Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler

Not too long ago I bought a Le Creuset Ductch Oven. I LOVE it and found myself asking why I didn't buy one sooner. It is in their new color called Caribbean Blue and it is beautiful. A friend of mine suggested I make a Paula Deen's Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler. I thought that was a great idea.

Isn't she pretty?

Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler
Recipe courtesy of Paula Deen

Ingredients:
2 (16 ounce) cans sliced peaches in heavy or light syrup, or in fruit juice, your choice (I used fresh peaches)
1 pint fresh blueberries, optional
1/2 c. baking mix (recommended: Bisquick)
1/3 c. sugar
Ground cinnamon

Topping:
2 1/4 c. baking mix (recommended: Bisquick)
1/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. (1/2 stick) butter, melted
1/2 c. milk
Cinnamon sugar (1/4 c. sugar combined with 2 tsp. ground cinnamon; store in an empty spice shaker, shake well before each use)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350

Spray Dutch Oven with vegetable oil cooking spray.

Drain 1 can peaches. Combine both cans of peaches, including the juice from undrained can, the blueberries, if using, the baking mix, sugar, and a sprinkling of cinnamon. Place this mixture into the Dutch Oven.

To make topping: Combine biscuit mix, sugar, butter, and milk in resealable plastic bag. Drop bits of dough, using your fingers, on top of the peaches. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
Place Dutch Oven into preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, until top is golden brown and crusty.

Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and it is delish!

You won't be disappointed. My kids wanted seconds....it's that good.

I'm in love

I couldn't help myself.
I had to do it.
It was bound to happen.
Soooo I did it.
I bought one.

I had a Dutch Oven from Lodge Logic, but couldn't keep it seasoned well enough. Never wanted to use it because it's a pain to clean. Caked on food is not fun. Scrubbing caked on food also takes away the seasoning with in the cast iron.

I have been looking at getting one of these for the past 3+ years and decided that it wasn't going to magically appear. Santa wasn't going to be bringing it either. The Easter Bunny doesn't usually do "kitchen" type things.....he's more into the eggs and candy. We all know what the Tooth Fairy brings.....I wasn't willing to yank all my teeth in order to get enough money for a Le Creuset Dutch Oven.

I bit the bullet and I am so happy I did. I bought this about 2 weeks ago and have used it a handful of times. I just wish I had bought it sooner. Don't let the price tag sway you. If you are wanting one, just go get it. You won't be disappointed. I know I'm not.
