Family Party & Dutch Oven Recipes...

Nettie from Singing a Verse of my Song is in town, so our family all got together on Saturday night for a party. It was lots of fun to get together and visit. And the cousins had a ball playing together.

My husband and I did some dutch oven cooking for dinner that night. I was asked for my recipes. I thought I would post them here for everyone.

Dutch Oven Potatoes
5 lbs. potatoes, peeled and sliced (put in salt water to preven browning)
1 lb. bacon, chopped into small pieces
1 med. onion, chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Fry onion and bacon in dutch oven until bacon is crisp and onion is soft. Add potatoes and salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender. Add salt water from potatoes if they start to look too dry.

Peach Cobbler
2 29 oz. cans of sliced peaches, drained
1 box yellow cake mix
1/4 cup butter, in small pieces
1 can lemon-lime soda
cinnamon sugar

Oil dutch oven. Place peaches on bottom and sprinkle dry cake mix over the top. Dot top with butter chunks. Pour lemon-lime soda over the top. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Cook until dry cake mix is moist, and areas are cakey (?). Watch carefully...those peaches will burn easily.

Seasoned Fried Chicken
2 lbs. boneless, skinless, chicken breasts, cut into strips or chunks
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1 cup flour
2 tsps. garlic salt
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. poultry seasoning
Oil for frying

Beat buttermilk and egg together. Mix flour with seasonings in a zip-lock bag. Coat chicken pieces with flour mixture. Dip pieces into egg/buttermilk mixture and then back into the flour mixture. (This is messy, but so worth it!) Fry in hot oil (365) until golden, and chicken is thoroughly cooked. I had leftover egg/buttermilk and flour mixtures, so I mixed them together into a batter and used it to make fried onion rings. They were yummy!
