Chicken Stew and Peach Cobbler - Dutch Oven Style

These are both so simple to put together and are OH SO yummy on a cool Fall evening! Try the cobbler with a scoop of butter pecan ice cream. We do them in the dutch oven on the fire pit, but could also be done in your oven.

5 med potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
6 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks

1/4 tsp Cajun seasoning
1/4 tsp Poultry seasoning
8 slices bacon, browned and chopped
2 ribs celery, cut into chunks
4 cups water
2 bouillon cubes
½ stick margerine

Cut margerine into pats and place in the bottom of the dutch oven. Add the other ingredients. Place on the fire and cover the lid with coals. Turn 1/4 turn every 15 mins. At the 30 minute mark, check for doneness and add water if needed.



DO Peach Cobbler

1 qt + 1pt peaches in syrup
