Cooking with a Dutch oven while camping is a great way to enjoy meals that are delicious and easy. Some of my favorite camping memories involve Dutch oven dinners! Because food is such an important part to a good camping experience, take along your Dutch oven and try out some of the recipes that are included below.
Cast iron is a great material for cooking both in the home and out camping. Food doesn't stick to cast iron cookware and helps to distribute heat evenly quickly. The best thing about cast iron Dutch ovens is that it is easy to clean. All those who have made meals before while camping know that easy cleanup is a must. Just use soap and water and dry it out soon after washing to prevent rusting. Cast iron Dutch ovens last forever; you can not damage or ruin them. Make sure to add two or three Dutch ovens to your camping cookware collection to create many enjoyable camping memories.
Non Stick Cookware
Here we have a few of my favorite things to cook in a Dutch oven.
Enchiladas (This is one of my favorite Dutch oven recipes)
two lbs. hamburger
one large green pepper
one large onion
one large red pepper
one package tortillas
one bottle enchilada sauce
one pound of cheese
one pound of mozzarella cheese
Non stick vegetable spray
Spray with non-stick spray (make sure you always do this). You should create a hole in the center of the tortilla. Line the bottom and sides with the tortillas. Use the small lid to the Dutch oven and brown the hamburger, adding the onion and peppers. Pour half of the hamburger, cheese, and enchilada sauce over the first layer of tortillas. Repeat this twice and top with cheese. Cook over medium heat on a camp stove or use 30 briquettes for 375 degrees. Place 20 of the briquettes on top and 10 underneath. Heat until hot and the cheese is melted.
When it comes it Dutch oven cooking I have many favorites. Chili is definitely one of them
Easy Chili
one small bag of chili beans
1/4 tsp. soda
one tsp. salt
one can tomato soup
1/2 bottle catsup
one Tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. chili powder
one onion
3 tsp. pepper
Soak beans with 1/4 tsp. soda by covering them with water for about 6-8 hours (soaking the beans overnight is a good idea). Drain beans and pour into the Dutch oven. Add fresh water about 1 inch above the beans. Add 1 tsp. salt and cook over medium heat on your stove or use 10-11 briquettes. Boil for about 2 hours. Add tomato soup, catsup, sugar, and chili powder. Cook over medium heat on camp stove or use 10-11 briquettes. Let this mixture boil.
With the small lid and brown hamburger and onion. Take off grease and add to liquid mixture. Add pepper and cook over low heat on camp stove or use 8 or 9 briquettes for about 20 minutes. Continue stirring.
Finally, the best part: DESSERT!
Fantastic Cake
one box of cake mix
4 Tbsp. flour (divided)
Non stick vegetable spray
Follow the directions on the cake mix box. Add 1 Tbsp. of flour to mix. Remove all racks and spray with non stick spray. Coat with 3 Tbsp. of flour. Discard extra flour and pour cake batter in. Put lid on and cook over low to medium low heat on a camp stove or use 8 to 9 briquettes. Cook 15-20 minutes. Test with a toothpick: Cake is done when toothpick comes out clean. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
Now you will take a knife and cut around the cake. Rotate the grill upside down and place it on top of the dutch oven. Using hot pads, hold the grill in place and turn the Dutch oven upside down so the cake falls out onto the grill. Cover with icing when cake is completely cooled.
Remember, you can only cook one meal at a time with only one Dutch oven so it is important that you have two or maybe three so that you can have your full 3 course meal at the same time and not have to wait for your dessert hours after you have your meal. I hope you like these recipes and use them well.
