what are your favorite outdoor dutch oven recipies?

[DUTCHMAN]

Our favorite is a very simple one. Just a pork loin roast with baby potato's and carrots. I have a friend who will drive over an hour to join us for this, and he has been bugging me to do soon again.

Another very simple one is for a "cobbler". It's just canned fruit (your choice) with a dry white cake mix (box) spread over the top.

In hindsight, I think I would recomend coating the dutch over with butter (grease the pan style) and maybe coat that with some of the dry cake mix before you add the canned fruit and put the rest of the cake mix on top. I think that would help with serving and clean up.

Dutch oven and prime rib Take a 6-8 lb boneless rib roast stuff it with fresh garlic cloves, rub it with coarse salt and ground pepper, wrap it with thick sliced bacon, secure the bacon with toothpicks or string. Place the roast on a baking rack in the dutch oven and roast it fom a tripod over medium heat for about 1 1/2 hours or until the meat reaches an inside temp of 135 deg for medium doneness. Slice and enjoy knowing that you are eating better than anyone else in the campground.

One of our new favorites is pizza. Very simple. Another quick and easy one is a beef roast with some onion slices cooked in V8. Almost like swiss steak when it is done.

Good Afternoon,

I am an Assistant Scoutmaster and have been dutch oven cooking for the last 12 years. When making a cobbler and you want quick and easy cleanup, line the inside of the DO with foil. Add 2 cans of fruit pie filling, 1/2 - 3/4 can of water or soda pop, sprinkle the dry cake mix over the fruit and water or pop, spread evenly, and top with 1 stick of butter cut into small pads and randomly placed. Take a DO Lodge 12 for example, place 9 briquets on the bottom and 15 briquets on the top, cook for 30 - 40 minutes. Enjoy!
