Devin's Famous Dutch Oven Potatoes

Melissa says, "These are the best Dutch oven potatoes! We have made them several times and for several people. Scouts, Friends, JD's family at the cabin. And every time they turn out amazing and no joke everyone says they are the best Dutch oven potatoes they have ever had. We will never make a different one."

Ingredients 

• 1 pkg. bacon cut into fourths 
• 10-12 large potatoes scrubbed, rinsed, and sliced into circles 
• Seasoning Salt "Spike" or "Johnny's" seasoning salt work great! 
• 1 Tbsp. garlic powder 
• 1 can cream of chicken 
• 3-4 c. shredded cheddar cheese 

Instructions 

When the Dutch oven is good and hot add the bacon and heat until fully cooked. Drain about half of the bacon grease then add the potatoes. Stir in about 3 Tbsp. of the seasoning salt (or to taste) and garlic powder. Cover and cook about 20-25 minutes stirring occasionally (or until potatoes are no longer crunchy, but do NOT overcook). Add cream of chicken. When the cream of chicken is evenly distributed and hot, add cheese. When cheese is melted, remove from heat and serve.

Coca Cola BBQ Chicken

Melissa shared this recipe with us, and we tried it when we went camping this past weekend. It was super yummy!

Ingredients:

• 10 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 can coke
• 16 oz BBQ suace
• 1 T. worchestershire sauce
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

Arrange chicken in an oiled dutch oven.  Mix the BBQ sauce, coke and spices and pour over chicken. (Optional: I put it all together in a bag in the morning and left in our cooler all day so the sauce could act as a marinade. It made things super easy when it came time to cook.) Cover the dutch oven and cook over coals for 60-70 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink. 

*Even though this is a dutch oven recipe, it would be easily adjustable to make in the oven at home. 

Dutch Oven Potatoes

We made these classic potatoes when we went camping last weekend. They were perfection!

Ingredients:

• 1/4 pound bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces 
• 1 small onion, chopped 
• 2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-size chunks 
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley leaves 
• 1 tablespoon seasoned salt 
• Freshly ground black pepper 
• 1/2 cup water 
• 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces 

Directions:

Preheat a wood fire or outdoor charcoal grill to medium heat. In a Dutch oven placed on the grill grate or directly on the embers of the fire, cook bacon until crisp. Add onions and cook until transparent, about 5 minutes. Put potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Add parsley, seasoned salt and pepper, to taste. Mix all ingredients well. Put potatoes into the Dutch oven, and add water and butter. Cook, covered, until potatoes are browned and tender, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.
