You’ve never seen backpacking recipes like this

[@kennethwyatt1089]

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.

[@ChefCorso]

cheers Kenneth! that's what it's all about!

[@edtobin4657]

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

[@brontewood]

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

[@michellesharpe6159]

Unbelievable how organized that spice drawer is. . .

[@joanrusche6918]

Love this! I cook meals on the trail and my friends tell me they eat better on the trail with me than they do at home. I’m happy to gain some new ideas from this video.

[@Olyphoto7]

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

[@bendennis8773]

Chef Corso is awesome. Been watching him for years.

[@ecoheliguy]

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 🤤

[@MikeSalesTheTwispAngler]

How did you bring ground beef? 😀

[@ecoheliguy]

@ as mentioned above, pan fried, dehydrated, then into a ziplock bag

[@KarlaStorm]

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!!!

[@tomlovesdiy]

I have 2 favorite DIY meals. 1) ingredients, ramen, frozen peas, green onion chunks, peanut butter, garlic powder, onion powder, soy sauce, pouch chicken, some hot sauce or red pepper flakes. Garnish with chopped peanuts. 2) 1/2 pouch of Idahoan garlic mashed potatoes, a few pieces of homemade beef jerky (diced), frozen peas and carrots, brown gravy mix, garlic and onion powder.

[@phasmata3813]

Gotta say that I'm a little skeptical of the nutritional superiority of a pot of Funyuns + jerky to that of something like Good to Go, Farm to Summit, Packit Gourmet, Pinnacle. Economical superiority for sure, though.

[@ChefCorso]

Indeed, Funyuns are Fun, but maybe the best on the nutrient scale. I welcome you got check our recipe bank for other options that can work for you that are drastically lower in salt and preservative than packaged meals options.

[@sherrycook7043]

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.

[@YTusercomment]

I'm a big believer in trying simply made, yet coked, backpacking meals. I've been experimenting with making my own dehydrated meals...this will be a great compliment to elevate the quality of my backpacking meals. Expands your back country culinary horizons...other than "Ramen this, and Ramen that..."

[@chemistryflavored]

I’m so excited to try these! I am a big fan of non prepackaged meals more for cost reasons and I often dehydrate my own meals but I also love quick and easy. Thanks for sharing this!

[@RedCatt423]

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

[@zachscherpa944]

Chef Corso! I have all of his books. They are great!!

[@fightforfreedomneversurren8610]

I just started taking my kids backpacking and they would love the strawberry Twinkies idea.

[@ChefCorso]

so many great recipes to cook up with your kiddos!

[@bbeckwith]

Congrats on Chef Corso on his new show

[@ThisguyLeftthechat]

Whenever i go backpacking i like to have grilled meat first night and later days some rice with pesto or some creamy pasta. That way i eat heavier stuff im the beginning of the trip. I really like having real dinner

[@masonjohnson8480]

The video I didn’t know I needed!!!

[@anninwhack1998]

Love Chef Corso! I use his videos for ideas bc most dehydrated meals are too salty for me or just not appetizing. Thx for a great video and sharing recipes!

[@JarradShaw]

Yes, Chef Corso!!! Bout time he is back!

[@Obi-Wan_Pierogi]

I love this! I'm in Poland, so some items aren't readily available, but it is good inspiration I buy these little packets that are meant to make a cup of soup. I used them as a base to flavour some freeze dried soy nuggets, once they've soaked a bit, I add more water to some groats and mix it all together. It's a good lunch.

[@jasonmcspadden5590]

Dan, this was a great episode! I didn't know about Chef Corso before this. Thank you.

[@rungavagairun]

I'm happy that there are people who cook like this in the backcountry, and if someone else was cooking this stuff for me, I'm sure I would enjoy it, but there's no way I'm pissing around with all that those ingredients and steps at camp. I carry a container of creole seasoning to add a little zip to the freeze dried meals that lack flavor, and I might carry an apple on day one of a multi day trip, but that's about as far as I'm willing to go.

[@Big_Shonk]

We love chef Corso! More collabs pls

[@cantstartafire]

Outstanding! Love this guy!

[@VelcorHF]

I’m glad he’s back.

[@pyronymph-868]

I like cheddar shreds and butter in my grits.

[@SteveKuo]

Where can we find Chef Corso's knife?

[@maureen7653]

This was so interesting; very creative and fun!

[@alexkevhikes]

This video feels like the format of a day time television show lol.

[@ChefCorso]

back to you for the weather Jim!

[@MalinaCC]

Definitely gonna try the strawberry shortcake recipe!

[@wylde-lyfe]

Love this guy!! During my >50 years outdoors, I've tried a bunch of ready made stuff and make from scratch stuff. I prefer a mix of fresh/ scratch stuff, lots of possibilities if you simply use your imagination! Hope he puts out at least an e-book if he hasn't already done so. There's not a lot of great dish ideas out there using easy to find/ simple ingredients. It would be good to find nutritional info to match the dishes (caloric bang per ingredients), prep needs, etc.

[@wylde-lyfe]

Found, bought his books!!

[@ChefCorso]

Cheers Wylde! Welcome aboard

[@keithmeyers1720]

Been doin your strawberry shortcake all summer, people love it. NOW I gotta try roasting Twinkies, can't wait!

[@jamesmccreery250]

I have all the ingredients for this stuff at home already! only small draw back might be clean up.

[@fiftyfive70]

Ok. I am going to try that strawberry shortcake today!

[@lennynichols6809]

I like to put "tins" of shredded beef jerky in my backpacking grits. I like the smoked flavor from the jerky in the grits. "Tins" are plastic and I find them in convenience stores. It looks like chewing tobacco tins.

[@a.ramosakadrumgrl6677]

I’ve seen many of Chef Corso’s videos and have looked for recipes that are online.

[@1Grumpymonk]

All of these looked amazing. The breakfast and the stew I'm definitely going to try. I tend to just snack for lunch. Maybe the roasted twinkie 🤷

[@pyronymph-868]

Toasted Starburst are amazing...

[@СергейЧернышев-б6щ]

Roasting a twinkie sounds like an inuendo. "Come over here, babe, and roast my twinkie!"

[@HiItsme-zu1yz]

As soon as Dan's voice went three octaves higher, "omg, this is so good, no really, no it really is.." it became Kelly Clarkson goes exploring, half expecting Rupal to show up at the end.

[@ChefCorso]

whatever gets you outdoors😆

[@jimonthecoast3234]

I've never gone backpacking, but I have gone tent camping.. -- we'd have Fresh trout, caught that mornign, a Tritip, Spagetting and meat sauce, all cooked on a campstove ( tritip was roasting in foil buried into hot coals from the monring fire, )

[@davidcooper8390]

I am definitely going to try the PB&J grits.

[@stattravels8109]

This video is awesome

[@phasmata3813]

Opening the Funyun bag at the bottom, you monster.

[@georgesolanakis8264]

Remy and Alfredo Linguini at its finest! 😅 Dan you complete me! 🥰

[@KathyColorado1]

I agree, cilantro is gross. This was a great video. I have to eat gluten free so I will need to adjust all of these recipes . Thank you for sharing.

[@cwoollard1]

What is that knife? I want one!

[@james6420]

Great video! By chance, do you have a link to that knife? I need that in my life!

[@AsheeBree]

would love to see @HomemadeWanderlust try some of these out or do a collab with Corso with some different recipes

[@Jorjito1989GDios]

I like this video for sure!!😂

[@user-fn2rt6lb1o]

It just seems like packaged meals with extra steps… Like yeah you control what’s going in….but if what’s going in is beef jerky, mustard packets, and milk powder, why not just simplify the process by buying an already packaged meal. The only reason I can think of is that you save money

[@phasmata3813]

@@user-fn2rt6lb1o Agreed. If not for how cheap it can be, it just looks like cooking for cooking's sake.

[@ChefCorso]

we have over 300 recipes for you to chose from and I'm sure you'll find your new favorite. The few minutes to plan a great meal plan go a long way to a memorable, satisfying trip.

[@Colby168]

I’m testing this twinkie thing tonight!

[@speedboard.]

Do you have a link to that knife?

[@hyppievanman]

Search “Outdoor eats knife” on google, first link.

[@orlandomartinez4031]

just like making spreads iykyk

[@mikerice1599]

I'm wondering if his cooking style would require to carry more fuel for a longer (4-6 day) trip?

[@ChefCorso]

It all depends on your meal plan and elevation. Many of our recipes require only a few minutes of cook time.

[@brentcornilsen7001]

I was wondering when you would release a video YEAH😊

[@user-xe2im5ff1g]

Fun! 🙏♥️🇺🇸👍💯

[@mercantilehousing]

wait that breakfast is genius because I HATE oatmeal and love cornbread.... Gonna try this tomorrow

[@asmith7876]

Me too!

[@elliemay3147]

it's good with bacon and cheese too!

[@ChefCorso]

grits/jiffy are so versatile. Italian, Mexican, breakfast, dessert. So good!

[@jamescull6325]

Coconut milk powder is my secret oatmeal ingredient.

[@kaiminalualan7138]

What about using a freeze drier

[@asmith7876]

I hear they're awesome, if you have $4000 to spare.

[@kevinalvarez7389]

You should have asked him if he can do outdoor cheese curds

[@Sugar_bug]

Cool video

[@jumpingjbug]

I am inspired.

[@ryanhooper4660]

I already bought the book before I got to the end.... next time

[@traaaaan]

I don't buy juice shots so I'll stick to conventional means for packing oil lol

[@MikeSalesTheTwispAngler]

There's no way to do all that - and I've tried. There's no way to cook for yourself while doing all that. And oh yes, that's what I'm saying - cooking for one person on hike a long ways just ends in disappointment. 😀

[@scottweitzenhoffer2575]

I would like to know more about Chef Corso's knife.

[@JohannesWOW]

It's not a giveaway if you have to purchase something...... let alone having to buy 2 of something and only the first 20 that do.

[@onesky8647]

Somehow I imagined cooking with fresh ingredients differently. I blame Dan's pantry.😅

[@Justuravgolfer]

sooooo.... what knife was that?

[@feanythmayosh5525]

Check out Amanda Zito. She made an awesome motorcycle camping cookbook which can also be used by backpackers.

[@jhaas68865]

Has Chef ever been in prison? Some of those meals remind me of the videos of hey bunky I am going to make x you think you want some? Very creative meals with little prep and ingredients required.

[@mikerice1599]

The food looks really cool but you're not going ultralight and doing this 😀

[@ChefCorso]

Hey Mike, I welcome you to check out our recipe bank. We have many recipes and a whole cookbook for Fresh-Ultralight. Recipes ranging from 2-6 oz per serving. You can eat well on the trail, no matter the style of trip.

[@InVinoVeritas.]

Nuts & m&m's & you'll survive.

[@DanielBelliveau-y5x]

I smoked dope for over 20 years and you'd be surprised what a stoner can come up with when he's got the munchies , I'm no chef but I've been cooking like that for years ! ! !

[@cwoollard1]

Erm... Grits???? Sorry British! Haven't Googled it yet!

[@TulaJoJohnsonSullivan]

Polenta

[@WormBurger]

Grits are a classic American breakfast made from ground corn. They’re kind of like porridge but made with corn instead of oats. They’re creamy and mild in flavor, and you can dress them up however you like-maybe with butter, cheese, or even bacon or shrimp if you want something savory. Imagine a smoother version of polenta that can be either sweet or savory, depending on your mood.

[@TulaJoJohnsonSullivan]

@WormBurger not just for breakfast. Grits are a staple in most homes in the South. Any meal. I love bacon, cheese grits with fish and hush puppies.

[@invoice9982]

Why did he have to come out with this video the day before I’m going on a trip….

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

... Oh yeah Gas Station Grits ,,, yummm....

[@ittotaq]

chapters do not exist in this video!

[@euphonek]

Should have included the calories...

[@brentcornilsen7001]

Mocha bocha

[@jzubs]

known him for 4 years and didnt know about his background?

[@wild-radio7373]

This is ridiculous. We have reached the outer limit.

[@wild-radio7373]

"Grits" nope. High upon Mt stupid where they have yet to discover the bulk bin section of the winCo. Read that ol' ingredients list for me would ya? Getouttahere

[@wild-radio7373]

Those little single serving peanut butter packets are #%^*% Then, this dude hypes the morality of reusing a Talenti jar? Just buy a god forsaken tub of peanut butter . Blue eyed baby jebus zombie- help me with my patience...

[@wild-radio7373]

People know that those sauce packets Expire? My bro says nothing.

[@drummindreams]

Does Gordon Ramsay even backpack tho??

[@onduhrhoads]

Cool, cancer and diabetes

[@rafaeldiegonavarro]

To many carbs are bad ! I like a balance of fat carbs and protein. Jesus you guys eating nothing but carbs 🤮

[@sheilasunshine9173]

Calm down🙄 for most people it’s just a few days on trail and you don’t have to worry about other people- it’s amazing really- we call it hiking our own hike

[@EthanDurant]

yeah it's backpacking food, they make that pretty clear. Your body needs extra carbohydrates when working out excessively.

[@ChefCorso]

Check out or recipe bank for lower carb options!

[@LionessHiker]

Sugar is poison. ☠️

[@rkatrails]

YES! For sure!

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

So is toast.

[@LionessHiker]

@ true

[@MrJuzt1n]

Tasty poison though

[@bridgetrunshikessurfs]

I love some sugar especially for long runs out on the trails. We call it fuel in the ultra community 😂

Processed food is so unhealthy. Can you do this with healthy food choices and low carb?

Not a chef
