Here is one of my own recipes:





Dutch Oven Chicken Casserole





Ingredients:





1 Chicken cut into four pieces or eight pieces ( depending on each serving) washed and cleaned.





Put into a deep bowl.





Add to the bowl, chopped onions, carrots, celery ( or green beans) and potatoes ( or any other veggies of your choice) smashed garlic, one chopped up green spring onion, a couple of bay leaves, little chopped parsley. If you want it spicy , add a chopped chilli pepper.





Sprinkle with a little fresh black pepper, salt and another spice of your choice. One tablespoon of tomato paste ( optional) I make it both ways. Rub it all over the chicken and veggies inside the bowl and then leave aside for 30 minutes.





While you are waiting, boil about a pint and 1/4 water add one chicken stock cube to it and add to it a tablespoon of butter. Stir.





Once chicken has marinated, pour everything from the bowl into the Dutch oven and pour over the stock. leave in oven at 250-300 for about one 45 mins-one hour. It will cook at low heat remember.





This is absolutely delicious and so easy to make. You can do the same with other meats like fish and lamb.





Serve with crusty bread or rice.





Happy Eating!

Baked goods in general


You can also go with the whole well built Dutch Oven Plus Pressure cooker = Crocpot....
go to www.bettycrocker.com and search for old-fashioned baked beans.
beans, eggs and sprouts, makes a great feast for the oven ;-)
Southwest Tamale Pie








3 small cans of spiced or flavored beans. My favorite is S%26amp;W Chipotle Flavored Beans. However, chili beans, black beans, Louisiana style beans, etc., will also work great.


2 pounds of pork cut into 1 inch cubes (You could use chicken or beef just as well. We prefer the pork flavor in this dish.)


One yellow or brown onion, chopped.


陆 to 1 cup of grated cheddar or jack cheese.


1 teaspoon minced garlic.


1 tablespoon of red chili sauce (optional).


1 can of Marie Callendar's Southwest Cornbread Mix. This is probably a local California brand. It is cornbread mix spiced with red and green bell peppers and hot spices. You can use any package of cornbread mix as a substitute. Prepare using baking instructions on the package (adjust for altitude if you are above 5000 ft by adding extra liquid). When camping I usually mix the cornbread in the 1 gallon freezer bag and it saves a lot of cleanup.


1 tub of sour cream to serve with the cooked tamale pie.








Dump the beans, onions, pork, garlic, and chili sauce in the bottom of the Dutch oven and mix with a spoon. Be careful not to tear the foil lining.


Sprinkle the cheese on top of the mixture.


Pour the cornbread mix over the cheese and even out all over using the backside of a spoon.








Usually takes 50-60 minutes. It is done when both the pork and cornbread are fully cooked.


Serving:





Spoon it onto your plate, add a dollop of sour cream, and enjoy!

Chicken Stew








2-3 pounds of chicken boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts) cut into 1 inch cubes.


6 potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch or smaller cubes.


1-2 brown or yellow onions, chopped.


1 small package of baby carrots or chopped carrots.


3 small cans of cream of chicken soup


2 small cans of cream of celery soup (cream of mushroom soup can be used here if everyone likes mushrooms)


1 package of mushrooms, cleaned (optional)


1 teaspoon minced garlic


Salt and Pepper, (and your favorite stew seasonings - bay leaf, sage, rosemary, etc.) Note added 8/14/00: If you can find Campbell's Cream of Chicken Soup with Herbs, it makes the most awesome stew and you don't have to add the seasonings.








Dump all the ingredients in the Dutch oven and mix together. Be careful not to tear the foil lining.








Cooks in about 1 - 1.5 hours. Test the potatoes to see if they are done. Carrots usually stay somewhat crunchy.


Serving:





Spoon on plate and serve with biscuits or over pasta noodles.

Dutch Oven Scrappel





2 lbs of your favorite flavor of ';Little Smokies';.


Three large apples (red delicious seem to be our favorite)


One package (can) of Marie Callendars Corn Bread Mix


Water for the Corn bread mix


1/2 cup of brown sugar


Butter


Syrup








Put Little Smokies in the bottom of the Dutch oven (If you substitutue pork sausage, brown it first and drain off the fat).


Core and slice the apples into 3/8-1/2 inch thick slices and layer them on top of the Little Smokies.


Sprinkle the brown sugar on top of the apples.


Mix the cornbread mix per instructions. Over 5000 ft. altitude add a few extra tablespoons of water. Pour the mix on top of the apples.








Cooks in about 45-55 minutes.


Serving:





Spoon on plate topped with butter and syrup. Yummy!

Peach Cobbler





2 large cans of peaches in syrup. Use all the syrup from one can and about 1/2 the syrup from the second can.


One tablespoon of cornstarch.


One box of super moist yellow cake.


Eggs, oil, and water as required for the cake mix.


1 large ziplock bag for preparing the cake mix.


4 pats of butter.


Additional things to buy that will really make the experience special: French Vanilla ice cream %26amp; whipped cream. Pick up some disposable bowls and plastic spoons as well.








Dump the peaches and syrup in the Dutch oven and mix in the cornstarch.


Mix the cake batter in the ziplock bag per the instructions (Note: many people do not follow the instructions and either just dump the cake mix on top of the peaches or leave out the eggs and oil. These methods still make a good cobbler, but I prefer to make the cake per the instructions.)


Sprinkle the brown sugar on top of the peaches.


Pour the batter on top of the peaches.


Put the pats of butter on top of the batter.








Cooks in about 45-55 minutes. Test the cake with a plastic utensil or toothpick to see if it is done. The syrup may be bubbling up in spots--that is not a problem.








Spoon into the bowl and serve with French Vanilla ice cream and whipped cream (if you can get them).


Caution: the cobbler is usually quite hot, so be careful.
