Anyone got a killer recipe for the dutch oven? I've got two cookbooks
and have tried alot of them but I want a tried and true no doubt about it GREAT recipe! We are having a cookoff challenge with my son's scout troop. We are trying to get them to be a little more creative in their camp cooking, burgers and dogs just don't cut it even if they are veggie! They tried a cherry cobbler this past weekend and liked that, so let's keep them fired up and cooking!
Thanks! Bramble

I just read this: there is an International Dutch Oven Society! We have a local chapter - www.wnydos.com This group holds cookoffs, training sessions and Dutch Oven Gatherings ("DOGs"), which teach people to use Dutch ovens. Will wonders never cease? There must be a society for every interest in the world!

Thanks Jenny! That's a good place to start and easy for the boys!
Sounds good too! Think I'll stay upwind from them however!
Cecelia- I have a friend who bakes twice a week and she always makes atleast two flower pot loaves for her kids. The recipe is the same but they just love the packaging! That's the great thing about kids cooking; everything is interesting and new.

Aunt Jenny, that sounds so good, but my family won't eat baked beans (only me) so I never make up such a large recipe (I am getting to be quite expert at making recipes for 1 or 2 servings!).I don't use a Dutch over, but I do use a clay pot. You soak the top and bottom in water for about 1/2 hour, then proceed with whatever recipe you have on hand. It's great for roasts, vegetables, etc. because the water in the clay (from soaking) keeps the food moist without adding a lot of liquid. I have even used it to bake bread. They were quite the vogue some years ago, but you can still buy them. Anyone else use one?

Our scout troop does the same thing here..we call the "greasy spoon" competition..we do it once a year. I made a baked beans recipe this year..it is really good (I didn't win, but there wasn't any left!!)
Here it is:
Dutch OVen baked beans
2 cans pinto beans (don't drain any of the beans)
2 cans white northern beans
2 cans kidney beans
2 whole bunches green onions..sliced..tops and all
1 lb of raw bacon..chopped up
2 jars chili sauce (the recipe called for the brand "homemade" but I used my own REAL homemade..it works either way)
dump it all together..stir it up and then add about 1/4 cup mollasses and stir that in too. bake in your dutch oven for at least 1 and 1/2 hours..can do it longer..just so the bacon is cooked...
this is so yummy and thick..everyone likes it alot..goes great with cornbread. HMMMMM you could make cornbread batter and pour over the beans the last 20 min and I bet that would be good..a dutch oven "sort of bakeover" without flipping it!! good luck in the cook off!!

There is a cookbook called " A Skillet Full" It's all cast iron cooking. They also have the recipes listed by cookware, so there is a section on dutch ovens. If you have satellit tv or cable, some areas get the RFD Network and there is a show on campfire cooking. RFD Network may have a website too.
