Tasty Cheesy Potatoes
(Use 12 “ seasoned Dutch Oven w/ legs)
Ingredients for shopping list:
1 lb bacon
2 whole onions
2 green peppers
12 medium potatoes
1 lb sharp cheddar cheese
¼ lb Swiss or other white cheese
1 can mushrooms
Garlic powder (optional)
Salt & pepper
25 charcoal “light n go” briquettes
PAM vegetable spray
Matches
How To:
Make sure
you have heavy gloves ready, and lid lifter nearby before you begin.
Stack charcoal briquettes in a pile and light about 15m before cooking
begins. Let them get WHITE before
using.
Spray PAM into Dutch oven. Over a stove, fry
bacon in Dutch oven until it begins to crumble.
Then to the bacon, add onions, peppers and mushrooms until onions begin to
get “clear”. After, add potatos. Salt, pepper to taste.
Mix together, and then put the lid on.
Place 8-10 briquettes evenly underneath oven, and remaining on the lid
evenly.
This will allow all the potatoes to cook uniformly without stirring.
Check it every 5-10 minutes. It
will take about 45 minutes. It’s DONE
when you can easily insert a fork into a potato.
When done, slice or grate the cheese evenly over the top of the
potatoes. Replace the lid.
When the cheese has melted completely, remove from heat, and it’s ready to
eat.
