Old Fashioned Dutch Oven Potatoes

This is a Dutch oven classic for camping and backyard grilling. Enjoy!

Old Fashioned Dutch Oven Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 1/2 package of bacon, diced
• 1 large onion, cut into large pieces
• 1 large spoonful of minced garlic
• 5 lbs golden potatoes, sliced
• 2 cans cream of chicken soup
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or more)
• salt, pepper and garlic salt to taste

Directions:

1. Heat Dutch oven to 350 degrees. 
2. Cook bacon and onions until done (bacon is crispy and onions are golden). A minute or so before your onions and bacon are done, add a spoonful of minced garlic and stir for just a minute. 
3. Then add your potatoes and stir. Cover and cook for 40-45 minutes or until your potatoes are tender (how long depends on how thin you slice them). 
4. Once the potatoes are done cooking, add your soup and cheese, stir, and recover until heated through and the cheese is melted. Season with salt, pepper and garlic to taste.

Marsha's Notes:

Scott noted that he most often only gets about 45 minutes of good cooking time with a single batch of briquettes, and these potatoes can take about an hour to complete, so they might require two batches of coals.
