Dutch oven recipes anybody have any?

[Jailbird]

My wife and I are going on a family camping trip next month and we want to try out our Dutch oven. We got it as a gift a few years ago and never used it. So please, if anyone has any good recipes or tips, post them up.

Thanks!

Strangely, the dish I've made most in my dutch oven is bread.

Here's the 'Almost no-knead bread' recipe.

It gets the crust awesomely crisp, although this is in-oven. I haven't tried it with coals. Also, since my dutch oven is so small, I have to split the dough into two very small loaves.

Sorry I can't be of more help.  However, if you just type in 'Dutch Oven' on youtube, you'll get a ton of good ideas... like 'Dutch Oven Pizza'.

Having used dutch ovens for quite a few things over the years what I will first suggest to you is get used to cooking with it.  It is quite unique in how to cook with it. 

Temperature, time, the difference in cooked or not cooked food all depends on your coal number and placement.

Practice in the yard with some basics (chili, stew) to learn how the "oven" cooks.  Each charcoal can be different as well. 

Have you seasoned the oven yet?  You may want to google; seasoning a dutch oven and cooking with a dutch oven so that you have your feet wet first.

As far as recipes go, you can google a bunch of them but I'll be honest once you know how to cook with it you can modify any of favorites to work with it.

Once you have the hang of it you may find yourself finding reasons to cook with it, my wife loves to surprise company with cakes and deserts I have cooked in it.

over here a Dutch Oven means passing gas and then pulling the covers over your partners head...

Thanks for the info and tips guys! I'm thinking ill give it a trial run this weekend like suggested. And PTRSAK, i just about spit out my beer after reading that one! I completely forgot about that definition because for the first few years I couldn't get my wife with that. After a while, I just gave up.
