A Venison n Cheesy Grits Breakfast on the Fire

[cowgirl]

Went camping this week.. I like to make shrimp and grits on the fire but decided to cook up some of the whitetail venison from rifle season.

Some of the cubed meat...

Getting the fire going in the tractor rim...

used my regular shrimp and grit recipe.. peppers, scallions, garlic and conecuh..

Started heating water in my grit pot..

Seasoned and floured my venison ...

Fried the venison cubes while the grits did their thing...

started the conecuh... I like to get some color on the sausage before adding to the veggies..

added the peppers, onions and garlic to the sausage...while the venison kept warm on the side...

added the milk and cheese to the grits and let them hang out on the low heat end of the fire..

made my sauce... flour, beef stock and seasonings..

Kept the venison separate, I wanted it to be crisp on the outside and pink in the center...
These were addicting. Like popcorn!

Breakfast was ready..

I topped my cheesy grits with the conecuh and sauce, then added a few fried venison tips, crisp bacon and called er good.

I love shrimp and grits but this was pretty danged nice for a change. Will make it again.

It was a nice week of camping. Hope to go back soon!

Thanks for looking!

Super jealous!

My cousin doesn't hunt deer as much as I like to eat it, so I don't get to eat it too often.
