I just picked up a Dutch Oven last week, it’s the first time I’ve ever owned one, so far I’ve cooked a stew and also roast chicken and it turned out great.

What are your go to Dutch Oven recipes?

    I bake sourdough bread with my Dutch oven.

      This is the only thing I have actually ever used mine for and it was still worth the money. Everything else I would cook in it ends up in a slower cooker or a pressure cooker.

      I came here to yell, “MAKE BREAD!!!” I’m glad to see someone beat me.

      There’s the famous no-knead bread recipe which works great in a Dutch oven. You need some patience to make it but the resulting bread is incredible.

    I’ve made Bean and Ham soup in an enameled Dutch Oven, and a Sirloin Tip Roast in my regular Dutch Oven. Roast Recipe This is my first comment, I hope the link works :) I had made different recipe and found that cast iron on Med High doesn’t play well with oil added to the hot pan. Thank goodness I chose my Dutch Oven, because the lid was right there to smother the flames. Yikes!

    If you like Mexican food, Chile Colorado or Chile Verde are great

    I find chili works well in Dutch ovens and again later in Dutch ovens.

    I like to make a variation zuppa tuscana (the olive garden soup) in mine.

    • 1lb spicy italian sausage
    • 1lb bacon, cut small
    • 4-6 big potatos depending on size, cut small
    • 1 onion, diced
    • 1 bulb garlic, crushed
    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 1 big box of chicken broth
    • 1 bag spinach
    • Crushed red pepper

    Brown the sausage with red pepper first then remove. Start to cook onions and garlic then add and cook bacon. Add broth and potatoes. Once potatoes are cooked add sausage back in. Finish with heavy cream and spinach. The whole bag of spinach seems crazy at first but it will shrink fast.

    This clam chowder recipe is really good too: https://www.spendwithpennies.com/new-england-clam-chowder/

    They’re awesome for pasta sauce. I sautee a diced onion and tomato paste in olive oil, add a ton of chopped garlic, and then a couple large cans of tomatoes (or peeled whole tomatoes if available). Add 1/4-1/2 cup of red wine, some salt, perhaps mushrooms and herbs, and simmer for 20 minutes and then put in the oven at about 360 for 2-2.5 hours. It takes way less stirring then on the stovetop and comes out very nicely reduced and flavorful.
