Dutch Oven peach pie

I thought I had published this before, but apparently not, so here is a quick version of the Dutch Oven Peach "Cobbler" which is really a pie.


  • 1 pkg ready-made roll-up pie crust (like Pilsbury). There are two in the package.
  • 1 1/2  16oz package of frozen fruit like peaches, cheeries or what have you. One package is not enough, two is too much.
  • 1 tbl flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • Cinnamon/Sugar mixture
  • 1 stick of butter or margarine, or squeeze Parkay.

Mix the frozen fruit in a gallon zip-lock bag with the sugar and flour. You can do this in advance and put it in your cooler for later in the day.

Like any dutch oven meal, you'll need your coals in advance, so be sure to light them 15 mins before you need them.

Grease a 10-in dutch oven with Pam or butter. Unroll one of the crusts and line the bottom of the pan. Pour in your fruit/sugar mixture. Unroll the second crust and put it on top, pinching the edges together to try and seal together the pie. Spread out slices of butter on the top of the crust, or criss-cross with Parkay. Sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar mixture.

Use 5 or 6 briquettes on the bottom of the oven, and 12 to 14 on the top. Cook for about 45 minutes until the top is golden brown.

Black Bean Taquitos with Cream

This is a modification of a recipe from "Hot & Spicy Mexican." It calls for fresh ingredients like corn cut from the cob and fresh black beans, which is certainly better, but sometimes you just don't have all that.

1/4 cup butter
1 can kernel corn
2 jalapenos, stemmed & chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
2 cans black beans
1/2 cup vegetable oil
15 corn tortillas
2 cups cream

In large saucepan, heat up the butter and add the corn, jalapenos and onions and fry until the onions are translucent. Add the black beans and cook down until the moisture is almost gone.

Heat oil in skillet and briefly fry the tortillas, blotting off the extra oil with paper towel after you pull them out.

Stuff and roll the tortillas with the black bean mixture and place them in a baking dish. Add the grated cheese over the top. Pour in the cream. Cover with foil and bake at 300 degrees until the cheese is melted. If desired, pull off the foil for the last 5 minutes to brown the cheese a little.
