Dutch Oven Cooking

I just spent a week at Girl's Camp-where I participated in a Dutch Oven Cook Off Contest.  I have NEVER cooked using a Dutch Oven.  I figured it was about time I learned.  Following is a chart I found that I thought would be helpful as I begin this quest to learn the art of Dutch Oven Cooking.  Look for several Dutch Oven recipes to come as I embark on this endeavor.
