It's a Cowboy Casserole because the cast iron skillet can be placed on the campfire.
I make the same thing but we call it shipwreck
As to why it's called "cowboy casserole," not sure exactly. But presumably, it's because it's the type of simple meal one imagines that a cowboy would fry up in a pan over a camp fire:
Throw in some meat, some chopped vegetables, chopped potatoes, some beans [a very "western"/"southwestern" US type food, also as a dried item probably something fairly non-perishable that could be packed along on expeditions without spoilage], maybe some corn or chopped carrots, some spices, a bit of cheese to flavor it up if they had some. Very basic staple foods, thrown together and fried up in a skillet over a fire. Nothing super complicated. Just an easy salt-of-the-earth skillet fry-up one could see a cowboy cooking at night over a camp fire, or whatnot. [Whether or not they ever *actually* did is perhaps another question…]
Camping foods… Hmm… Good question. Breakfast, probably pancakes, either in a skillet over the fire or in a pan over a propane stove. Or cereal, which is easy…
Dinner: burgers or hot dogs, grilled in skillet over the fire [or roasted on a stick over the fire, in the case of hot dogs], if your site has a fire pit with a grill top… Possibly a pot of chili on its own and/or for chili dogs. Lunches are often sandwiches (deli meat, cheese slices, green leaf lettuce, sliced tomatoes, one either sliced bread or bagels or something). Simple to slap together… Will often bring along fruit and other snacks like potato chips or tortilla chips ["crisps" to you UK-ers? ^_^ ].
Often we'll go find some local diner or something and/or some local tourist attraction, if there's one nearby, for one day's lunch… But likely the rest of the time it'll be stuff we make on-site at the campground.
if you have enough room, people in Appalachia will grow a garden, and maybe a small chicken coup if it's lawful in small towns. remember excess sweet corn can be turned into alcohol. as far as camping get a foldable grill out, dig a somewhat shallow hole to catch the embers, add grill charcol, and grill steaks, hot dogs, large sausages, or soups. the hoecake i grew up with is southern biscuit dough that you spread out and bake.
Cast Iron is VERY forgiving when making any type of hash. ( bubble and squeak ) . It’s versatile , you use it to cook over open flame at a campfire, on a grill on a stove top ( gas or electric) and even in the oven!
It's sad that people throw shade on Kent Rollins for being religious and a conservative. Maybe if people took time to think about the people that grow their food build their cars teach their kids and fight their wars and protect us domestically they might reevaluate their perceptions. As us country folks say "it takes all kinds.".
The reason she is cooking on that stove is because her stove is out of the range of her camera.
I have watched Hillbilly Kitchen in the past. She does a lot of comfort foods and such. She has made some "takes me back to when…" desserts as well. It is pretty typical to use a bit of sugar with canned tomatoes and even in spaghetti sauce or when making sauce with tomatoes that are not sweet, to tone down that acidic taste. My Great Grandmother used to serve stewed tomatoes as a vegetable all the time but I did not like them because she added quite a bit of sugar and some broken up pieces of bread which made it something like a pudding texture. I ate them because I was taught not to complain about what people feed you so I sucked it up and hoped that next time she would not make it but it was her "speciality" I think. Ground beef is commonly called hamburger or hamburger meat here in the US. If I want a specific type I will usually address it as ground chuck, my usual go-to (20-80 fat ratio), ground round (30-70) or ground sirloin (10-90) depending on where you live. Hamburgers are called hamburgers because they are made from hamburger meat, not the other way around though the term hamburger may have its origins in Germany. People in the rural areas of the US do grow their own vegetables and have fruit trees, berry bushes, etc. It is becoming more popular to have gardens in the cities as well but houses in the US tend to have larger yards that in cities in the UK and Europe and most have an area where you could grow if you wished. When I was a child, back in the 1950s-60s, we always had a big garden as did our neighbors and always had fruit and nut trees in the yards as well. It is legal to have chickens (up to 10 usually) in most cities in the US so many people keep chickens, ducks or geese for their eggs. Some cities even allow for one or two goats in the yards generally with a size requirement for the property. We could keep goats on a 1/4 acre when I was young. The US kind of considers itself a farm country for the most part and all states certainly have their farms. Even here in Albuquerque we have some very large farms, organic farms and orchards which is sort of strange since so much of the state has a lot of open land. Casseroles really are a throw it together. "Cowboy" in the casserole is probably because it is made with things that would have been cooked on the trail, where you are feeding a lot of people from one pot. I am guessing that on the trail, you would be soaking dried meat and adding that to the pot since refrigeration is not something you would have n the trail. I do like canned potatoes fried in bacon grease with onions and peppers for breakfast with my bacon and eggs. Hmmm…my favorite camping meal. Well, if I have a way to keep meat cold, I love to cook a chuck roast with onions, potatoes and carrots as well as a few spices. I wrap it up tightly in a couple of layers of foil, with a bit of water or can tomatoes with juice and bury it in the coals. If I brought a cast Iron frying pan, I will set it in that to protect the bottom, before burying it, if not just buried in the coals from the morning fire. Then it is time to take a nice long hike or go to the lake or whatever is available at the at particular camp area for a few hours of recreation. When we get back to camp, dinner will be ready and of course, we will be hungry. I will use dehydrated food a lot when camping and add a can of tuna or whatever to make a single pot meal. Everything tastes good when you are camping.
Well when we think of Cowboys, we think beef and beans. So the western version would probably have hot peppers, chili sauce and could be prepared outside. Yes, I like the Hillbilly Kitchen reactions.
She passed away? I think the reason it's called hillbilly casserole is because it is cooked in a cast iron skillet. It can go on the stove, in the oven and over a campfire. Just saying. Looked good. Did you see the hot roast beef sandwich I let you know about? I'm 68 and have cooked a lot of food. LoL
Don't know the history of the phrase 'minced meant' but the number on ethnicity in USA is people of German decent. And when they brought that cut with them the Americans began to call it the Hamburg cut. As in Hamburg Germany. So it became shortened to Hamburger.
Have you thought about checking out Joel hansen yet? Been waiting on that reaction!
I’ve made this before and I love it! Now I have one for you to fix ! You will need one big bag of nacho cheese Doritos, one can of cream of mushroom soup, one diced onion, one can of rotel ,one teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, one bag of shredded cheese, one 16 oz. Sour cream, one can of sliced black olives, one 16 0z of diced tomatoes one pound of ground beef , brown the ground beef/ minced beef add the diced onions ,garlic powder, salt and black pepper and cook until brown , drain off the
excess fat then add the mushroom soup, and heat until heat until it comes to a simmer take off the burner and let cool a bit , take the Doritos and crush them and pour into a casserole pan and then put the beef mixture over the crushed Doritos chips then add the shredded cheesed on top of mixture and bake at 350 degrees until cheese is melted then you can add sour cream, diced tomatoes, and black olives . Enjoy
How often people grow their own food is usually based on how far they are from a city. The further out you get the bigger the plot of land your house will end up on, and once it gets to a certain size its a waste not to grow your own. But even in suburbs close to a city gowning a little bit is pretty common, tomatoes and peppers in my area grow fairly easy so those are gown often, some squash as well.
The U.S. is so big that different regions have different soils which causes vegetables to vary slightly in taste. It is better to use locally grown vegetables if possible. A lot of towns have farmers markets. This also helps the local economy as well.
The sugar will take the tinned taste out of the tomatoes
While the woman in the videos has since passed away, Great Depression Cooking was a great channel while Clara was alive. She'd tell you a bit of what folks went through back then and then cook food from that era the only way an American grandma could.
I love Hillbilly Kitchen. She does old time recipes!
