Also assume that it is a wet, cool day for a shoot.

Something must be wrong.  I'm NEVER in the majority, yet biscuits and gravy and roast means I am...this time.

I have a 2-gal cast iron "bean pot" that I prefer to cook chili in but Dutch ovens are good too and probably better if you plan to add corn bread dumplings to the top. 



I am a little surprised by the votes for a roast but that is why I asked.  Thank you all for voting.

We are trying to make our posse a little more social such as adding food to the shoots and maybe a Christmas party.

I like the dumpling idea.

2cps fine cornmeal
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg

1 1/2 cp low fat or fat free cultured buttermilk
1/4 cp unsweetened applesauce
1 Tbsp honey

This is my "healthy cornbread" recipe.  The applesauce replaces the usual oil, cracklins, butter, or lard and still keeps it moist.  Mix the dry engredients and egg with a fork then stir in the rest just before baking since they acidic and will react quickly with the baking soda & powder.  Usually I bake in an iron skillet 20min at 400F but you can cut it in half (use the whole egg though) as dumplings.

Don't worry, the butter and lard ain't near as bad as the health food Nazi's have been telling us for years, lack of exercise and the fake, un-natural junk they've been trying to feed us instead,  all these years are just as bad and often even worse.  Don't even get me started on Canola oil, the biggest food farce of the 20th Century. >:(

I prefer he pot roast, but my real favorite is a chicken fried steak, & that roast-roast would make a mess of 'em.

When its wet and cold one wants sloppy food that is easy to just plop in a bowl and eat. I vote for a jambalaya / beans and beef type dish. Cornbread is great but breaks up too easy. Just tear off a hunk of french/italian like bread to go with the sloppy dish.

But the corn bread is easier to make and takes less time that the other bread.

My favorite cold weather one pot dish comes from the Morgan and Williams side of the family (Welsh):

Cawl Stew made with bacon, but is also ok if you add venison, lamb, or beef.

I made some for my son's grade school class one winter when they had a "family tree recipe" or something day and it was the only dish that was wiped out.  An approximate recipe off the top of my head would be:

Bacon
Swede or 2 white turnips
Parsnip
Few leeks
Onion
Potatoes
Bay leaf
Beef broth
Small-medium cabbage

If you add beef, omit the broth or use water and some lighter broth.  .

Only 21 have taken this survey to date.  I voted for the cobbler and stew,  I have a nice pack of venison  and lots of wild berries in the freezer.  Was thinking what to shove down the pie hole tonight,  it will be ready about six.  Stop by and stake out a spot.

Jake's Jambalaya:

One dish I make that brings the neighbors running with spoon and plate ... Enjoy! A bit of voodoo and experience makes it perfect.

Chicken (1-2 lbs or so)
Sausage (Italian, Andouille , or Kielbasa)
Onion (2-4 depending on taste and size)
Tomato (Fresh or canned w/o Salt) A large can or 4-5 fresh
Garlic (Fresh) As much as you like
Celery (Whole bundle with leaves)
Brown Rice (Whole box)
Louisiana Hot sauce (to taste)
Cajun Spice (if you have it and want to add some, not necessary)

In your dutch oven, cook the chicken, sausage, onion, garlic and celery with some olive oil.
When done, add tomato rice and whatever water the box calls for (then add a little extra water for good measure) it bakes off
Put a lid on the whole thing and toss in an oven for a couple of hours at 375.

Keep an eye on it all and when the rice is cooked, you are all good.
