How to cook deliciously - Dutch Oven Cheesy Bacon & Eggs

1. Stage

Prepare campfire or grill for medium-high heat, using 32-36 charcoal briquettes or large wood chips.

2. Stage

In a 10-in. Dutch oven, cook bacon over campfire until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard drippings, reserving 2 tablespoons in pan.

3. Stage

Carefully press potatoes onto bottom and 1 in. up side of Dutch oven. In a small bowl, whisk eggs, cream and, if desired, pepper sauce until blended. Pour over potatoes; sprinkle with cooked bacon and cheese.

4. Stage

Cover Dutch oven. When briquettes or wood chips are covered with white ash, place Dutch oven directly on top of 16-18 briquettes. Using long-handled tongs, place 16-18 briquettes on pan cover.

5. Stage

Cook 20-25 minutes or until eggs are completely set and cheese is melted. To check for doneness, use tongs to carefully lift cover. If necessary, cook 5 minutes longer.
