Dutch Oven Redux
Desert Lil's Delicacies
Dutch Oven ReduxHi, y'all! I have a camping recipe that I love. Use a dutch oven, about 8 charcoals under and about 6 on the lid. The amount of ingredients depends on how much you like each. Ingredients
Actually, anything you like on it. And can be made lower fat, etc. (and is good that way, too.) Fry the bacon or whatever in the dutch oven lid and set aside. Put the biscuits in the bottom of the dutch oven and press them together. Cover and bake the biscuits about 15 minutes. Then add the remaining ingredients, layering them, cheese on top. Bake until the eggs are set and biscuits look brown around the edges, about 15-25 minutes. I like to put tobasco sauce on my slices, but I like hot and spicy. Your reader, |

The Saguaro Video
The Saguaro often begins life in the shelter of a "nurse" tree or shrub which can provide a shaded, moister habitat for the germination of life. The Saguaro grows very slowly -- perhaps an inch a year -- but to a great height, 15 to 50 feet.
Desert Food Chain Video
A food chain constitutes a complex network of organisms, from plants to animals, through which energy, derived from the sun, flows in the form of organic matter and dissipates in the form of waste heat.
