Skookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

Awhile back I reviewed the Skookie cookie maker from Santé Cookware, you can see the post here: Skookies, It’s Cookie Heaven. Basically you are baking a giant cookie on the grill. It’s a lot of fun for the kids and it adds a really unique flavor to the cookie itself.

I, of course had to take it to the next level and make  Giant Ice Cream Sandwiches out of two Skookies! The boys loved them so much we had to take them to the Cub Scout meeting that night and share with everyone.

Here are the pictures showing how I made a Giant Skookie Ice Cream Sandwich:

It’s just a DOG! Or is it just a Dutch oven Gathering?

I had the great pleasure of meeting up with the Central California Dutch oven Adventures group a couple of weeks ago at Lodi lake in Lodi, California. The weather was awesome and the food, well, beyond awesome. Great friends make this even more fun and there were quite a few of my friends there! Thanks everyone for cooking with me and letting me cook with you!

Thought I would share some pictures with you:

Chipotle Cheddar Chile Beer Bread

4416606439 06ddec1cc6 m Chipotle Cheddar Chile Beer BreadSometimes inspiration strikes and it all comes together. Dutch oven, Beer, Bread, Cheese, my favorite sauce and Cooking Outdoors. For me it was exciting because I love to create new recipes and this time I actually wrote it down to share. How many times have you managed to put a fantastic meal together from scratch and then say “I need to write that down”. Whoops, all gone …

Not this time, I tell ya!

Beer bread, the ultimate outdoor cooking bread. Fast, easy and requires beer, I love it.

Ingredients

3 cups self rising flour

3 tbls sugar

1 tps salt

8oz Chipotle Cheddar Cheese (I used Bravo Farms Original Chipotle 4416599333 706ce026e9 m Chipotle Cheddar Chile Beer BreadCheddar)

1 small can diced Chiles (Hot or Mild) undrained

2 tbls All Spice Cafe Chipotle Garlic Sauce

1 can of beer (Cheap can like Pabst Blue Ribbon)

Preparation

Cube the Chipotle Cheddar Cheese up and add to all of the other dry ingredients, mix thoroughly. Now add your All Spice Cafe Chipotle Garlic Sauce and beer, mix till it is blended (do not over mix, lumpy is good). Poor this into a grease 10″ Dutch oven or a Bread loaf pan for the grill. It will look like a wet glob of flour and that is perfect. No rising or kneading necessary.

Bake at 350° F for 40 minutes. Outdoor  Cooking with a 10″  Camp Dutch oven will require 7 coals on the bottom and 13 coals on the top. Grilling your Beer Bread will require indirect heat.

Warm Beer bread with a slight kick to it! The cheese was gooey and tasty, crust had a wonderful crunchiness to it. Great for sopping up some soup or sauces! But, I ate mine just as it was, warm, crunchy, gooey and delicious!

This was a big hit at the last Dutch oven Gathering I was at. I you try this recipe, please let me know what you think!
