We continue our Dutch Oven series today with a wonderful recipe. We are baking a delicious "Beef Steak Pie" from Amelia Simmon's 1796 cookbook, "American Cookery." Baking this recipe in a Dutch oven is very easy if you use the techniques we have learned in previous episodes. And seriously, this is one recipe that calls for mushroom ketchup! Be sure to cook cook this slowly -- around 300-degrees (F) for a couple of hours. Enjoy!
The Dutch oven was perfectly suited for use on the frontier. One can fry in it, make stews and soups with it, as well as bake in it. While the first two cooking methods are fairly easy, baking with a Dutch oven can be a little intimidating. With a few hints and a little experimentation and practice, baking in this 18th-century pot can be easy and rewarding.
