Dutch Oven Venison & Apple BBQ Camp Beans Recipe

A Dutch oven over an open fire is the perfect way to cook this hearty bean dish. You can serve it on the side, but with smoked sausage and ground venison, it makes a pretty good meal on its own. Put them on at lunch, and they will be ready when everyone comes rolling back into camp ready for dinner that evening.
