Dutch Oven Cobbler- Sure To Be A Hit At Your Next Campout

Dutch Oven Cobbler

Ingredients:

1 can of cherry pie filling 
1 can of crushed pineapple 
1 box of yellow cake mix (not the pudding-type) 
1 cube butter 
1 small package of chopped walnuts 
Directions:

Dump both cans of fruit on the bottom of a foil-lined 12″ dutch oven (spray with pam cooking spray before lining with tin foil). 
Spread the yellow cake mix evenly on top of the filling (just pour it right out of the package). 
Dice the cube of butter in small chunks and drop it as evenly as possible on top of the cake mix. 
Sprinkle the chopped walnuts on top of the mix. 
Cover and bake around 350 degrees for about 45-50 minutes – you want the top of the cobbler brown and bubbly, and not too dark. (I use 22-23 briquettes, with around 9 underneath the oven. I don’t replace them during cooking). 
Rotate the oven AND the lid every 15 minutes. 
The butter melts into the cake mix and it comes out so good. As you can see it’s a very easy dessert to make. While it’s baking the scent of pineapple and cherry starts to flow around you. I think I’ve had a request to make this at every campout I’ve been on.

Instead of cherry pie filling you could add a can of blackberries – it tastes good with them too. And you can try different fruits to suit your taste, even fresh fruits. (If you use fresh fruit you should mix them with a little sugar first.)

Top it off with some whip cream and you are set for the evening! And if you can smuggle some vanilla ice cream to the campout, this is great a-la-mode.

Dutch Oven Cooking With SOME Cheating

Dutch oven cooking with just a little cheating. Yes I said cheating as you will see. We were having a hard time browning bacon fast enough. When your cooking for 16 people it's all about the speed. Hey Mr Joe whats for lunch, whats for supper and whats for snack tends to make a body rush at times. Especially when it's times 10 and your cooking in a dutch oven. All and all it was perfect and there were no leftovers so I guess it was great. Yum....Yum. It's a great art. I do mean art. It will take alot of practice but we have plenty of time and plenty of Guinea pigs to test on. Thanks Troop 51 hope your all full and you enjoyed the great food. In the pot is Mountain Man Breakfast which was....GONE in just 10 minutes. It was GREAT.
