Bacon Spuds Dutch Oven Recipe

Ingredients:
1 large potato per person
1/3 onion per person
2 or 3 slices bacon per person
salt and pepper
Instructions:
Heat dutch oven on coals for Frying.
Slice the bacon into small pieces.
Peel and cut onions into 1/8ths and break them apart.
Peel spuds and slice into 1/4 inch thick slices.
Dump the bacon in the dutch oven and stir until about half cooked.
Spread the bacon evenly over the bottom of the dutch oven.
Spread the onions on the bacon.
Pour the spuds on the onions.
Shake quite a bit of salt and pepper on top.

Cover and Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. The bacon grease in the bottom should keep things from burning, but it's fine to check if you're getting antsy.
The spuds are done when they are tender to a fork.

Serves 6 to 8.

Notes:
Don't make more than 6 servings in one dutch oven or there will be too much to cook well.

All recipes use a 12-inch dutch oven, unless specified.
If you have a 10-inch dutch oven, use about 2/3 to 3/4 of the ingredient amounts but keep the temperature and time about the same.
If you have an 8-inch dutch oven, use about 1/2 of the ingredient amounts but keep the temperature and time about the same.
If no temperature is listed, use 350 degrees.
See Heat Settings page for temperature and coal placement

Our spuds were soft about 30 mins in.  We served with a bit of sour cream.  This made a perfect amount for about 6 people.
