WINNING SCOUT DUTCH OVEN CASSEROLE



Winning Scout Dutch Oven Casserole image

My son's Scout troop is experimenting with recipes to put into a cookbook for campers. This was the winner for taste, simplicity and relatively few ingredients. It's basic, but tasty. I can never leave a recipe alone, so I always add herbs, more or less squash (depending on whether I'm trying to use up the garden over abundance or not), additional cheese or different kinds of cheese. Use your imagination and make it your own.

DUTCH OVEN MOUNTAIN MAN BREAKFAST

Our kids request this meal every time we go camping, and seeing as we have about 15 laying chickens, it's a great way to use up eggs! Please note, this makes a LOT! You may want to consider sharing it with your camping friends or, if you're like our family and enjoy leftovers, just save the leftovers for the day you're leaving the campground and need a quick breakfast without a lot of mess and fuss. You can easily re-heat it in a microwave or in a skillet over low heat. Feel free to add more spices and personalize this recipe to suite your taste buds!

Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound mild pork sausage (such as Jimmy DeanĀ®)
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 (2 pound) package frozen shredded hash brown potatoes
12 eggs, beaten
1 (16 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese

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.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will ensure that your casserole is packed with flavor and nutrients. Some good options include potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, and green beans.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender, but not mushy. Cook them until they are just tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Use a good quality cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your casserole. Cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Swiss are all good choices.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are endless possibilities when it comes to making a Dutch oven casserole. Try different combinations of vegetables, cheese, and meat until you find a favorite.
  • Make sure your Dutch oven is the right size. It should be large enough to hold all of the ingredients, but not so large that the casserole is too thin.

Conclusion:

Dutch oven casseroles are a delicious and easy way to feed a crowd. They are perfect for potlucks, picnics, and camping trips. With a little planning, you can make a Dutch oven casserole that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give a Dutch oven casserole a try.
