Dutch Oven Mountain Man Hash   by Scott Carey

Here is the perfect Dutch oven breakfast for a cold camping morning. Mountain Man Hash is easy to make, will fill everyone up, is very tasty. It is best made in a Dutch oven, which makes it perfect for cold mornings, since you will have a fire going anyway. You'll cook this with coals underneath the Dutch oven and on top of the lid.

 

Dutch Oven Mountain Man Hash takes 4 basic ingredients: meat, potatoes, eggs, and cheese. You add each of these to the Dutch oven in that order, starting with the meat. For the meat, you can use one pound of bacon, sausage, ham, or any combination. If using bacon or sausage, cut into 1" pieces and if using ham, cut into ½" cubes. Cook the bacon or sausage in the Dutch oven on the coals until done. If you are using ham, warm up in the Dutch oven (it shouldn't take long). When done, remove some of the grease, but you'll want to leave some in to keep things from sticking, and to add some flavor.

When the meat is done, add the potatoes. This is easily done with frozen potatoes. These come in a variety of types from the frozen food section. Southern style potatoes (which are small cube potatoes) work very well, but any of the frozen potatoes that are used for breakfast will work fine. Use two pounds of potatoes. Just add them to the Dutch oven and let them cook, stirring occasionally.

While the potatoes are cooking, break all the eggs into a bowl, and whip. When the potatoes are cooked, add the eggs to the top. You won't need to stir after you add the eggs-they will cook fairly quickly.

When the eggs are done, sprinkle the top of the eggs with 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Put the Dutch oven lid back on and let the cheese melt. That's all there is to it!

Dutch Oven Mountain Man Hash makes the perfect filling for breakfast burritos. Warm flour tortillas in foil on the side of the fire while the breakfast is cooking. Add heaping spoonfuls of Mountain Man Hash to the center of the tortillas and roll up. Serve with salsa.

Camping Recipes for Your Dutch Oven   by Sherry Frewerd

Love to camp and cook outdoors?

There's nothing as satisfying as making camp and cooking your meal over a campfire. The food just tastes better, and the atmosphere can't be beat. Every year families pack up and head for their favorite camping destination. Some may go as fancy as an RV while others prefer a simple family tent. Either way you choose, camping is a wonderful family activity.

Even though you may be 'roughing' it in the great outdoors this summer, you don't have to settle for plain old hot dogs cooked on a stick you find in the woods nearby. There is a fantastic utensil that's been around forever called the 'Dutch Oven', and with it the cooking possibilities are endless, as are the delicious recipes.

There are very many sizes and options available for Dutch Ovens, but for the most part, with one you can bake, stew, roast, fry, boil etc. There are basically two dutch oven types of cooking, either cooking with it or cooking something inside of it. Absolutely amazing biscuits can be baked in a Dutch Oven; imagine how great they would be outdoors with fresh campfire coffee and bacon frying in your cast iron skillet.

Here are some tried and truly wonderful camping recipes using a cast iron Dutch Oven.
