Dutch Oven Cooking

With camping season on the horizon and in some places in full swing, one of the greatest things about camping and summer is Dutch Oven cooking. One thing we never do without on a camping trip is breakfast in a dutch oven. I don't have a recipe for the breakfast we cook, but I found one similar in Kettles & Coals Dutch Oven Favorites cookbook by Ken & Cheryl Allred.

Chuck Wagon Breakfast

2 lbs. ground seasoned sausage or bacon

1/4 medium onion, diced

1 garlic clove, chopped

1 lb. cooked ham, cubed

1- 2 lb. package cubed hashbrowns

18 eggs

1/2 c. milk

seasonings to taste

With 12 coals on top and 12 on bottom, add sausage or quarter sliced bacon. When meat is cooked, drain all the grease . Add onion and garlic and saute for 4 minutes. Add ham & hashbrowns, cover and cook until hashbrowns are done, stirring occasionally. In a separate bowl, whip eggs and milk. Add egg mixture to oven, stirring into meat. Add seasonings, cover and cook until eggs are done, stirring occasionally.
