One of the many great things about the cooking community on YouTube is the wide variety of awesome video recipes which are presented by folks who truly enjoy sharing their passion for food.
It is in this spirit that I attempt to recreated a Dutch Oven dish which I saw over at Outdoor Cast Iron Cooking.
Thank you to Joanie & Dean for posting your great videos, the food you present and the locations you film are always awesome.
Here is a meal called Pigs In A Cornfield - with a name like that you know it has to be incredible!
After watching their video of Pigs In A Cornfield, we knew that we had to set aside a day to be outdoors and cook this one up.
Here is what we cooked and how we cooked it.
Our version has a few different ingredients and the cooking method was different as well. I cooked this over a wood fire and used some small lit logs on top. Using briquettes is a more accurate way to regulate your temperatures, but for me, a wood fire is more fun. We used a 12” Dutch oven.

Place the lid on and get cooking
My Dutch oven was set on a rack which is about 8 inches above the floor of my cooking area. Before starting the food prep I started a fire going with some charcoal and a few small splits of oak. As the wood burned down I just added more splits until there was a good coal bed and some nice sized chucks.
Once the Dutch over was full of ingredients it was placed on the rack with a some of the hot coals moved underneath. Also a couple of small chunks were placed on top.
The coal method was calling for 8 coals under and sixteen on top. I kept this is mind while using the oak splits.
After one hour I removed the lid and flipped the pork steaks. The aroma was very, very nice and the dish was happily bubbling away.
Place the cover on and cook for one more hour with the same method, keeping the coal bed going and keeping nice hot chunks on top.
After the second hour I just took the Dutch oven off the fire, cleaned off the lid and let it sit for 20 minutes to cool a bit.
I will say that this was a great meal for a cool autumn evening, very hearty and satisfying.
Flavor wise it was well balance, the taters were perfect and heat level from the Southwest Sunset was really nice. I like the pork steaks and the sausage was excellent. I will say that the next time I make this I will forego the Kielbasa. Not that it was bad, but it seemed a little overkill and Kielbasa tastes better in other dishes.
All in all this was a very fun and tasty cook and I hope that you give it a try.
As Always, Thank You For Reading!
