Sausage Speed Meal

 
Dragon’s response to my dutch oven chicken speed meal. Dragon prepares a fast meal for 4 people. This is an easy recipe to learn. She uses a single burner camp stove to prepare this meal. Practice this at home and you will be ready to cook this during your next camping trip.

Ingredients:
14 oz. package of kielbasa sausage
1 1/2 lbs. zucchini
1 lb. Broccoli crowns
2 medium red bell peppers
1 cup rice
4 oz. olive oil
2 cloves of garlic
1 tbsp oregano
1 tbsp granulated garlic powder
1 tsp parsley

Preparation 
  • Cut & separate broccoli crowns into florets 
  • Cut unpeeled zucchini into approx. 2 inch X 1/2 inch sticks
  • Cut ends of bell peppers & pop out stems. Cut peppers lengthwise. Remove seeds and insides. Slice lengthwise
  • Slice kielbasa into approx. 3/8 inch thick
  • Crush the garlic cloves, remove paper and mince
Cooking

  • Heat a large deep skillet to medium/low heat
  • Add above ingredients
  • Drizzle olive oil over the ingredients
  • Add seasoning
  • Stir lightly to coat everything with oil
  • Bring temp to medium until the oil begins to "tick"
  • Lower temp back to medium/low and cover the skillet
  • Cook for approximately 25 minutes or until vegetables are al dente
  • Note: broccoli will take longest. Take care not to overcook zucchini 
  • Stir occasionally
  • After 25 minutes, uncover and add rice to center of skillet
  • Add 1 1/2 cup of water and fold in the rice
  • Recover and cook for approximately 10 minutes or until rice is tender
  • Turn off the burner and allow to rest for 6 minutes, with lid on
  • Uncover and fluff rice to release steam. This will keep the rice from getting pasty
  • Serve

Dutch Oven Chicken Speed Meal


Dutch Oven Chicken Speed Meal. Dragon challenges me to cook a fast meal for 4 people. This is an easy recipe to learn Dutch Oven cooking techniques. We use a Camp Oven “with legs” at home in the oven. Practice this at home and you will be ready to cook this during your next camping trip.
Ingredients:
4 chicken leg quarters
12 small white potatoes
6 large carrots
1 medium red onion
2 cloves of garlic (minced)
½ teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Pepper
½ teaspoon Rosemary
½ teaspoon Thyme
½ teaspoon poultry seasoning
3 tablespoons olive oil
Place trivet into the camp oven. Cut the potatoes in half, cut the carrots into 1 inch pieces, and cut the onion into ¼ inch wedges and place in the oven add the olive oil and seasonings stir to mix well.
Trim all the unwanted or excess fat from the leg quarters. Place the chicken quarters on top the vegetable mixture. Sprinkle the chicken with the poultry seasoning.
Indoor method: Place in a preheated 425 degree oven for 50 minutes. Check the chicken and vegetables for doneness. Then finish under the broiler for an additional ten minutes to brown the chicken. Note: monitor closely while under the broiler.

Winter Range 2016


Single Action Shooters Society 25th Anniversary National Match.  Filmed from the spectator’s point of view with included program data. This video was filmed on one of the slowest days at the event, expect larger crowds on the weekend. Parking was well orchestrated with trams from the parking lot running continuously throughout the day, no or short wait times. Plenty of food vendors with short wait times.  Many vendors were present, any item related to the event could be purchased on site.  This event is family oriented, loud gunfire noise did not seem to be a problem from behind the spectator line.
