 **Dutch Oven**: This is the latest one I've tackled. I haven't done a ton of dutch oven cooking yet, but what I have has been fun and not too difficult. The hardest part here is translating oven-based recipes to dutch oven with coals recipes. I'm still figuring out how many coals and at what stage of coal produces the best result. I also suspect that there is considerable variation between dutch ovens. Currently I have a [cheapo 10-inch Lodge dutch oven](https://www.amazon.com/Lodge-L10CO3-Cast-Dutch-4-Quart/dp/B00008GKDV/?tag=lxf0d-20){: rel=nofollow}. It works fine, but does not fill me with joy. I'm on the hunt for an older, better model.
 
+Cheap Recipes
 
+# Black Beans and Rice
 
+http://earlyretirementextreme.com/day-3-grocery-shopping.html (48c per serve, 973 kj per serve)
+
+1 cup black beans
+3 cups cooked rice
+2 cloves garlic
+if any leftover meat, throw it in
+1 carrot
+2 c or so kale
+1/2 onion
+1 cup raisins
+1/4 cup soy sauce
+
+---
+
+# Salchipapas
+
+3 sausages or hot dogs
+5 potatoes, cubed and roasted
+
+salsa rosada:
+
+2T Mayo 
+1 sm can tom sauce
+
+This is not a very traditional version of this dish, but there are variations all up and down Latin America. Anyway, here's my variation. I roast the potatoes at 450 for 20 minutes or until they're done. About five minutes before they're done I start frying the sausage or hot dogs. If using the latter, add a little fat of your choice the pan. Once the meat and potatoes are cooked through, combine them, add some tomato sauce, salt, and paper to taste and you're good. Top with some salsa rosada and lime marinated red onion and tomatoes.

+
+American's might know this one as a variation on "poor man's meal", a depression era hot dog and potato skillet recipe. I like the south of the border version a bit more since it has some additional flavor from the lime marinated onions.
