PORTOBELLO CAP PIZZA
This is just a teaser for a more in depth recipe we hope to soon post. You can do these in a Dutch Oven or in your kitchen oven on a cookie sheet. While an individual #3 cast iron skillet, for each cap, provides even better presentation.
Here is the rough Recipe for two servings.
2 large Portobello Caps
Remove any stem
Pre browned Ground Turkey with fennel and other spices to mimic sausage.
We used ground turkey and our own spices. You could brown any store bought sausage. Or substitute with pepperoni, or other favorite meat/protein topping.

We made a correction to our Hamburger Bun Recipe
For those of you that subscribe to our email list. Please be aware we made an edit to the Hamburger Bun Recipe.
It was brought to our attention that we omitted the yeast and its measurement in the ingredient list. We did have it in the instruction area. Most experienced cooks might catch this right away and be able to wing it without the measurement.
We made the correcting edit today. If you printed out the original recipe, please throw that copy away, and reprint a new copy. Sorry for any confusion.
For those that don’t know. The recipes have a “Printer” icon near the top for your convenience. Just click to print. No need to mess with copy and paste methods.

PERFECT SIZE FOR TWO
How many of you have multiple pieces of Cast Iron Cookware? I certainly have way too big of a collection. Probably borderline hoarder? Actually, no “probably” about it. LOL!
From Skillets to Dutch Ovens, to other iron in between. They are meant to be used and not just sit on the shelf. I try to put many of them to real use from time to time.
Often times I find myself returning to my #8 Cast Iron Dutch Ovens. I have three of the more modern Lodge in this size.
I find them perfectly sized when cooking for two people….perhaps even large enough for four depending on what you cook or bake. No need to waste expensive charcoal. Most things can be baked or cooked with 15-16 properly arranged briquets.
See our thoughts on Heat Management or Coal Counting.
I find the 8 inch Dutch Ovens especially ideal for camping. While their larger cousins are great for competition cooking, large pot-luck’s, or cooking/baking for more people or a larger than two family. My go to Dutch Oven for camping trips is my 8 inch. The smaller size makes their weight insignificant.
These are great for a small batch of morning biscuits or pastries. Able to produce those hot and fresh goodies while waking up to some fresh coffee. If you want a full blown breakfast, bake up a Dutch Oven Mountain Man Breakfast.

A Biscuit kind of morning
Some cold mornings you just have to reach for the buttermilk, real butter, and just be Bad!
Real old fashioned biscuit making is a lost art in many families. A generation away it was common. “Canned” biscuits are something more recent.
If you have never had real homemade biscuits you are really missing a delightful breakfast addition. Fresh and warm just out of your oven, they can’t be beat.
Its even more fun if you have vintage biscuit cutters and bake these in a cast iron Dutch Oven using charcoal or wood coals.
