Scott — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 20:21:38 +0000

Like I've said before, you can cook almost anything in a Dutch oven. Here are two variations on an enchilada casserole that are easy and will give you an opportunity to try out some Mexican fare in the Dutch oven. They will be popular at your next cookout.

Enchilada Casserole

1 large onion chopped

2 lbs ground beef

1 10 oz can tomato soup

2 10 oz cans enchilada sauce

12 oz grated cheese

8 flour tortillas

1 cup sour cream

Cook ground beef and onion in the Dutch oven, then remove and place in a large bowl. Stir soup and enchilada sauce into the ground beef mixture. Spoon a 1/4" layer of meat mixture in the Dutch oven. Cover with a layer of tortillas (tear to cover). Cover the tortillas with grated cheese. Repeat layers of meat mixture, tortillas and cheese until all of the mixture is used up. Top with cheese. Put the lid on the oven and place 15 briquets on the lid. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until mixture is bubbling and heated through. Serve with sour cream.

Dutch Oven Enchilada Casserole

2 lbs. ground beef

1 tsp salt

1 large onion, chopped

1 10 oz can tomato soup

2 10 oz cans mild enchilada sauce

1 10 oz can water

6 large corn tortillas, uncooked

2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Add the ground beef, onion, and salt to the Dutch oven and cook until the beef is browned. Add tomato soup, enchilada sauce, and water and simmer together for 5 minutes. Remove ¾ of the mixture and place in bowl. Place 3 corn tortillas on top of the remaining mixture in the oven. Add another layer of the meat mixture on top of the corn tortillas. Sprinkle with ½ of the cheese. Add another layer of the meat mixture. Add 3 more corn tortillas on top of the meat mixture. Add another layer of meat mixture, and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Cover with the lid, add some briquettes to the lid and let simmer for 10-15 minutes.

Dutch Oven Sausage Recipes

Scott — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 04:34:54 +0000

Because sausage is a ground meat, it cooks up easily and quickly in a Dutch oven. It can then be combined with other ingredients to make some tasty and original dishes that will delight your family and guests.

Sausage Balls

1 lb sausage (mild or hot)
1 egg
6 oz grated cheddar cheese
3 cups Bisquik

Mix all ingredients together. Pinch off small pieces and form into balls. Cook 10-15 mins at 350 degrees in a Dutch oven. Makes 6 dozen.

Dutch Oven Sausage Casserole

8 slices of bread
2 pounds of sausage
16 oz grated cheddar cheese
12 eggs
1 qt. milk
1-1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp salt

Heat a 12" Dutch oven and cook the sausage. When done, place in a bowl, wipe out the oven and line it with heavy-duty foil. Lightly grease the foil with butter. Break up bread into the oven. Crumble cooked sausage meat over bread and cover with cheese. In a separate bowl, mix eggs (lightly beaten), milk, dry mustard, and 1 tsp. salt (to taste). Pour the egg mixture over the layered bread-sausage-cheese in the oven, cover, and bake for 35 minutes, checking occasionally.

Enjoy these dishes!

Dutch Oven Chicken

Scott — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 06:09:24 +0000

Cooking chicken in a cast-iron Dutch oven is a method that ensures terrifically moist, succulent results because the heavy lid keeps the steam inside the oven. It also keeps the flavor inside, but because some people don't like the look of steamed meat, here's a trick to make your chicken taste better and look great. Heat some oil or grease in the oven to about 350 degrees by placing the oven over coals. Sear the chicken in the hot oven by turning it until it is browned all over. This will help seal in the juices for better tasting chicken and give it a browned look. Once it's browned, remove the chicken, wipe out the excess grease, and add the chicken and seasonings for the recipe you are planning to cook. You'll find that Dutch oven chicken is juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Yum!

Try some of these Dutch oven chicken recipes:

Door Slammer Chicken

8 chicken breasts
2-8 oz bottles Russian dressing
1-12 oz jar apricot jam
1 pkg. instant onion soup mix

Mix well & pour over chicken in Dutch oven. Bake 1 1/2 hrs. If in oven it should be 350 degrees or use 10 briquettes on bottom & 15 on top of your dutch oven.

from Sue: This is a very easy, delicious Dutch oven chicken recipe.

Dutch Chicken Bake

3 lbs frozen chicken breasts (skinless and boneless)
2 lbs frozen hash browns
1 29 oz can cream of mushroom soup
milk

Layer hash browns and chicken to fill a 12" oven 3/4 full. Mix can of soup and a can of milk together and pour over top of chicken and hash browns and cook for one hour or until chicken is cooked.

from Talons Falconry

Baked Honey Chicken

2 chickens, cut-up
¼ cup butter
1 cup chopped onions
1 tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
½ tsp rosemary
1 T honey for each piece of chicken
1 cup chicken stock
flour

Sprinkle each piece of chicken with flour. Melt butter in Dutch oven and sauté chicken on both sides. Remove chicken and drain on paper towels.

Sauté the onions until golden brown. Add chicken stock. Place chicken in oven on onions, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and rosemary. Drizzle each piece of chicken with honey. Cover and bake at 350 degrees F (10-12 coal under bottom of oven) for about 1 hour. Baste the chicken frequently.

Just Chicken in a Pot

3-4 lb whole frying chicken
1 tsp poultry seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp basil
1/4 tsp pepper

Wash chicken and pat dry. Sprinkle cavity with salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning. Put in Dutch oven and sprinkle with basil. Cover and bake for 4 to 6 hours or until tender.

Dutch Oven Chocolate Turtle Cake – My Best One Yet!

Scott — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 17:44:25 +0000

I've experimented with a Dutch oven Chocolate Turtle Cake a few times, trying different tweaks to get it even better. I made another try over the weekend and loved how it turned out!

To start, I cut a sheet of parchment paper into six or seven long strips and laid them in my Dutch oven, with the ends hanging over the sides. This is a big help in getting the Chocolate Turtle Cake out after it's done.

I then used a German Chocolate Cake mix and followed the mixing directions on the box. I poured a little more than half the batter into the bottom of the Dutch oven. I used a 12" Dutch oven, since that is the smallest I have, but wondered how this would do in a 10" Dutch oven. The cake would be a bit higher.

I set the Dutch oven on 10 coals and put 14 on the top, then cooked this bottom half for about 15 minutes.

While the cake was cooking, I started heating 1 1/2 lbs of caramels with 1 1/4 cups of evaporated milk over medium heat for the caramel sauce. Keep stirring so it doesn't burn.

After 15 minutes, I checked the cake to make sure it was somewhat done on the top. I didn't want the top to collapse as I did the next part, so I used my finger to see if a light depression sprang back a bit. Once it did, I poured one bag of milk chocolate chips over the cake and sprinkled them around so they were evenly distributed. (You could also use semi-sweet chips).

Next I poured half the caramel sauce over the cake and chocolate chips, then the rest of the cake batter over everything.

I cooked the cake for about 30-40 minutes more using the same coals, then checked the cake with a toothpick to see if it came out clean. Warning: if you push it too far down , it hits the chocolate-caramel layer.

Once the cake was done, my wife and I carefully grabbed the ends of the parchment paper strips hanging over the sides, gently lifted the cake out of the Dutch oven, and put it on a large plate. I trimmed the edges of the parchment strips so they didn't show and poured the rest of the caramel sauce over the top. When serving, I slipped the parchment pieces out from underneath. (If you prefer, you can gently flip it over when you remove it from the oven and pull the parchment strips off, then flip it back over and pour on the caramel sauce).

Sprinkle with chopped pecans, serve with ice cream and you have an absolutely delicious Dutch oven cake!

Enjoy!

Getting Started with Dutch Oven Cooking – Easy Dutch Oven Recipes

Scott — Sun, 27 Mar 2011 01:08:18 +0000

After all the things we've talked about in getting started with dutch oven cooking, we are finally ready to cook! In this article I'm going to give you several easy dutch oven recipes, recipes that you can get started with right now. Remember that your dutch oven is very versatile and almost anything you can cook in your kitchen you can also cook in your dutch oven. Some of that will come with experience, so let's get started!

Dutch Oven Cowboy Stew

I think that one of the easy recipes to start with is a soup or stew, something that has a lot of liquid. It's not easy to burn and still tastes great.

There are lots of soup or stew recipes for the dutch oven. One of the easiest is what is called Dutch Oven Cowboy Stew. I don't know what makes it cowboy stew, other than it's made primarily with canned goods, so it an easy recipes for which you don't need a lot of fresh ingredients.

The recipe, along with instructions and pictures is located at Dutch Oven Cowboy Stew. So be sure and check that out. But just to give you a glimpse, you brown some hamburger in your dutch oven (through in a chopped onion if you like), then add a can each of corn, peas, tomatoes, beans, baked beans and tomato soup. I also add some diced potatoes. Some salt and pepper and a bay leaf top it out. You basically cook until the potatoes are done. That's it. I found that my kids love it and is great for leftovers.

Dutch Oven Dump Cobbler

Dutch ovens are famous for desserts, so you'll definitely want to try a dessert in your dutch oven. An easy recipe for desserts is Dutch Oven Dump Cobbler. To make Dutch Oven Dump Cobbler, dump two cans of fruit pie filling, like apple or peach into your dutch oven. On top of that, add sprinkle a white or yellow cake mix. Don't stir it! Sprinkle the top with a couple of teaspoons of cinnamon and then cut 5-6 pats of butter on top of the cake mix. Again, don't stir it (I know you'll be tempted!). Put the dutch oven on top of 6-8 coals, and put 14-16 coals on top. Back for about 30-45 minutes. Rotate the dutch oven clockwise by 90 degrees every 10 minutes and rotate the lid counter-clockwise 90 degrees at the same time (helps eliminate hot spots). Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

Dutch Oven Mountain Man Hash

Dutch Oven Mountain Man Hash is a great breakfast recipe (although breakfast can be great for any meal, right?) See details of this recipe at Mountain Man Hash and a video at Dutch Oven Mountain Man Hash Video. As I say in this article and video, this also makes a great breakfast burrito recipe.

Here are some links to some other recipes that are pretty easy to do:

But don't be afraid to try recipes! There are tons of recipes for dutch ovens and lots of very easy recipes, as well as very gourmet recipes. In a couple more articles, I'll point you to a number of great resources both on the web and in print. You'll find all ranges of recipes for all types of food.

If you have a favorite recipe that would be good for a beginner to start with, I hope you'll share it with us in the comments below!

Dutch Oven Mountain Man Hash Video

Scott — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 14:19:31 +0000

Previously, I wrote about cooking Dutch Oven Mountain Man Hash. I've created a video to show you how I did it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUJYn_U-e50

While I used just four ingredients, bacon, frozen potatoes, eggs, and cheese, in this recipe of Mountain Man Hash, you could substitute ground sausage, or link sausage for the bacon (or have some of each), and you could also add onions, green peppers, mushrooms, or tomatoes to the dish. In any case, it still makes great breakfast burritos and makes a delicious, easy breakfast for a cool camping morning.

Did you know: a medium peach has 1 g of protein, is native to China, and can be either clingstones and freestones, depending on whether the flesh sticks to the stone or not. But the best thing about peaches is that they are delicious and make delicious dessert in the Dutch oven! Dutch oven peach cobbler is an all-time classic.

Lasagna is a great recipe to make in a Dutch oven and here are Dutch oven lasagna recipes for you to try. Tell me which one you like the best.

Note: Cooking time can be reduced by pre-cooking and draining the lasagna noodles.

Dutch Oven Lasagna

1-1/2 lb. lean ground beef
23 oz spaghetti sauce
9 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
3 eggs
2-1/4 cup cottage or ricotta cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
13 lasagna noodles
1-1/2 tsp oregano
1 1/4 cup hot water

Preheat the Dutch oven and brown the ground beef. When done, remove the beef to a large mixing bowl. Add the spaghetti sauce to the beef and mix well. In another bowl, add the cottage or ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese (reserve a few ounces for later), eggs, and oregano, and mix well.

Now create lasagna layers in the Dutch oven in the following order: Break up four lasagna noodles into the bottom of the oven. Spread about 1/3 of the meat mixture over the noodles. Spread 1/2 of the cheese mixture over the meat mixture. Break up five noodles and place over the top of the preceding mixtures. Spread 1/2 of the remaining meat mixture over the noodles. Spread the remaining cheese mixture over the meat mixture. Break up the remaining noodles and place over the cheese mixture. Spread the remaining meat mixture over the noodles.

Pour the hot water all around the edges of the oven. Place the lid on the oven and bake one hour or until done. Check frequently.

This recipe works well with charcoal (12 briquettes on bottom and 12 on top).

Dutch Oven Pork

Scott — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 04:09:32 +0000

These Dutch oven pork chop recipes use center cut pork chops. They are located in the middle of the loin without the tenderloin section. They are very tender but contain little fat so are not considered quite as flavorful and juicy as the rib chops. Center cut chops have a t-shaped bone similar to a t-bone steak.

Dutch Oven Pork Chops and Garden Vegetables

6 (1" thick) center cut pork chops
3 tbs butter, melted
3 carrots, cut 1/2" slices
1 tsp basil
6 (1/4 oz) instant onion soup mix
2 c water
1-1/2 c fresh green beans, cut 1" lengths
3 small potatoes, peeled, 1/2" cubes

Brown chops on both sides in butter in bottom of oven, drain. Place vegetables in bottom of oven and replace chops on top. Combine dry soup mix and water, mixing well.

Dutch Oven Baked Pork Chops

4 Tbsp Olive oil
1/2 cup flour
1 Tbsp pepper
1 Tbsp salt
2 eggs beaten
1 1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
1 cup fresh ground parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp dried sage
1 Tsp grated fresh lemon peel
4 Each pork chops, 1 inch thick, center cut

Pre-heat a 12-inch Dutch oven with olive oil. In a pie plate mix flour, pepper, and salt. In a 2nd pie plate beat 2 eggs. In a 3rd pie plate mix bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, sage, and lemon peel. Roll each chop in flour, then egg, then bread crumb mixtures, and put into oven over 20 briquettes. Cook chops for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown, then place lid on the oven and bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes, using about 10 to 12 briquettes under the oven and about 14 to 16 on the lid. Put about 20 briquettes under the oven and use drippings to make gravy.

Hint: Garnish chops with lemon and/or orange wedges.

Enjoy!

Three Easy Dutch Oven Desserts

Scott — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 21:05:07 +0000

Dutch oven desserts are one of my favorite dutch oven dishes and are also one of the easiest dishes to cook in your dutch oven. There are many dutch oven desserts, but here are three Dutch oven desserts that are especially easy.

Dutch Oven Dessert - Cherry Cobbler

2 30 oz cans of cherry filling

2 cups sugar

2 cups flour

2 cups oatmeal

1/2 cup chopped pecans

1 cup butter

1 tsp vanilla

First of all, to help with clean up, line your Dutch oven with heavy duty foil. Now pour the cherry pie filling into the Dutch oven and spread it over the bottom. In a bowl, mix together the sugar, flour, oatmeal, and pecans. Add the vanilla. Cut the butter into pieces that are about 1 tbsp in size. Mix into the sugar/flour/oatmeal mixture. You might need to use your hands or a pastry cutter. Spread this topping over the cherries.

Put the lid on the Dutch oven and bake the cobbler, using about 10 briquets on the bottom and 16 on the top. Bake for about 45 minutes. Check and see if the crust is brown and the cherries bubbly. If so, then it is done and ready to eat! Serve this with whipped cream or ice cream. How's that for an easy Dutch oven dessert?

Dutch Oven Dessert - Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

1 box yellow cake mix

3 eggs

1/3 cup oil

1/4 cup butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 can sliced pineapple rings (should be about 10 slices), keep the juice

10 maraschino cherries

Start by preheating your Dutch oven. Use about 10 coals underneath and 16 on top.

In a bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, oil, water, and pineapple juice from the can of pineapple. Stir until all the lumps are gone. Now melt the butter in the Dutch oven (which should be preheated by now). Add the brown sugar and stir until it is all dissolved. Put the pineapple rings evenly in the bottom of the Dutch oven and put a cherry in the middle of each. Pour the cake batter over all the rings. Put the lid back on and bake for about 30 minutes or until the cake is done in the center (use a toothpick or thin stick to poke in middle and see if it is clean when you pull it back out. If it has batter stuck to it, it needs to cook some more). Don't be surprised if the cake shrinks a little when it is done. This will help you get it out upside down (which will be right side up!) . When done, remove the lid, and turn the Dutch oven over onto a serving dish or place.

Pineapple Upside-down cake is one of the classic, favorite easy Dutch oven desserts.

Dutch Oven Dessert - Chocolate Turtle Cake

1 pkg German Chocolate Cake mix

1 1/3 c. water

1/2 c. vegetable oil

3 large eggs

1 package caramels (14 oz)

1/2 c. evaporated low fat milk

1 cup minced pecans

1 (6 oz) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips (1 c.)

Line your Dutch oven with heavy foil. Make the cake, using the mix, water, oil, and the eggs. Pour half of the batter in the Dutch oven and then cook over coals, with the lid on, until done, about 15-20 minutes (check to make sure it's done--toothpick comes out clean). While the cake is cooking, heat the caramels and evaporated milk in a sauce pan and melt. You can do this on the fire. When the first layer of cake is done, pour and spread the caramel mix over the warm cake in the dutch oven. Sprinkle the pecans and chocolate chips over the mixture and then spread the remaining cake batter on top of that. Cover with the lid, add 12 coals on top of the lid. Cook until done, about 15 minutes. This tastes great warm (with ice cream, it would be great!) but helps if you let it cool completely before you serve.

Just a hint for cooking the cake in a dutch oven. Use a pie tin in the bottom below the tin foil. Underneath the pie tin, put either a dutch oven trivet, or some small stones. This will keep the cake off the bottom of the dutch oven and make it MUCH less likely to burn!

These are some great dutch oven recipes. Give them a try!

Three Easy Dutch Oven Desserts is a post from: Outdoor Cooking Magic

Corned Beef with Cabbage

Scott — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 14:34:42 +0000

2 lb corned beef

1 small onion, cut into quarters

Boneless brisket or round

1 clove garlic, crushed

1 small head cabbage

6 medium carrots

Pour cold water over corned beef in Dutch oven to just cover. Add the onion and garlic to the Dutch oven and the heat to boiling. Then reduce heat, cover and simmer until beef is tender. This would take a couple of hours. Remove beef to a platter and keep it warm. Now skim the fat from the top of the broth. Cut the cabbage into six wedges and the carrots into 4-5 pieces. Add cabbage and carrots to your Dutch oven and heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered 15 min.

Enjoy!
