More Dutch Oven Cooking Recipes!

The following recipes were submitted by Linda and Boyd Simper. This is what we got to sample Wednesday night! They were delicious!

Peach Cobbler
2 large cans of peaches (slightly drained) or 1 quart bottled peaches
1 box of yellow or white cake mix
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup melted butter

Layer the peaches on the bottom of a (9x12) cake pan. Then add the cake mix on top of the peaches. Sprinkle with brown sugar and top with the melted butter. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until bubbling hot.

Use a 10" or 12" Dutch Oven


Barbecue Spareribs
6 - 8 boneless country style pork spareribs
3 bay leaves

Put bay leaves in water (enough to cover ribs) and bring to a boil. Put ribs in boiling water and boil 45 to 60 minutes.

Sauce:
1 Tbsp. celery seed
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 to 1/2 cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp. salt
1 tsp. paprika
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce or ketchup
1/4 cup vinegar

Mix ingredients together. Baste ribs with sauce. Place ribs on baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour or until tender. Can broil ribs the last 15 minutes.

This is a great recipe for the Dutch Oven!


Dutch Oven Potatoes

1 lb. bacon cut in 1 inch pieces
14 potatoes
5 onions
1/4 cup bacon grease (from cooking bacon)
1 cup water
2 cups mild cheddar cheese

Peel and slice potatoes. Cut up bacon in 1 inch pieces and fry in the bottom of a 14" Dutch Oven. Add potatoes and onion and stir to coat with the bacon grease. Pour in water and season. Bake for about 1 hour at 350 degrees. Check regularly and stir carefully as needed. When potatoes are done, put cheese on top and allow to melt before serving.


They also did cornbread in a Dutch Oven. All they used was a Jiffy cornbread mix! But it turned out delicious!
