swamp monkey:
here is one of my favorites.  everyone has a chili recipe.  Choose your won but DON'T skip on the cornbread part.  I was skeptical at first but I now i am a convert!

Scoutmaster Chili
Ingredients:
•   3 pounds of ground beef
•   1 large onion, diced
•   1 can of tomato Juice
•   2-6 cloves of garlic, minced
•   1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano
•   1 6-oz tomato paste
•   1 16-oz can of kidney beans or black beans
•   1-2 packets of chili powder mix
•   2 8.5-oz boxes of Jiffy cornbread (or any other corn bread mix you like)
•   (eggs and milk for the Jiffy cornbread mix)
•   Salt and black pepper
Directions:
Brown ground beef.  Add the beans, onions and garlic, chili powder, tomato juice (as needed), salt and pepper.  Cook until it boils.  Make the cornbread mix in a bowl according to box directions, and pour over the top of the chili.  Ensure it is somewhat thick and not runny.  Place the lid on top of the Dutch oven and place about 20 hot coals over the top of the lid.  Cook for about 10 minutes and check to see if the cornbread is done cooking by lifting the lid and poking a skewer through the cornbread. If it comes out clean the chili is done.

Hope you got an oven with a good lip on the lid, it holds coals better.  Here's a recipe for stew: might take 2 Dutch ovens, though,  this should feed about 6 - 8
4lbs or so wild meat
8 lbs potatoes
2 + lbs of vegetables
Salt  and whatever other spices you like
Garlic (don't forget the garlic). :)

Biscuit mix or the pop can stuff if you want dumplings on top

Cut the meat and vegetables into small chunks, brown the meat, add veggies and spices
Bring the stew to a boil, then move to edge of the fire and simmer about an hour  check the taters, if you can stick them easily the stew is ready - taste it
If you are adding dumplings, cover the stew with dollops of dough, or the premade stuff about 15 minutes
Before you think the stew is ready.

You can make a Shepherd's Pie by holding the potatoes out and boiling them separately then mashing them
And covering the meat and veggies when about half done.  Still takes about an hour or so,  maybe two beers
Or so

You can also bake cakes carefully - line the DO with foil and fill with your favorite cake mix try to keep even heat, and check with toothpick, when it comes out clean, enjoy!!

Use your imagination, and eat hearty.   I haven't made cookies in a DO yet, but it would probably work.

When you are ready for a tall tale, I'll post my recipe for "Ronndyvoo Buffaler Stew"

Cipaille
An old French recipe commonly made around here

1 LB Moose
1 LB Venison
1 Rabbit
1 Grouse
1 Large Onion
3 or 4 Potatoes, depending on how big they are
Salt and Pepper to taste
Pie dough to line the oven and make a crust

Cut the meat into small cubes and brown in a large skillet using lard.  Remove the meat and make gravy from the drippings

Dice the onions and cut the potatoes into cubes.

Roll out some of the pie dough and line the oven with it. Mix the meat, potatoes, onions and gravy together and put into oven.  Roll out more pie dough for the crust.  Cook for 2 or 3 hours in an oven or until crust is well cooked.

The original recipe called for 6 wild meats but those 4 are the most commonly used
