The cold weather has had me craving meat and potatoes and what could be easier than a one pot meatloaf dinner cooked in your dutch oven? This fairly simple, no-nonsense recipe from Hunt's makes a very tender and juicy meatloaf that everyone will like. In my 10 inch deep dutch oven, the meatloaf baked for 55 minutes with 10 coals in a ring around the bottom and 22 on top. In spite of it being a blustery day, I left it undisturbed and when I went to take it off the coals, it was perfectly done. Scatter potatoes, carrots, onions or whatever root vegetables you like around the meatloaf to make the meal complete.

umm looks good - I will put this on my list to try next time we go camping - I don't use my dutch oven at home normally but if I don't go camping much this summer I might start to use it when the weather gets hot and I don't want the oven on.
ReplyDeleteMan, that looks both easy and tasty. I got lots of "root vegetables" that I'd happily throw in there to bake away. On my list for making next week.
ReplyDeleteHope you like the recipe! Liddy
ReplyDeleteJennifer made this the other day. It was really easy, and everyone wanted seconds. Perfect! Root vegetables used: beets, parsnips (yum!), taters, carrots and turnips.
ReplyDeleteThose veggies sound great C.W., glad to hear your dinner turned out so well, Liddy
DeleteMade this recipe for my brother, who is a self described meatloaf aficionado. He was also new to dutch oven cooking, and was surprised by the result which he rated quite highly (considering he is soooo critical!) To my surprise he ordered a 10" Lodge dutch oven to take to London. Hmmmm... I wish him luck- pip!pip!
ReplyDeleteThanks again, Liddy, for a solid winner!
Glad the meatloaf was a success Frenchy, hope your brother enjoys his new oven, Liddy
ReplyDeleteDo you cook with the lid on or off?
