When I think of cooking in a dutch oven, I instantly think of comfort food like, stroganoff and jambalaya. We use a dutch oven to cook in when we go camping and if we’re out in the cooler fall months, one of our go to meals is this easy lasagna recipe.

I originally found it over at Everyday Dutch Oven, but have made just a few adaptions to suit our family. This comforting meal doesn’t take very long to make and only has 7 ingredients. I tend to make the ground beef before we leave home to alleviate a step and make the process even faster when at the campsite. It can be tricky to get the hang of cooking with a dutch oven outdoors, I’d suggest using about 12 coals on the bottom and around 16-18 on the top to maintain right around the 375 degree temperature.

If you’re going camping with a group, this is such an easy lasagna recipe to throw together and feeds quite a few people. We’ve made it several times when camping with family and it has always been a hit.
