Campfire Beans

I think my most favorite campfire food is really true "Campfire Beans". I make them with whatever is in the cooler starting with the bacon drippings from breakfast, then add onions and other veggies ...toss in the DRY beans (if they have been soaked great, but it does not matter). This is done in a cast iron pot, nestled in the coals...I put in whatever meat is available...we often have frozen venison, but beef and pork do fine too. Add garlic and any other seasoniong you like...do not be afraid of a pinch of cinnamon.... keep adding liquid...beer, wine, water ...a few bullion cubes help...chopped celery, diced tomatoes (this is a great way to use the veggies that get soft in the cooler).
