Dutch Oven Kielbasa with "Both Potatoes"

I got the recipe for this Dutch Oven one-pot meal from the scoutmaster of another local boy scout troop several years ago, and have been making it ever since for both family meals and scouting events. It's quick, easy and popular with both boys and adults for its sweet and savory flavor and cooks up in 40 minutes or so in a #12 deep dish Dutch Oven (8Qt.)

This Dutch Oven recipe featuring low-fat turkey kielbasa is as easy as it gets.

 

Ingredients

• 3-4 medium white potatoes.
• 2 sweet potatoes.
• 1 large onion, sliced into rings.
• 1 turkey kielbasa
• 4 tbsp. margarine
• 2-3 tbsp. brown sugar
• salt and pepper

 

Directions

There isn't much mystery to this meal, which makes it perfect for the kids to take the lead on.  You just peel and slice your potatoes (the thinner they are, the faster they cook), onions, and kielbasa and put them in the oven.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to mix.  Then, add the butter in 4 or 5 pats to the top and sprinkle with brown sugar.  For an additional veggie, carrots make a great addition to this Dutch Oven one-pot meal.

In 72 degree weather with calm winds, I'd add maybe 12 coals underneath and 16 above (temp of 375 or so) and cook for 40 minutes or until the potatoes and onions are tender,

Serves 6.
