Oops, forgot one more.

 

Foil Dinner ingredients, but boil the potatoes and carrots separately. (No brainer, one big pot) Brown all the hamburger and onions in a DO. (dump in and stir around until onions look cooked) Take out hamburer/onions, and put equal amounts of water/flour in bottom and make a gravy rue, thinning with milk (1/2 stick butter 1/4 C flour, cook to make sure flour is cooked (little browned). Dump hamburger back in. Separate the potatoes and carrots. Mash potatoes and add butter and brown sugar to carrots. You'll never go back to foil dinners again.

OK I'm getting hungry now.

 

A neighboring troop put together a great DO cookbook and reference guide which is now available online at

http://www.macscouter.com/COOKING/DutchOven.asp

 

or the PDF version is

I've know one of the editors for years (same church) and he has now switched over to our troop. (He married into it)

 

In a different direction, we have had some good luck in trying cooking directly over an open fire (old school Boy scouts) ie biscuit dough in a 1/2 orange peel,

 

Biscuit dough wrapped around a large stick to create a bowl, toasting over a fire, then filling with soup or stew.
