Dutch Oven Taco Recipes

Here are some easy taco-type recipes for your Dutch oven:

Easy Taco Bake

1 lb. ground beef

1/2 cup chopped green pepper

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 pkg. taco mix

1/2 cup Miracle Whip

8 corn tortillas

1 jar salsa

1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese

3/4 cup water

Brown meat with green pepper and onion and drain. Stir in taco mix, cook five minutes, and remove from oven. Overlap the tortillas on the bottom of the Dutch oven. Top tortillas with meat mixture and sprinkle with cheese. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.

Dutch Oven Taco Pie

1 1/2 lbs. ground beef

1 medium jar taco sauce

6 large corn tortillas

8 oz shredded cheddar cheese

8 oz can tomato sauce

Brown the ground beef, drain, and place in bowl. Mix the taco sauce and tomato sauce in another bowl. Line the Dutch oven with heavy-duty aluminum foil and put 3 tortillas in the bottom. Put ½ of the ground beef on the tortillas and cover with 1/2 of the sauce. Put 3 more tortillas on top, and put the remaining ground beef and sauce on top of those tortillas. Sprinkle the cheese on top.

Cover the Dutch oven, place a few coals on top, and bake until the cheese is melted.

For variety and additional taste, add onions, olives, mushrooms, or chopped tomatoes.
