Easy Dutch Oven Cobbler

What You Will Need:

1 box white cake mix
1 16oz can of pie filling (any kind)
2 tbsp butter
1 can of Sprite (we've used Dr. Pepper before too, so I think you could really use any pop)

Cook in 12" dutch oven.  Drop butter into the bottom of the oven.  Pour out pie filling.  Add the cake mix on top of the pie filling.  With your finger, make a zigzag pattern in cake mix.  Pour Sprite over the top.  Checkerboard your charcoal on top and bottom until full.  Turn at 15 minutes and start checking to see if it's cooked.  Check every 15 minutes after that.  Usually takes about 30 minutes.

It's easy and delicious!

Dutch Oven Cheesy Potatoes

What you will need:

1 lb bacon
3 to 4 onions diced
5 lbs potatoes
1 lb cheddar cheese grated
1 pint sour cream
salt and pepper

Fry bacon until crisp in 12" oven.  Remove from oven, but leave drippings.  Add onions to bacon grease and cook until clear.  Add potatoes, bacon, and salt and pepper to taste.  Stir to coat the potatoes with grease.  Cover and cook for 1 hour (350F).  8 coals on bottom, 17 on top.  Carefully fold in cheese and sour cream, cook for 10 more minutes.

We love to eat these potatoes anytime we go camping.  They are very yummy (not healthy but yummy), and easy to do.  Sometimes I even make them for dinner if I have potatoes at home that I need to use.  They are just as good baked in the oven.  Hope you enjoy!
