EASY Deer Camp Chicken Pot Pie

[Jeff]

Yesterday for supper we had chicken breasts and roasted potatoes for supper. We saved out two of the cooked chicken breasts for tonight's fare.

Here's the recipe 
two 16oz bags frozen "soup vegetables" THAWED
2 cans cream of chicken soup
2 diced to your preferred size cooked chicken breasts

Mix vegetables and soup together, season with paprika and pepper. We like a little more here for that extra "bite"

Put the veggies in a 9 by13 baking dish.

Combine in mixing bowl:

2 cups jiffy baking mix
2 eggs
1 cup milk

Pour mixture over veggie, meat and soup mix. Let stand 20 minutes while you preheat oven to 375°

Bake until top is golden brown, probably 35-40 minutes

EAT!

Variation of the recipe once you get a deer, which we havn't done.  Replace chicken with cooked venison burger and replace cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom.

Looks good.
But I find the hot dogs and assorted cookies get me by fine.  :D

[WDH]

That is gonna make me head straight for the refrigerator ;D. 

I managed to get a nasty head cold.  My wife made turkey soup for me tonight.  Very nice, but I could have used some of that chicken pie!  Some say that a picture is worth a thousand words.  In this case, a picture causes a thousand taste buds to scream out for chicken pie  .

My Mama makes the best chicken pie in the world.  Recently, Linda tried her hand at it and it was DanG good, too.  I'm in Fat City!! 8) 8) 8)

Errr, I thought you was supposed to eat deer at the deer camp. ???

[beenthere]

Oh DanG....you gonna get in trouble talkin like dat... ;D ;D

[DanG]

What's he gonna do, turn me upside down? ;D :D :D

[WDH]

He might put you under water.................

[DanG]

'Long as he don't throw me in the briar patch! :

Why no partridge? It's a hunting camp ain't it?  :

[DanG]

 :D :D :D :D :D

Now y'all can see why I don't shave!  A face like that deserves a good beard!

[Jeff]

We don't have partridge, we have Grouse.   3 kinds. Spruce, sharptail and Ruffed. Problem is the first two are protected. You better know your grouse.   On my property I have mostly spruce grouse with a few ruffed. I'd rather watch them then eat them.

I remarked in the first post about not having venison yet. We dont have a large deer population and what we have is constantly tormented by canine predators and harsh winters.   We got our first significant snow two nights ago. 8 inches.

looks and sounds good-am going to try this,thanks bert

[SwampDonkey]

Ruffed grouse is partridge up here, now down south they may call quail partridge as I understand. You can't get out of it that easy. ;D

But if you like to look and not eat, that's ok too I guess.  :D

I only see spruce grouse in the softwood forest, never seen one in our local forest ever. But in 2004 when I was marking trails 25 meters apart on 150 acres of pure softwood there was spruce grouse as thick as chickadees.

Its interesting how your perspectives change when the land is your own. I'm finding myself passing up opportunities to take game on my property when I would have shot without a thought in the past. I've had a better time hunting and not killing on my own land then I ever did hunting and killing in the past. 

Tonight is chicken pie again but instead of chicken, I'm using left over pork from the 2008 pig roast a nd mushroom soup.  Nobody in here but me so this batch will last me until monday.

[DanG]

Mushroom soup makes for easy cooking and good eating.  Gonna put a beef roast in the crockpot with some for supper tonite.  We have a very special guest who should be arriving any minute.  This is gonna be a fun weekend!  Perhaps I'll share a little of it with y'all later. ;D

I used to aggressively hunt pheasant and turkey but since we bought the farm so to speak it's changed for us also. Now when I see a rooster pheasant or a big tom turkey I can't bring myself to shoot them. Think to myself man all the work I did to get them on the farm and now blamm....unh uhhh. :D

[SwampDonkey]

They always said that ruffed grouse was a species that wasn't largely impacted by hunting pressure. Maybe so, maybe not. I never see those 10-12 bird flocks any more. So, unless the climate or natural predators have a bigger impact now than they did 25 years ago, I'm not so sure about such statements from DNR. It's not that birds are rare or anything, I could find a bird any day I want. You just have to be in the woods and not "Hollywood Hunting" from the pickup window.  :D

I do know that my resident "chicken hawk" took one this fall along the road.

Ooh My.  I'm pretty sure I found the best use yet for left over pig roast pork.

[SwampDonkey]

Well, might as well eat good when in the camp anyway, or any day for that matter.  ;D

Piggy Pot Pie! Yumm!


My grandfather Merrill was an avid deer hunter for most of his life. In later years, he couldn't do much but look out the window. He put out  a salt block for the deer, and in the end, I think he really rather watch the deer than hunt them.

With all these pictures of food it is only a matter of time til Tammy drags Jeff back home and shackles to the kitchen stove. The next pics will be Tammy running the bio-dryer and Jeff with an apron on. :D :D

[Norm]

With him making dishes like that I don't blame her one bit!

[Wildflower]

Jeff looks better in an apron than I do... :D
Jeff and I have an arrangement. He does the cooking and I clean up after him.  Jeff can come up with some really good things from hardly nothing.  And I really don't mind cleaning as long as I get to eat and not cook. 8) 8)

[SwampDonkey]

Wildflower has learned the unwritten rule about cooking. Don't complain and you won't have to do the cooking.  ;D :D :D :D :D
