Dutch Oven Potatoes
ReplyDelete1 lb bacon
2 lbs onions
5 lbs potatoes
Salt & pepper
Slice bacon into one inch squares and cook in hot oven. Add sliced onions to bacon. When onions are slightly soft, add sliced potatoes, peeled or not. Bake for about 30-40 minutes, stirring once (stirring too often will make potatoes mushy). Salt and pepper to taste and garnish with shredded cheddar cheese.

ReplyDeletefavorite dutch oven recipe is cowboy chili with dumplings. I use chuck steak, cubed and ground beef, black beans, pink beans and chili seasoning. diced tomatoes, tomato paste and onions and garlic. I let it simmer for a couple hours then I use bisquick to make the dumplings, spooning them on top of the chili, cover and wait a few minutes and it is done.
ReplyDeletecamping tip- pack everything in individual bags or lidded containers and then pack those in a large lidded bin. No more rummaging, everything stays clean and dry.

1 lb cheddar cheese
12 eggs
1 qt milk
1-1/2 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp salt
Line a 12" dutch oven with heavy duty aluminum foil. (optional)
Spread butter all over the foil.
Tear bread into pieces.
Break sausage into pieces.
Grate cheese.
In a bowl, beat eggs, milk, dry mustard, and salt.
Layer the bread, sausage, cheese, eggs into the D.O.

deb55106(at)gmail(dot)com
Check and cook another 10-15 minutes until cheese forms a light-brown crust on top of cooked eggs.
My camping tip~Take along some dryer lint.
ReplyDeleteEvery good camper has some. Every good campfire needs some.
Nothing works better at starting a campfire from scratch than some good old fashioned clothes dryer lint! It's better than twigs. Better than wood chips. Better than shreds of paper. It's the cheapest, quickest way to start a fire!

Crusty Peach Cobbler
ReplyDelete8 c Fresh peaches; sliced
2 c Sugar
2 To 4 tb all-purpose flour
1/2 ts Ground nutmeg
1 ts Vanilla extract
1/3 c Butter or margarine
Pastry for double-crust pie
Vanilla ice cream
Combine peaches, sugar, flour, and nutmeg in a Dutch oven; set aside until syrup forms. Bring peach mixture to a boil; reduce heat to low, and cook 10 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat; add vanilla and butter, stirring until butter melts. Roll half of pastry to 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface; cut into an 8-inch square. Spoon half of peaches into a lightly buttered 8-inch square pan; top with pastry square. Bake at 475 degrees for 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Spoon remaining peaches over baked pastry square. Roll remaining pastry to 1/8-inch thickness, and cut into 1-inch strips; arrange in lattice design over peaches. Bake an additional 15 to 18 minutes or until browned. Spoon into serving bowls, and top each with a scoop of ice cream. Yield: 8 servings.
The next time you go camping bring extra trashbags with you that you can carry when you go hiking or to the lake. Might end up saving an animal or to by removing trash.
ReplyDeleteCamping tip- Check the weather before you go so you can pack the appropriate clothing!

Last year we did rolls in the dutch oven and they turned out so great! You just take Rhodes rolls and let them thaw. Before they raise roll them out in a snake and dip them in butter and parmesan cheese. Then you wind them around end to end in the bottom of the dutch oven and let them raise. Then you cook them. They are so yummy and easy to make!

Camping tip: use an old towel as a door mat for wiping off feet before entering the tent.
ReplyDeletejswaks at gmail dot com
Prep Time: 15 minutes
ReplyDeleteTotal Time: 1 hour, 45 minutes
Servings: 4-6
Ingredients:
1 whole chicken, cut up
1 cup flour
salt and pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon rosemary
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/4 cup oil
1 can condensed soup, celery or mushroom
Preparation:
Cut up chicken into breasts, legs, thighs, wings and the back. Use the gizzards also. Mix flour with the spices, salt and pepper. Heat oil in Dutch oven. Coat chicken with flour mixture and fry in oil until slightly browned. Drain the leftover oil from the Dutch oven. Arrange all the chicken in the Dutch oven with largest pieces near the bottom and side. Cover with the can of condensed soup of your choice. Cover with lid and simmer over low heat for about one hour. If using hot coals, ensure that there are enough to keep the Dutch oven hot. When done remove chicken from the Dutch oven and use some of the leftover juices for a gravy.

3 Minute Pizza Recipe
ReplyDeleteIngredients
1 pkg. pita bread
1 can spaghetti sauce
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1 pkg. sliced pepperoni
Any other toppings as desired
Cut pita in half and spoon spaghetti sauce into pocket spreading evenly. Add mozzarella and pepperoni and any other "toppings" you wish.
Wrap in heavy duty foil and place in coals. Cook for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. (You just want it to get warm and to melt the cheese. For really hot coals this is plenty of time.)
