Utensils: Dutch Oven: Prepare charcoal (35 pieces) for Dutch Oven baking.

*********Dutch Oven Ham Casserole
This casserole is good for breakfast or dinner. It is sort of like a quiche but not so eggy. For a big Dutch oven use more ham/cheese/corn and double the topping. You can also add in anything you like such as black olives, onions, mushrooms, etc.
INGREDIENTS:
•cubed ham
•corn niblets
•shredded cheese
•Italian seasoning
•1/2 cup baking mix (Bisquik)
•1 cup milk
•2 eggs
PREPARATION:
Line a Dutch oven with foil all the way up the sides and grease or use non-stick spray. Put a 1/2 inch layer of ham on the bottom, then a layer of corn and a layer of cheese, and then sprinkle on some Italian seasoning.
Mix the milk, eggs, and Bisquik until well blended. Pour on top of ham/corn/cheese layers making sure the liquid is evenly distributed. Cook for about 1/2 hour (about 350 degrees) until casserole sets up. To serve pull the foil out of the Dutch oven and peel it away from the casserole and cut into wedges.
Servings: 6 – 8
Preparation time: 45 minutes

Have you seen this site below its amazing.
YES! now what was your question?
There are a lot of sites out there for this..that’s how I learned …just google dutch oven..or camp cooking. My husband found a lot through camping forums. And those seem to be the tried and true ones.
I saw a show on Food Network about it. It looks like fun! If I get ambitious I might get some equipment and try it myself!
I am not but my dad was. He had a hole in the back of our yard that he would use to put the dutch oven into. He would furst heat bricks in the oven in the house or if we were camping in the fire. Place them into the bottom of his pit. Then he would put hot coals on top. His dutch oven on top of that and then some more coals. Throw on a few more heated bricks and then cover the hole. He had two of them one for cakes and pies and one main dish. He did this because he had made some fish and then a few weeks later tried to do a cake and could not get the fish taste out of the cast iron. But he did everything, stews, roasts, fish, etc…..I grew up a girl scout and my brother grew up a boy scout with my dad as his leader. So he was really into this stuff. He now has MS and all of this equipment had to be sold but he misses it. One of our cousins bought the stuff and will have my dad go over to his place so that he can still cook these foods for everyone…..
