    I make a sweet potato chili that is easy. You brown ground beef, add spices add some tomato paste, stir together. Add a can of diced tomatoes (I use the ones with green chili in it). Then add a diced sweet potato that you have cooked through (I start this out first and it cooks while I’m doing the ground beef). When the sweet potato is cooked I add it to the beef mixture and cook together. You can serve it with cheddar cheese, sour cream, onions, green onions or whatever you want. The spices I use are chili pepper, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, cayenne. Also... you inspired me to learn to carve a spoon so I got a kit for Christmas! Stay safe and keep camping! Peace ☮️ ✌️🚛

    One of my favorite, easy meals, is to cook pork in a slow cooker, with verde salsa. Shred it after it’s tender enough. Serve it on a tortilla with refried beans and cheese. Makes a surprisingly good burrito.

  • @clarkleakins879

    Brian, try grilling your purple onions. Cut thick, so that circles stay together. Put on grill, or in your cast iron pan. Slab of butter on top. Grill until golden, flip and grill other side. YUMMMYYYY!!!!

    Hi Brian just watched Kelly's video now I'm watching yours a favorite recipe for camp is as follows. Slice up two to three potatoes cook them about halfway then add peppers onions and a hot dog or two cut up. Continue cooking till the potatoes are done and seasoned well. In a cup, scramble up two eggs with a fork or whisk pour that over the potatoes, put a lid on till the egg Cooks then of course mix it all up sprinkle cheddar or American or whatever kind of cheese you want on top and put the lid back on and steam till the cheese melts. That is an excellent camp meal and tastes so good out in the wild.

    We just purchased a Fox Outfitters grill like the one you use. We're very happy with it! It's the sturdiest small portable grill we've found. We got the larger one, because the small one was out of stock at the time. Thank you, Brian.

      @billintexas7061 2 роки тому +1

  • @billbeach5927
    @billbeach5927 2 роки тому +1

    An easy good meal is to slice up any meat chicken, beef, or pork into half inch slices. Also cut up a green pepper into half inch slices as well as an onion. First fry up the onion and green pepper until they start to get soft then throw in the meat until it is done and serve everything over rice. It's especially good if you use a homemade teriyaki sauce: mix soy sauce, brown sugar diced onion, diced garlic, and a dash of vinegar. Let the meat soak in it for at least a couple hours.

    Hey Brian, you asked for recipes. Here's one of our favorites - Easy Chili:
    1 lbs of lean sirloin or your favorite meat (or not). I chose sirloin over hamburger because it's more lean.
    11oz can of chili beans
    11oz can of pinto beans
    11oz can of tomato sauce
    24oz jar of Pace Picante Sauce (spiciness to your taste)
    Cube the sirloin to 1/4" cubes trimming off fat and any gristle.
    Sear in a hot pot
    Add chili and pinto beans (be sure to rinse the pinto beans unless you want to reenact a scene in Blazing Saddles)
    Add tomato and picante sauce
    Let simmer on low heat (so it has a light boil) with the lid off for 1 hour or more. Occasionally stir.
    Enjoy!!

    I'm using an old timey method for colds . Updated with a zinc tablet.
    Twice a day scrape the white fibers from orange peals. Lemon and grapefruit works too. The white fibers on the inside of the peal contains quinine. For each scraping add one zinc tablet. Keeps a cold in check. Helps your body fight the cold. Chicken soup and rest helps too.
    Nice camp.

    Although you've said you could go back to a standard van, it looks to me like the box van is the perfect solution to your chosen lifestyle. I believe Dreamside Out was a bit of an inspiration for you in that regard. If I get the chance to pick one up at a decent price, I think I will. I'm strategizing for retirement, and I do appreciate all the inspiration you provide. Hope Kelly is feeling better!

Scrambled eggs with green peppers, garlic and onion is chopped finely.
