEN CAMPING RECIPE

Steps:

• Prepare your campfire for cooking over hot coals.
• Prep vegetables as described: garlic, onions, potatoes, carrots and celery.
• Prep beef and bacon as described.
• In 12-inch camp Dutch oven, cook and stir bacon over medium-high heat until bacon is browned and crisp. Scrape up brown bits from bottom of pan.
• Season beef with salt and pepper and add to Dutch oven, stir until beef is seared.
• Reduce heat to medium, add garlic and onions, cook till softened.
• Add remaining ingredients including the tomato paste, beef broth, rosemary, parsley, thyme, potatoes, carrots and celery, stirring to combine.
• Bring to simmer over medium heat.
• Cover and continue simmering over low heat, stirring occasionally until meat and vegetables are tender, approximately 1 - 2 hours. Camp Cooking Tip: We like our stew meat to be extremely tender so I give it as much time in the pot as possible. I always plan for 2 hours of simmering time unless we have a super busy camping day and I just don't have that luxury. No matter what, don't increase the campfire temperature to the boiling point because that will just make the meat tough.
• Remove lid and continue to simmer until your Campfire Stew reaches your desired thickness. Camp Cooking Tip: The longer it cooks with the lid removed, the thicker the stew becomes. If you want a soup-like stew you will be ready to serve shortly after the meat and veggies are tender. But if you want a thick beef stew in a rich sauce (which is how our family likes it), you should plan on about 20 more minutes to finish cooking to that consistency.

• Put over heat (I've done this with propane campstoves and in covered Dutch ovens with charcoal -- both ways work fine) and simmer for 1 hour.
