Dinner: Stacked Dutch Oven Meal

(collected from Scouts-L)

In a 14" Dutch Oven, layer the following ingredients:

  • sliced thin skinned potatoes (skin and all)
  • sliced onions
  • raw bacon

When the oven is about 3/4 full, put the lid on and cover the top with charcoal.

On top of this, stack a 12" Dutch Oven. When it is hot, add the following:

  • 2 lbs. hamburger meat (coarsely ground ok). Stir until no longer pink.
  • 1 large can Ro-Tel tomatoes
  • chili powder
  • garlic
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 can of Ranch Style chili beans. Stir in.

Put the lid on and add a layer of coals to the lid.

On top of that, stack a foil-lined 10" Dutch Oven and add the following ingredients:

  • apple pie filling
  • spice cake mix
  • 1 can Dr Pepper or root beer

Add the lid and put some coals on top.

After the last Dutch Oven has been cooking for about 30 minutes, the entire stack will be done. Unstack them. Serve the chili and potatoes (I know this sounds like an odd combo, but it works) and leave the cobbler with the lid on. By the time you're done eating the main dish, open the cobbler and it is ready to serve.

Serves 6.
