Easy Dutch Oven Recipes - Getting Started Cooking With Your Dutch Oven

Dutch Oven cooking is fun and easy. Dutch oven recipes are abundant and adapting them from your favorite home recipes is easy. With a little experience you'll find that it is fairly simple to cook with your Dutch oven. Here are some easy Dutch oven recipes to try:

Easy Dutch Oven Mountain Man Hash

Biscuit

1 lb. Bacon or sausage

2 lbs frozen potatoes (shredded or southern style)

1 dozen eggs

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Cut bacon/sausage into smaller pieces (about 1"). Cook the bacon or sausage in the Dutch oven. Add potatoes, cover with lid with coals on top. Cook until potatoes are done, stirring occasionally. Mix eggs together in a bowl and pour on top of potatoes. Replace lid with coals on top and cook until eggs are done (shouldn't need a long time if the lid is hot). When eggs are done, sprinkle cheese on top, replace lid and bake until cheese is melted. Serve as is, or wrap spoonfuls in warmed flour tortillas to make breakfast burritos (provide salsa).

Easy Dutch Oven Taco Pie

1 ½ lbs. Ground beef

1 medium jar of taco sauce

6 large corn tortillas

8 oz shredded cheddar cheese

8 oz can of tomato sauce

Brown the ground beef and drain it. Mix the taco sauce and tomato sauce. Line the Dutch oven with tin foil and put 3 tortillas in the bottom. Put ½ of the ground beef on the tortillas and cover with ½ of the sauce. Put 3 more tortilla shells 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. You could also add onions, olives, mushrooms for some variety.

Easy Dutch Oven Au Gratin Potatoes

8-10 potatoes, sliced thin

2-3 Tbsp. Melted butter or margarine

2-3 medium onions, sliced thin

15 oz can of cheese soup

¼ cup milk

½ cup cracker or bread crumbs

1 cup shredded cheese

Put a little oil in the bottom of the Dutch oven. Put a layer of potatoes in the bottom and brush with the melted butter. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Add a layer of sliced onions. Continue the layering with potatoes and onions as described until all have been used. Mix the soup with the milk and pour over the top. Sprinkle the top with the bread or cracker crumbs. Add any additional desired seasonings. Put Dutch oven over 6-8 briquets and 16-18 briquets on top. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove and sprinkle the top with the shredded cheese. Replace lid and let the cheese melt-shouldn't take long.

Easy Dutch Oven Cowboy Stew

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

Bay leaf

Brown ground beef and onions. Add all other ingredients (don't drain the cans). Add bay leaf and any other desired seasonings, such as salt and pepper. Cook until the potatoes are done.

Easy Dutch Oven Cinnamon Bread

4 cans of refrigerated tube biscuits

1 cup of brown sugar

1/2 cup butter or margarine

1 cup of sugar

4 tsp cinnamon

Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces. Mix the sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a zip-lock bag. Put the biscuit quarters in the bag and shake until they are all well-coated. Place the biscuit pieces in the bottom of the Dutch oven. Melt the butter and then pour over the biscuit quarters (you can do this with another pan, or you can use the inverted lid of the Dutch oven to melt the butter). Put 6-8 coals underneath Dutch oven and 14-15 on top. Bake for 30 minutes.

Each of these is a quick and easy Dutch oven recipe and will help you get started with Dutch oven cooking. Have fun!

I'm Getting Sick And Tired

I was watching an author talk about his new book that he had just released, the book is called war footing, I for whatever reason can't seem to remember the authors name who wrote the book, but he made some very good points about things that wee as a country need to do to help secure our way of life, and the freedoms that we enjoy and hold so close to our hearts.

He talked about the Saudi Arabians and the power and influence that their beginning to gain due to all the money that they have from oil sales, he was saying that he'd done some research in to the strangle hold that people are beginning to show on certain parts of our country, if you have noticed lately there are a lot of these mosques going up in our country, and in some way the Arabs have their hands in the cookie jar.

Cookie

They are the ones who are loaning these people the money to build these things, and it needs to stop, he was saying that once they get them built, they are importing their hand picked people to run them, people who were trained in their country to be terrorists and all around morons, but we still let it happen, yes we do have freedom in this country, but maybe certain people should have just a bit less.

Once these people import their hand picked people, they start to build their groups of sympathizers, and their collisions of terrorists, and we will lose control of our country and it way of life if this is allowed to continue, the Arabs are supplying most of the world's terrorists with their money to run their empires, their seed money if you will, to plant their seeds of terror where ever they go.

You an idiot if you don't think that these people are building up their sympathizers, and their collisions, and terrorist cells, the actions of these people needs to be monitored more heavily in this country, this author was talking about how their beginning to work their people in to our government and the armed forces, are you getting worried yet? If not then you are very slow to figure out what is going on here.

It has nothing to do with our government trying to take down it's own country, but rather our government is getting just a little to lax about how it takes care of this sort of thing, and I don't know if it has anything to do with the way that people are being forced to raise their children these days, but I'm betting that is.

The laws have become very stiff on the way people are allowed to raise their children, as far as discipline, come on people, we all know that time outs don't do anything, and we all know what does, but back to the topic at hand here, our government need to have the right to profile these people, and do background searches on them, and all while their held in quarantine until the search is done.

When and if they find any damming evidence on them, they will then have two choices; to either join the hospitable people at Leavenworth federal prison, or be sent back to their country, and never allowed to return to our country again, most of these people do have some bad motive for being in this country, they know that if they can take down the USA, the rest won't pose to much of a threat to their cause.

I'm getting sick and tired of having to be politically correct about everything, and I get told all the time that I need to be more tolerant, why do I need to do that? Just give me one good reason, and that reason needs to make sense, it needs to show me that what I'm saying in just way out there, and then I might back down, but since there is no good way to do this, well it just won't be happening any time soon.
