Chef Corso just recruited another hiker. My grandson, who’s an indoor kid addicted to tv/video games, loves cornbread (Jiffy). I make it for him every time he comes over. After watching this video, I pulled out my canister stove and went out on the patio and made us some peanut butter and jelly grits. After his first bite, he insisted that we go camping so we could cook this in the forest. Thanks for helping me get him off the couch.

I would love to see the chef's food bag for a 4 day hike

After 20+ years of backpacking I think I have things figured out, but once in a while you drop a game changer of a video. Thanks Dan

Chef Corso - you need your own show! I want to binge watch these backpacking recipes!!

[isabelledrolet]

You know you've been following a channel for a while when Dan's referencing a 4-year old video and you remember watching it then! Always a pleasure hearing from Chef Corso.

Yes! I always bring coconut powder to add to oatmeal, ramen, rice dishes, protein powder drinks, or meal replacement powders (Soylent chocolate is the best), and I recently added it to Backpacker Pantry Pad Thai which really elevated the flavour profile! Coconut rice is great with most dishes. I'm sure you can add it to desserts but I'm not a dessert person. I also love carrying crispy onions as those are lightweight and can be added to a ton of dishes for flavour and texture.

Chef Corso is certainly introducing a backpacking paradigm shift to camp cookery! I love the ingenuity he brings to the camp table. I went to his website and was overwhelmed by all the awesome recipes. Thank you both for testing out a few of these recipes. I mostly do Mountain House Freeze-Dried meals but would like to spice up our backpacking adventures with more interesting and tasty meal choices. 🥰

As a chef myself, I applaud you for doing this. I have done similar recipes earlier in my backpacking journeys, mostly to save $$. Sara Lee boxed, no bake cheesecake was one of my favorites if snow is available.

Also powered butter is a game changer. I buy in bulk cans.

Today’s small batch freeze dried purveyors make great meals and the weight and convenience is hard to beat for ultralight backpacking.

I'm a food guy who dables and hiking and this video speaks to my soul. Thanks for introducing me to this guy.

Chef Corso rocks! I´ve been following him for a while. He inspires me for my camper van adventures

Last weekend I went backpacking in Big Bend and used 3 of Chef Corso’s recipes and I was the envy of my friends because they were fabulous!!!

[sherrycook]

Chef Corso!!! My favorite. Thanks for having him on. It would be fun to see the two of you take a hike and cook along the way.

Food is one of the most enjoyable things when camping....this Chef Corso is legit, great ideas... great to prepackage all of this in a ziploc. Instant potatoes, minute rice is great staples to build on... beef jerky and instant potatoes and cheese and butter is the bomb! so good, and cheaper than freeze dried.

Here is my decades old favorite, needs a slight bit of home prep

1) Pan fry diced onion until soft and brown, add Taco seasonings of choice, bloom spices for a moment, add ground beef and cook until well browned.

2) Set oven to lowest setting 65-75c (150-170F), dehydrate setting or use a dehydrator. Empty one full back of frozen diced veggie (carrots, peas, corn, string beans) onto a tray. Spread cooked ground beef mixture on a separate tray. Dehydrate for 8 hours.

4) Bag veggies, and beef mixture separately in ziplock, bring along a pack of instant mashed potatoes. And seasoning of choice (hot sauce, sriracha, butter, paprika)

5) In the field place beef mixture in the button of a pot or bowl, layer vegetable mixture on top next, add instant mashed potatoes onto last. Add 2x amount of boiling water on top (gently to not disturb layers) let sit and insulate.

6) add seasoning of choice and enjoy your Shepherd’s Pie

🤤

I love to cook (in a real kitchen) but when it comes to backpacking, I’m a simple gal and lean toward Dan with freeze-dried meals (preferring my favorite cottage gourmet brands which are great quality but expensive). I almost scrolled on by this video, but I gotta say, as I watched it, my mouth watered and I was inspired to go backpacking or camping to try some of Chef Corso’s recipes!!Thanks for this awesome video!! ❤ I’d love for him to come raid my well-stocked pantry and create some easy BP dishes with stuff I tend to leave behind!

Unbelievable how organized that spice drawer is. . .

[Olyphoto]

Always nice to see collaboration videos especially when it involves food and people from the PNW!

Chef Corso is awesome. Been watching him for years.

We met Chef Corso at an outdoor expo right before we through hiked the Arizona Trail (with kids, so I was super stressed about the food!) We ended up buying a freeze dryer to convert his ideas to more shelf-stable options we could mail to ourselves and had to pack 2-3 months in advance of eating it. And he was right: home freeze-dried foods taste SO MUCH BETTER than commercial options. Our youngest still prefers "gas station foods" like EZ Mac, but our teens enjoyed amazing meals like homemade tikka masala and breakfast tacos for 3 months in the middle of the Arizona desert days away from civilization. While through hiking is a very different beast for food, meeting Chef and adapting his ideas really helped boost our trail morale!

This video is much better structured version of the first one. Nice job!
