My weekend was…

DELICIOUS!

It was a weekend of a little bit of experimentation and a lot of good food.  Yes, I'm talking dutch oven cooking again.

Ever since my younger son had dutch oven pizza at cub scouts, I've been wanting to try it out.  On Saturday, I gave it a shot.  I made the pizza dough and after it rose, I split it in half and spread it into the bottom of two dutch ovens.  I added homemade pizza sauce, cooked italian sausage and lots of cheese.  After baking the pizzas for about a half hour, they came out deliciously.  The crust was really puffy and wasn't as crispy as when we cook them on the pizza stone in the oven, but it was VERY delicious.

Then, on Sunday, I made pulled pork sandwiches and baked beans in my dutch ovens.  I put the pork loin in the oven and cooked it at about 250 degrees from 10:30 in the morning until about 4:45 in the afternoon.  It was EASY to pull apart with forks.  I added a little more barbecue sauce and piled it on toasted buns with cole slaw, and pickles.  The baked beans had pork & beans (of course) with bacon, garbanzo beans, lima beans, and kidney beans.  Added to that concoction was brown sugar, white sugar, dry mustard, and some other spices.
