Quick Answer
Most popular Dutch oven recipes for camping trips include hearty stews, roasted meats, and classic campfire casseroles that can be cooked over an open flame.
Dutch Oven Stews
When it comes to Dutch oven stews, a popular recipe is the classic beef stew. Brown 1 pound of beef cubes in a skillet, then transfer them to the Dutch oven with 2 cups of beef broth, 1 cup of diced carrots, and 1 cup of diced potatoes. Cover the pot and simmer for 2 hours over low heat. Serve with crusty bread for a satisfying meal.
Roasted Meats
For roasted meats, try a simple recipe like slow-cooked chicken. Season 2 whole chickens with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs, then place them in the Dutch oven with 1 cup of chicken broth. Cover the pot and roast over medium heat for 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let the chickens rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Campfire Casseroles
For a classic campfire casserole, try a Dutch oven lasagna. Layer 8 lasagna noodles, 1 cup of marinara sauce, and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese in the pot. Repeat the layers two more times, finishing with a layer of cheese on top. Cover the pot and bake over medium heat for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
