Ahhh, my favorite way to cook outdoors. Made several dump apple cobblers this fall with apples off our trees and cooked it outside!

Also, got a killer chicken enchilada recipe with green sauce, black beans, onions, and cheese that works well in the oven!

Roger, that sounds yummy... wanna share?

Well, for the dump cobbler:

2-3 cans of apple slices in juice (if using pie-filling, add some apple juice for moisture

1 yellow cake mix

1/2&1/2 blend of brown sugar and cinnamon

1/2 stick of butter

Empty apples into dutch and spread evenly. Dust cake mix evenly over apples and spread gently with fork. Dust with sugar/spice mixture to taste. Dot top evenly with thin slices of butter. Cover and bake.
When cooking with dutch oven, remember to rotate the lid (w/o lifting) a quarter turn every ten minutes and at same time, rotate whole oven a quarter turn. This ensures even temps. When it SMELLS like cobbler, give it a few more minutes. Top should be a golden and brown.

Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas:

Pkg. of corn tortillas
1-2 cans drained and rinse black beans
1-2 bags of shredded cheddar cheese
1-2 onions (large dice)
5-6 shredded or chopped cooked chicken breasts
1 large can green enchilada sauce (WallyWorld, unfortunately)

Line oven with tin foil. Layer torn corn tortillas evenly in bottom. Add shredded breast meat that has been gently poached. Add layer of beans and onions, drizzle sauce evenly over all. Add shredded cheese evenly. Add another layer of torn tortillas. Repeat again twice.

Try to end with a fourth layer of torn enchiladas, cheese and the green sauce.

Cooking time is until casserole is heated through and top is bubbling and just beginning to brown. About 30-40 minutes depending on coals.

All recipes are for a 12" DO with a full lid of coals and about 6-8 coals on bottom.
Cooking times will vary for both recipes depending on amount of heat. Remember to rotate all DO dishes when cooking to ensure even heating which equals even cooking.

Once I'm allowed to cook again, I have GOT to try that enchilada recipe. Sounds splendid!

Uh, Kat, why are you NOT allowed to cook? Aw, never mind.

I'm so close to my due date that standing to cook's a bit out right now. Believe me, it's driving me nuts! Trust me, I'll be cooking again soon enough, once this bun's out of the oven.

Sounds like a terrific way to get a new Dutch Oven.

I'm there!
