The What's for supper Grandpa thread is great and I have picked up quite a few things to try. A recipe thread was suggested, so I think I will start it.
Cube steaks in whatever sauce
Beef or pork cube steak works well. I like the take cube steaks, and pound them thin in seasoned flour. Works better to control the mess, if the flattening process is done inside a thick plastic bag.
Then give them another trip through the flour. Season the flour with salt pepper and your favorite seasonings.
Fry them until almost done, set them aside and keep them warm until everything is fried
Simmer them in mushroom soup, any condensed soup, alfredo sauce, curry sauce, spaghetti sauce,
Add onions mushrooms, and green peppers, I usually caramelize a third, add a third at the beginning and then throw in the last third towards the end for different flavors and texture.
If the sauce isn't thick enough use a cold cornstarch or flour slurry. Bring to a boil and then back to a simmer to thicken the sauce, serve the sauce and cube steak over over rice, buttered egg noodles or mashed potatoes

I dont have many rustic fresh , or open fire recipes but ive come up with some pretty good diet / low calorie density recipes over the years .. meaning gets you really full but not overboard on the cals.
Heres one - Crab ( or tuna ) cakes
1 can tuna or crab in water.
1 egg white (dont use the yolk)
1 stalk celery chopped fine ( too chunky and patty cant stay together)
1/2 stick carrot grated fine
2 teaspoons vinegar( more if you like it tangy )
1/2 cup instant whole grain oatmeal
1/4 cup sweet relish
mix all the above in a bowel, should be a bit pasty and easy to form meatballs with, slightly squash the rolled meatball into a patty
if its too loose, add a bit more oatmeal, it its too firm you can add another egg white or a partial one. I have also loosened the dough some with a little milk but prefer not to since milk has fat
spray pan with non fat cooking spray and cook on high about 3-5 minutes per side until crispy dark on each side
Should make 3 descent sized patties
I make my own tarter sauce for them mixing the following with a fork to taste.
Sweet relish
Vinegar
NO FAT mayo
I usually eat these with a side of steamed or raw broccoli cause I can dip my veggies into the tarter sauce
I have lots of these types of recipes including deserts, not sure if they are cabin material though

Tuna Helper Deluxe
1 box of tuna helper
1 can mixed vegetables with liquid
2 cans of tuna, I like the larger cans
Just follow the directions on the box, after putting the veggies in the skillet. I also don't drain the tuna, but only use tuna packed in water.
For leftovers it nukes nicely with a shot of milk and a slice of cheese for a little extra something.

Sausage Bean Soup (Mine - served at Callahan's as Hog Hunter Stew or something like that)
water – 3 cups (plus or minus one for refried bean moisture variations)
3 large beef bullion cubes
4 16oz cans fat-free refried beans
4 16oz cans black-eyed peas
3 10oz cans Rotelle
1 15oz can tomato sauce
2 - 3 tablespoons cumin
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoons onion powder
1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon chili flakes/seeds
3 pounds pork sausage
2 large red onions, chopped
3 – 9 cloves of fresh grated garlic
approximately 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, minced
Place 3 cups of water and the bullion in a large (2.5 gallon minimum) pot and bring to boil to get the bullion into solution. Then reduce temperature to low/simmer and add the DRIED seasonings and all the canned material EXCEPT one can of Rotelle. Stir occasionally as temperature comes up.
Hard brown pork sausage in large pan – the crusty texture will soften in the liquid. Remove and press/strain fat through a colander and reserve. Place the strained pork in the pot. Deglaze pan with the remaining can of Rotelle and add this to the pot.
Caramelize the onions in the pork fat, press/strain the fat for disposal this time and place the onions in the pot.
Increase heat to medium/low and slowly bring the temperature up, stirring frequently to avoid scorching. Do not boil. Once warm, add the remaining water to achieve the desired texture – smooth and still able to cling to a spoon. 5 minutes prior to serving, add cilantro, grated garlic, and a splash of liquid smoke (optional).
Serve with toasted sourdough bread.
Avoid sausage with much seasoning to prevent competition with other added seasonings.
I like the fat free refried beans. I've tried regular refried beans and they make it too heavy on the pallet.
The bullion I use is Knorr brand, about .4 oz per cube.
The result is very stable and will rest on a low heat for a long time with an occasional addition of water. If this is the intent, consider adding a touch of additional cilantro to individual bowls at serving as an aromatic

Napoli Pizza Recipe (Mine)
Pizza Crust Ingredients:
1 ½ cups Filtered water
3 cups King Arthur Bread flour
1 cup King Arthur Bread flour, withheld
2 tsp. Kosher or Sea Salt
½ cup sour dough sponge
1 Tbsp. Instant Dry Yeast
Add the water first followed by the rest of the ingredients with the flour last. Mix on the lowest speed for 1-2 minutes or until blended. You should have a mix that is drier than a batter, but wetter than a dough. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Start mixing. Five minutes in, add the withheld flour gradually. After the first 7 minutes, increase the mixer speed slightly. Mix until the sides are clean with the bottom sticking somewhat. You don't want a free ball. Balance with additional flour if necessary.
Let it rest for 20 minutes. Pour onto a floured surface. Sprinkle with flour and knead for 30 seconds. Divide into three equally sized balls.
Wipe 3 1-quart Glad plastic containers with an oiled paper towel and store the dough in the fridge for 1 day.
Sauce:
2 14.5 oz. cans diced petite tomatoes
1 14.5 oz. can thick and zesty tomato sauce
6 pitted olives
4 lg cloves garlic
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp pesto
Pour petite tomatoes into a colander and rinse until it quits foaming. Rake the tomatoes off the top and discard the seeds. Squeeze out the remaining water. Pour tomato sauce into a blender and add olives and chop. Grate garlic cloves, add olive oil, pesto, then tomatoes, then do a minimal blend to retain texture.
Toppings:
16 oz. whole milk mozzarella cut into small cubes
8 oz. Asiago grated
8 oz. Parmesan grated
2 lg portabella mushrooms chopped
6 green onions chopped
1 lb. Grd pork spiced to match the flavor of sausage, cooked.
Assembly:
When you spread the dough, don't use a rolling pin or knead the dough. Just smooth/stretch the dough.
Have your toppings laid out so that you can sauce the dough, throw on any other toppings and get it into the oven immediately. From the time the sauce hits the dough, the dough is starting to water log and will not rise. When you spread the sauce on the pie, put a little less in the center because the liquid tends to pool there.
Bake in 500-degree oven for 12 minutes or so. Remove and place on cooling grate.

Asiago cheese. Bake in a 350-degree convection oven until cheese is lightly browned.
It will not melt like soft cheese.

Cranberry Snow Drops
The Ultimate Christmas Cookie!
Jacqueline Hunter
Ingredients:
1-cup flour
1-cup oats
½ tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
¼ cup butter
¼ cup shortening
½ cup brown sugar packed
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
½ cup white chocolate chips
½ cup dried sweetened cranberries (Crasins)

In a separate bowl combine salt, flour, baking soda and oats. Set aside.
In a mixer beat the butter and shortening until smooth. Scrap sides with spatula.
Add sugars and beat until fluffy. Scrap sides.
Add egg and vanilla and mix. Scrap sides.
Then, while slowly mixing, gradually add dry ingredients.
Note: Flour and oats will stick to the bottom so you might want to pause in the middle of adding the dry ingredients and scrap the bottom with a spatula.
Once thoroughly combined, add the chips and cranberries and mix only enough to spread them throughout the dough. Do not over beat or you'll pulverize the chips.
Spoon the dough onto the cookie sheet about 2 inches apart in walnut sized balls.
Cook for 7 to 8 minutes. Do not overcook. These cookies are best soft on top, golden on bottom. Remove from sheet immediately and cool on a wire rack or a cool surface.
Makes 30-34 cookies. Enjoy!

Orange Crush Ice Cream
Ingredients:
2 liters of Orange Crush (approximately)
1 can of crushed pineapple, well drained (4.25 oz)
1 can of Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk (14 oz)
Chill the Crush and pineapple in the refrigerator before mixing
Put all three ingredients into the ice cream churn canister.
Assemble the ice cream churn.
Add ice and salt to the pail as you would for any ice cream recipe.
Allow the churn to run for at least 30 minutes before checking it.
After the mix has hardened, allow it to set for another 15-30 minutes.
Notes:
Do not substitute evaporated milk.
All brands of orange flavored carbonated drink are not the same.
We like Orange Crush best.
If you have a large ice cream churn, you can double the recipe.
You can make this without the pineapple, but it is not as good.
This recipe usually does not cause an electric churn to stop running
when it is finished (as most ice cream recipes do).

---Chicken Parm Patties-- -
Bag of frozen chicken tenderloins ( I buy these from ALDIS) they sell frozen thighs, legs and such but the tenderloins work best for this.
Thaw the chicken and remove the meat from the main vein that is in each one ( cook this vein and its a rubberband.. not good eating)
Blend the chicken meat in your blender until its all mushy.. seems a bit gross i know but were not done yet..
Mix the following in a large bowel
2 egg whites
Blended chicken meat
2 cups parmesan cheese (pre graded kind from a shaker)
Half jar of favorite sheghetti or marinara sauce ( i prefer the italian sausage flavored spaghetti sauce from ragu)
2 table spoons Oregano
Mix this all together very well, if you love your parmesan you can add more.. my wife insists I add an entire jar of it.
Form patties about the size of a burger , spray pan with non fat spray and cook on medium on each side until brown and crispy surface.. I usually cook 7 minutes per side minimum since it is chicken.
** Sometimes I flip them more than once to be super safe
Cover with lid if you have one to keep all the heat cooking the chicken instead of escaping
Once you have flipped it for the last time, for some extra cheesy flavor put some shredded mozzarella and parm on top and let it melt. Top with a little more sauce and server
Completely transforms frozen chicken into something great

Tuna Surprise
The other day I was going for a batch of tuna helper deluxe that turned into a culinary adventure.
I had two cans of tuna in the skillet, cast Iron of course. Then I checked my cupboard. Maybe I need to reverse this process.
I discovered I didn't have tuna helper. I must have used the last when I substituted canned chicken for tuna that last time. I also discovered my cupboard needed replenishing as I didn't have a can of mixed vegetables.
I grabbed up a can of yellow Hominy, I really like Hominy and can of green beans.
I would need two cans of condensed mushroom soup for the quantities I was working with.
Once again I found only one can of soup, but did find a Jar of Rague Cheddar cheese sauce.
Great back in business. The Mushroom soup and a healthy amount of cheese sauce went into the skillet.
I drained of the green beans into a glass and the green beans went into the skillet. The green bean juice would be used for thinning if needed.
I emptied the hominy juice into the soup can to get all the soup out. Then the soup can was dumped into the skillet. The hominy went into the skillet.
I diced an onion and threw that in.
Added salt, pepper, little garlic powder, ground cumin, a few dashes of smoked paprika, and finished with a dash of Bay seasoning.
Obviously seasonings are individual so add or detract from my list.
Mixed it all together and simmered it for a while, maybe thirty minutes or so, after all everything is already cooked and you are marrying flavors.
I made a batch of rice and spooned the mixture over the rice, and a slice of toast of to the side. It already had veggies, and chased whatever was left in the plate with a piece of toast at the end of the meal.
Sometimes cooking is a lot like the saying from "HeartBbreak Ridge", "Adapt, Improvise and Overcome".

trollbridge was asking for how to make Bread In A Jar on another thread. Here is the version I use:
6 wide-mouth, pint size canning jars with metal rings and new metal lids
2 1/3 cups sugar
1/3 cup vegetable shortening
4 eggs
1/3 cup water
2 cups fruit (see variation below)
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. cloves (or nutmeg)
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/3 to 1 cup raisins or nuts (dredge in some of the flour)
Sterilize jars, lids and rings (according to manufacturer's directions) in boiling water. Grease the inside, but not the rims, of 6 jars.
To Make Batter
Cream together the sugar and shortening. Beat in the eggs and water. Add the fruit. Sift together the flour, cloves (or nutmeg), cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to the batter. If desired, add raisins and nuts and mix. Bake as directed below.
Variations
You may choose from this list, or combine, or come up with your own, as long as you do not exceed 2 cups:
2 cups grated apple
2 cups shredded carrot
2 cups mashed banana
1 1/2 cups applesauce and 1/4 cup pineapple
1 cup canned cranberries
1 cup grated zucchini
To Bake
Prepare the quick bread batter. Pour into the prepared jars 1 full measured cup of batter. DO NOT be tempted to use more than 1 cup of batter, even if you have just a "smidgen" of batter left over; the cake will overflow the jar and will not seal.
Place open jars evenly spaced apart for browning on a cookie sheet. Place in preheated 325 degree oven. Bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Remove jars one at a time, using 2 pot holders (the jars are very hot). Leave the other jars in the oven, but work quickly. Wipe the rim top. Place the metal disc top in place, then twist on screw ring to secure. You will hear it seal with a "ping" sound quite fast. Open the oven, take out one more jar and repeat.
When a bread occasionally rises above the rim of the jar, take a spoon and press it gently down into the jar so the top does not touch the lid. To remove the bread from the jar, run a spatula or knife around the edges. Keep the bread refrigerated and it should last unopened for months.
