New Lodge Dutch Oven - Give me some ideas

Terrebandit · April 2014

I snagged this 7-quart beauty at my local Walmart for a discounted price (damaged box). I've always wanted one for cooking on the BGE. I need some ideas on things I could make with it. Any suggestions? Photos welcome.

Brisket chili.

Sausage, hashbrowns, cream of celery, cream of mushroom, chicken broth, salt, pepper... Get a mad soup going.

Or butter, yellow cake mix, peaches, eggs, milk, brown sugar... Get a mad cobbler going.

Pork and Sauerkraut has been one of my favorites with mine. Here is a cook from last year:

I heard that you shouldn't use tomato-based soups or sauces in cast iron pots. Is that misinformation?

GATABITES · April 2014

Don't cook using tomatoes or any other high acid food...it will eat the seasoning off. Bad for pot, bad for food.

Cowlick chili. The recipe is on this forum. +1 on jambalaya Baked beans. I like white beans with some bacon, onion, and garlic

Scottborasjr · April 2014

I don't think there's a whole lot wrong with using tomato based products in cast iron as long as you clean the pot as soon as it's done cooking and don't let the tomato sit in the pot as it cools.

I've made plenty of chili, soups, taco meat, etc in cast iron on camping trips and in the egg. As long as you cleanse the cast iron soon after removing from heat I haven't had any problems.

But I could be completely wrong as I have nothing scientific to back me up...

Cookinbob · April 2014

I did re-heat some pulled pork with a vinegar based sauce, and got a distinctive iron flavor, so I would avoid acidic foods. The chili I made however did not pick it up - I would say it was not as acidic.

BBQ Baked Beans. I think the recipe in on the BGE website.
