Dutch Oven Ideas

My favorite: Pot Roast with carrots, potatoes and onions. Great flavor and fall-apart tender. Many good recipes in the forum recipe section.

For the Forth of July I cook jambalya in a Dutch Oven on my BGE, it comes out great and everybody loved it.

Here's how I made it:
2 chicken breast, 4 boneless thighs, 4 links sausage
Cook the chicken and sausage on the BGE on grid direct method. Remove the meat and place on side for later.
Set the egg up indirect with place setter and pizza stone, temp at 380*
On you stove top:
In the dutch oven brown 6 cups onions, some bell peppers, and celery until clear in a stick of butter.
Add chicken and sausage. A little salt and pepper and some of your favorite Cajun seasoning. Simmer and then add 3 cups uncooked rice add 4 cups water and 1 can chicken broth. Now add 6-8 toes chopped garlic.
Stir and bring to a boil. Place Dutch oven in BGE on the pizza stone and cook uncovered for 1 hour.
If you want smokey flavor you can use a little pecan wood for no smoke flavor then use the lid on the dutch oven.
Note: the pictures do not show the set-up using the plate setter and stone. I didn't take pictures the time I used the indirect method , it did come out better using with the indirect set-up.

hey ron good to see you!!

here is one that i love i actually brought it to the nge event at kims house last year

Chili, Cornbread, Pie

When I got home last night there was nothing in the fridge but some suspect hot dogs and wilted carrots.... and after searching through the kitchen for a while, things weren't looking too promising for dinner.Opening the freezer, there it was ..... a quart of chili made a couple months back... and looking through the cupboards, there was fixins for cornbread. I like cornbread with chili and having remembered seeing a recipe for combining the two, I thought I'd wing it.


1/2 chopped onion
~ 1 14 oz. can creamed corn
about 1/2 cup of milk
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
dollop of mayo (no eggs and couldn't think what else to use)
about 1.5 cups of yellow cornmeal
3 tsp baking powder



1 Fill the bottom of a 12" cast iron skillet with about a quart of chili.
2 Mix well. Try to keep the mixture from getting too thick or too thin..... it should just pour out of the bowl.
3 Evenly pour over the chili and bake until brown on top.
4 Have a moment of silence for the greens, crack a PBR and eat.

i changed it a bit after i made it a couple times i added browned hamburger meat to the chili because i think my chili was too runny.. i also cube some chedder cheese and push it into the cornbread mix after i pour it over the chili!!

this was my first one notice how the chili has boiled up to cause discoloration in the cornbread



here is one i did later i was much happier with the outcome



give it a shot when you get time


hope alls well with you

How about braising some short ribs in the Dutch Oven? I see you have an Egg foot in your picture, did you raise the Dutch Oven off of the plate setter with a couple of feet? :huh:
