Easy Outdoor Dutch Oven Recipes?

I have just acquired a 12" deep DO and would like any recommendations for easy DO recipes for a guy just starting out. Thanks.
  • X3 on Byron's site. That may lead you to others, too, but it's a great place to start. Let us know how it goes for you!

    Double ditto. Wife just made a pot roast.
    Sprinkle salt and pepper on a boneless chuck roast.
    Get your d.o. hot on your coals; add a couple Tbsp of oil.
    Sear your meat both sides about 3 minutes each.
    Add enough chicken stock or water or alcoholic beverage of choice until up to the edge of the meat.
    Put lid on and pile hot coals on lid (I put on at least 20)
    After 50 minutes start another batch of coals
    Cut a ginormous onion in half and put in pot on top of roast
    When coals are ready brush ashes off lid; add more liquid if it's nearly dry; put back on pot; pile newly hot coals on top
    After another hour and 15 minutes check to see if roast can easily shred with fork; if it does stuff your fork full of tender meat in your mouth to taste test. Take several more tests to be sure. Leave a little for everyone else .
