This is a super easy and tasty Dutch oven dish. Other than hamburger, onions, and potatoes, everything else is from canned goods. There is a lot of liquid in it, so it won't burn easily at all. Try and see if your family or group doesn't just love it!
Ingredients
4 potatoes, cut into 1 inch pieces 1 lb ground beef 1 medium onion, diced 1 can of corn 1 can of peas 1 can of stewed tomatoes 1 can of green beans 1 can of baked beans 1 can of tomato soup Bay leafPrepare your briquets and Dutch oven. Put about 15-20 briquets underneath the Dutch oven.
Add ground beef to Dutch oven and brown.
Add onions to ground beef and cook.
Now add the diced potatoes.
Add all other ingredients (don't drain the cans). Add the bay leaf and any other desired seasonings, such as salt and pepper.
Mix everything together.
Cook until the potatoes are done.
Dutch ovens are one way to cook over a campfire, but grilling right over a fire is another great way to cook! If you enjoy cooking right over a campfire, here are some great campfire grills to make cooking even easier and more fun.

Tried your recipe for “Cowboy Soup” last night for my Cub Scout group. I have recently gotten my first dutch oven and was looking for a simple recipe to try. It was easy to prepare, lots of fun, and everyone loved it!
Thanks!!

Glad you liked it! That’s a quick, easy favorite of mine! I’ve done it for Scout groups as well.

Good question and I don’t remember exactly, but it seems like it we fed 6-8 with it. Of course, it depends on how many times they come back for seconds

What is the approximate time to cook? And do you place any briquets on top?

Wendy, after you get everything in, it usually takes about 30 minutes. I usually just check the potatoes and when they are done, the whole thing is done. You can put some briquettes on top, but it’s not necessary. Since this has a fair amount of liquid in it, the dish can take more briquettes from the bottom.
