Best Dutch Oven Recipes
Dutch Oven Meats
One of my favorite ways to use the Dutch oven, is making meats. The Dutch oven is a great way to simmer tougher (and usually cheaper) cuts of meat like pork shoulder or chuck roast. This typically results in a really tender and juicy meat!
One Pot Meals
There's nothing better than throwing together dinner in one-pot, am I right?! The Dutch oven, due to its larger size and tall height, is great for one pot meals that can meld the flavors together. This makes a deliciously flavorful and healthy dish all in one.
Soups and Stews
The best and easiest recipes to make in a Dutch oven, are soups and stews. That's pretty much what Dutch ovens were created for! The size of Dutch ovens lend itself perfectly to simmering soups and stews over time to result in juicy and flavorsome dishes.
Pastas
Making pasta in the Dutch oven has never been easier! The Dutch oven, with its tall height, is perfect to making sauces and one-pot pasta dishes. Plus, who doesn't like less cleaning afterwards?
