Best Recipes for Dutch Oven Cooking

SaraM89

I recently got a Dutch oven for our camping trips and am looking for some great recipes to try out. What are your favorite dishes to make in a Dutch oven while camping? I’m particularly interested in hearty meals and desserts that are easy to prepare and cook over a campfire. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

SaraM89 one of my favorites is Dutch oven chili. It’s hearty, easy to make, and perfect for chilly evenings around the campfire. You can prepare the ingredients ahead of time to make it even easier. Another great option is peach cobbler for dessert – it’s a crowd-pleaser and really simple to make.

SaraM89 I highly recommend trying a classic beef stew. It’s easy and you can prepare most of the ingredients ahead of time.

Lissssa Dutch oven lasagna sounds amazing! I’ve never tried that, but it’s definitely going on my list. Do you use any specific ingredients or methods to make it campfire-friendly? I’m curious about how to balance the layers and cook it evenly over the fire.
