Cowboy Dutch Oven Recipes

COWBOY BEANS

Steps:

• Place 16-18 hot coals as a base for the bottom and place 12 inch Dutch Oven over coals. Allow Dutch Oven to heat up. Once hot add sliced bacon. I like to cut bacon in about 3/4in slices and throw them into the hot Dutch Oven and let them cook stirring as needed
• Remove any excess oil and fat. It's easiest to use a few paper towels to absorb the excess fat.
• Add 1 lb of ground beef to the cooked bacon. I prefer a lean ground sirloin but choose what you prefer.
• Chop ground beef and allow to fully cook. You may need to drain excess fat from the hamburger depending on what you choose.
• Add diced Onion and Diced Bell Pepper. Green Bell Pepper gives a nice bite to this recipe, but Red or Yellow is also a great option! Stir to combine and allow onions and bell pepper to soften for a few minutes.
• Drain Kidney Beans and Navy Beans. Add Kidney, Navy and Pork and Beans to meat mixture.
• Pour Chili Sauce, broth, and Yellow Mustard on top.
• Add ham cubes and brown sugar and stir to combine.
• Cover with lid and add 12-14 hot coals on top of Dutch Oven
• Stir every 15 minutes and cook for 60-70 minutes.
• In a large skillet on the stove over medium/high heat add bacon slices. I like to cut bacon in 3/4in pieces. Stir as needed until fully cooked.
• Remove excess fat using paper towels to carefully remove.
• Add 1 lb Lean Ground Sirloin to bacon and chop to break up beef. Feel free to use any ground beef. You may need to remove excess fat after cooking.
• Dice Onion and Bell Pepper. Green Bell Pepper gives a nice bite to this recipe, but Red or Yellow is also a great option! Stir to combine and allow onions and bell pepper to soften for a few minutes.
• Pour meat mixture into Slow Cooker or Dutch Oven

DUTCH OVEN MOUNTAIN MAN BREAKFAST

Steps:

• Build a campfire and allow the fire to burn until it has accumulated a bed of coals.
• Cook and stir the sausage, onion, and garlic in a 12-inch cast iron Dutch oven with lid, raised over the coals to medium-high heat, until the sausage is no longer pink and the onion is tender. Stir in the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and hash brown potatoes until evenly mixed. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the hash browns are hot and the peppers are tender, about 15 minutes.
• Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the top of the potatoes, allowing them to sink into the potatoes. Cover the Dutch oven, and place 6 to 9 coals underneath, and 12 to 18 on top. Allow to bake until the eggs are firm, about 40 minutes. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese, cover, and continue cooking until the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes.
