Make it a Dutch Oven Valentine's Day and Impress Her

Wow that special someone with a delicious treat cooked fresh in your Camp Chef Dutch oven. Cast iron cookware has been the preferred pot of outdoor chefs for centuries -- and now it's working its way into your hearts, homes and kitchens. Show your Valentine how much your care by preparing a Dutch oven dinner right in the kitchen. A menu complete with appetizer, roast and veggies and dessert is sure to delight.

Start off this lover's feast with bacon-wrapped mushrooms. Simply wrap small, whole mushrooms with strips of bacon and hold in place with a toothpick. Place on upper roasting rack of the Ultimate Dutch Oven while the roast and veggies cook below.

Now, I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's talk about how to get that roast going. Take a 5 lb roast and brown the outside in the Dutch oven's skillet/lid. Then, place the roast into the base of the Ultimate Dutch Oven on the lower rack. Add potato halves and large carrot sticks around the roast. Pour a can of your favorite juice or beverage over the top of the roast and veggies. Sprinkle Italian seasoning flakes over the top and set on top of your kitchen burner at medium high heat. Cooks in about 35 minutes. Check meat with thermometer to ensure doneness.

Exchange gifts before moving on to dessert, just to make sure you have captive audience.

For dessert, how about baking up a little Peach Cobbler in your new 5-inch Camp Chef oven? This new member of the Advantage Cast Iron family is the hottest oven on the market. At 1 qt volume, this oven is the perfect size for single serving dishes, for preparing sauces and salsas or for use as a unique bowl. Be sure to serve your Peach Cobbler topped with vanilla bean ice cream.

If all goes well, you'll have a Valentine feast to remember. So even if the gifts don't make a lasting impression, your meal will definitely impress -- with success.
