Best Dutch Oven meal

[Tony]

What's the best Dutch oven meal you've had? We tend to use our ovens in fits and spurts and we've had some good meals out of them, rice and chicken, an excellent rice pudding at the Moot last year and a few other things over the years.

So, what have you found to be a good dutch oven meal and if you've got some pics and recipes that would be brilliant

We had a fantastic Venison and Guinness stew with dumplings at the Suffolk meet earlier this month.

The stew Colin mentioned above was mighty fine

 

[Tony]

So some more details if you would on heat and times, I presume you used embers for the heating, or did you use charcoal or suspend it?

My favorite dutch oven meal is one that I first tried back in the early 90s, while serving on my Boy Scout (BSA) district training team. It is a very simple meal and can be made with venison instead of beef, too. Usually, if I am taking one of my dutch ovens this will be on the menu. The recipe is one from the resource Dutch Oven Cooking, Second Edition by John G. Ragsdale.

Guadalupe Chili Pie

2lb ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tbsp margarine / butter
1 15-oz can chili beans
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 8-oz can tomato sauce
2 6-oz pkg cornbread mix

Brown beef and onion in the margarine in open oven. Add beans, chili powder, salt and sauce and cook for 15 minutes in covered oven.

Mix the cornbread as directed and add to top of meat and beans. Place lid on oven. Cook for 20-30 minutes, until cornbread is done.

Hard to beat a Full Lamb Dinner in my opinion, but for sheer entertainment value, Twodog's Chicken and Chips with Sasquatch's bread will get my vote:

Where do you get the cornbread mix?

America

America

Or on Amazon.

or you can just make up your own; here's a recipe for cornbread mix:

-1 cup cornmeal
-1 cup all purpose flour
-1 tablespoon baking powder
-1 egg
-pinch of salt
-milk or buttermilk; enough to make a medium thick batter (IF! If you use buttermilk, add 1 teaspoon of baking soda in addition to the baking powder)
-1 tablespoon of cooking oil

If you or another diner is a celiac or has a gluten intolerance, substitute a gluten free flour for the all purpose flour and add a tablespoon of zanthum gum.

Oops, apologies folks. I was not thinking as to the availability of prepackaged cornbread mix in the UK. Thanks for the assist with the cornbread recipe, Dan.
