Had our first cool morning of the Fall here in VA. 36 deg.... Got me thinking about my blind menus for the season. I take a small kit, with a backpacker's stove and make us breakfast most mornings. I started with breakfast burritos, and then added Sausage gravy and biscuits. I am thinking of adding a breakfast soup/stew to the rotation.....

Anyone have easy favorites? Something I can heat up in one pan/pot?
 
Down south for a Yankee like me it would be, SCRAPLE, 2 eggs and Hash Browns... If I am up here here its Corned Beef Hash, 2 eggs, Homefries and Bacon. The extra Bacon I cook is used for the Grilled Cheese sandwiches at lunch. Got to have fresh Coffee all day.

We do it quick and simple some times. Brown sausage , egg & cheese hot pockets on grate attached to big buddy heater. When I have 3 or 4 in blind I keep a 2 burner coleman stove stashed in storage container under bench. Then I,ll warm up pecan twirls or warm up some thinly sliced smoked duck or goose breast as well as pissa rolls & of course the breakfast HOT POCKETS. So far haven,t had to break out frying pan but I see it comeing in the future. Hard part is getting a cook to volunteer that won,t burn the goodies!
 
Dave,

Two of my favorites are Biscuits & gravy or an egg bake (meat, potatoes, onions, grn pepper and cheese).

What works really good is to break up the biscuits in the gravy and vacuum seal in bags. Same thing with the Egg Bake, prebake it, cut in individual portions and vacuum seal in plastic bags. When ready to eat heat water in a pot ( I use an old 1 gallon coffee pot) and put the plastic bags right in the pot until they get hot. When they are done just cut open the top and eat. Clean up can't be any easier.

One thing I have tried that works even better than the coffee pot is an old pressure cooker. You can preload it with water (doesn't take much), and food bags - then when you are ready to eat just light the fire. Either get a pressure cooker at an estate sale or buy new. I see some of the products imported from India (they pressure cook a lot of their food there) are as small as 2 liters - perfect for a couple of breakfast bags IMO. Pressure cookers will heat your meal way faster that an open pot.
 
Getting me hungry. Dave when do you serve breakfast... Biscuits and gravy sounds good. Sausage too, scrapple will do in a pinch. Local hunter raffle off a hunt at DU. Two course breakfast, better lunch and bay scallops [in season].
How to get all the in the south bay boat, maybe a tow a pond box??? Good news from surgeon, can shoot but start with a 20ga. Gonna start with it, if no pain, 12 comes out...
 
DAVE,
YOUR BREAKFAST SOUNDS GREAT.WHEN I WAS ACTIVELY HUNTING OUT OF SNEAK BOXES , MY PARTNER & I HAD A SMALL PRO PAIN STOVE HE WOULD PUT IT ON THE DECK & WE WOULD HAVE EGGS OVER LIGHT & JERSEY TAYLOR PORK ROLL OR FRENCH TOAST ,REALLY HIT THE SPOT WHEN BIRDS TAKE THEIR MORNING BREAK. ESPECIALLY ON A COLD DAY. HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD SEASON. PAUL
 
Good morning, Dave~

Our standard gunners' breakfast here around the table is Quiche Lorraine. I cannot think of a better way to have bacon, eggs and cheese....(and not to stint on the cholesterol, I use plenty of heavy cream and make my crust with lard).

Only problem is it re-heating without an oven. Do you a microwave aboard? (You could certainly heat it in a covered pan.)

All the best,

SJS
