Mini dutch oven campfire cooking: cowboy beans, blueberry dutch baby, and roasted pumpkin pie

I'm still a pieiron person -- all the way -- but it's fun to switch things up once in a while. Now that's it's finally cool enough for campfire, I can try out the little dutch oven I got at Daiso! We're making frijoles charros, blueberry dutch baby, and a pumpkin pie of sorts IN the pumpkin!
I got my dutch oven from Daiso for about $12.
If you don’t have Daiso near you, there is a similar one by Stansport on Amazon: amzn.to/4eMGDVl
Dutch Baby for One (or Two)
1/4 c milk
2 eggs
1/4 tsp vanilla
1/3 c flour
dash of salt
lemon zest (juice on the berries, if you would like)
1/4c butter
berries
If you plan to use it in less than 24 hours, you can mix it all ahead of time. Otherwise, mix the wet ingredients together, and add the flour the morning of.
BEANS
a 4:1 water:beans ratio would be much faster than 1:1

Thank you for being adventurous and keeping it real. I love how you experiment and show us the real results. I just did a Halloween solo camp and made pumpkin chicken risotto. I could have fed everyone in my loop. No sense of portions when I'm solo. You've been an inspiration. Keep camping! And keep experimenting. I learn a lot from you.

[@ShoestringMartha]

Pumpkin chicken risotto?? yumm!

[@ESMagillwriter]

@@ShoestringMartha I also made an easy Halloween cocktail, a Ghostini. It was so good!!! I'll have the video available next week. I've got a big event this weekend in San Diego to prep for. And editing videos takes so much time so new video has to wait.

[@tracker5849]

Your risotto sounds good...wish I'd been there...I'd have showed up with my "begging bowl" lol

[@denisearens3347]

Thanks for the recipe! I camp out of a 13ft cargo trailer, and I think that little Dutch oven will be an excellent addition to my kitchen!

[@TheArtisanbard]

Check out Firebox. Pumpkin pie idea looks interesting. The mini pumpkin I usually cut the top out like a lid. Scoop out seeds and pulp. I rub the inside with butter and coat with cinnamon and sugar. Then fill with spice cake batter. Put lid on and wrap in foil and put in coal. It is sooooo good!

[@ShoestringMartha]

Sounds delicious!

[@esousa486]

Ohhhhh, THAT sounds REAL GOOD too 😃😉👍👍

[@tg1cent765]

Yummy and great video. New ideas for cook camping. Thank you for sharing.

[@IShallNotBeSilent]

OMG it is so cute. Perfect for one person. Have a wonderful day!!

[@ShoestringMartha]

You too!

[@tracker5849]

That tiny D oven is adorable!!

[@Playitagaindian]

Thank you for sharing that cute Daiso mini dutch oven, I bought one and baked a mini loaf of sourdough bread in it using my Coleman oven while camping! Turned out great. (265 grams of dough)

[@ShoestringMartha]

That sounds delicious! I love sourdough 😋

[@TikiBirdHouse]

You might want to invest in a laser thermometer so you can monitor your Dutch oven.

[@agitpropartrox]

You are the last person I would have expected to identify a Pantera song randomly lol

[@ShoestringMartha]

I've been exposed to maaannnny different genres during my life 😂

[@stingrayshark9373]

My favorite cooking gadget is Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker. Makes a tasty McMuffin in 5 min & very easy to clean, that's what is important when camping : fast & easy. 😀

[@EdieWeedy]

ELECTRICITY?😮

[@FieldingSmith]

I loved the Hatch green chili season joke. And yeah, beans take forever to cook! One thing you can do to raise the heat would be to put some coals on the lid… but more importantly Daiso?!? I loved Daiso when I lived in Japan. I had no idea they were in the states now.

[@ShoestringMartha]

They are, and expanding rapidly!

[@jettrenning1651]

What a great mini Dutch oven adventure! I love how you’re not afraid to try anything and it always comes out great. Thanks for the videos🙂

[@ShoestringMartha]

That is so sweet, thank you! 😊

Yes it is, and welcome aboard!

[@ac_in_tuc4473]

i love the vids....you get me out camping again...via youtube...thanks so much for sharing....just a little note that could be helpful...cast iron cooking over a campfire is usually better when accompished with hot coals (no flames). just think low and slow and get the iron above the coals not directly on them. thanks again for your videos. i love em!

[@ShoestringMartha]

Thanks for the pro-tips!

[@onlyinparadise4613]

Nice looking Dutch baby! Love eating them 🤤

Hatch green chili season 😂

[@michellejohnson-ochoa3100]

Yum! Charro beans! Maybe you could try making some fresh tortillas too. 🙂 ❤👊🏾

[@ShoestringMartha]

Fresh tortillas are always a good idea!

[@baronepam]

Nice fire, proper bed of coals & all

[@ChristineD8093]

I am not a camp cook, but you sure do inspire me to give it a try…..also you definitely need some whoopin’ for them desserts

[@ShoestringMartha]

Whoopin'? Like a punch in the face? Were they that bad? 😅

I love Diaso

[@bettykroll]

I don’t have a Daiso anywhere near me, but I’ll be in AZ soon. I’m hoping they still have the little cast iron pot. I love it!

[@ShoestringMartha]

There are a few in the Valley. The first time I checked, they didn't have them. When I came back a few months later, they had two. 😬

[@TheZoeybear]

Where did you get your mini Dutch oven? It’s so cute. Happy Camping ⛺️

[@ShoestringMartha]

Daiso! Happy camping to you as well 🌲

[@gwendolynmccall4746]

RIP Shawn

[@kathycassell930]

Having the tomatos in the dutch oven before the beans were cooked may have been a big problem with your beans cooking. Tomatos keep beans from cooking. Try to hold the tomato until the beans are cooked next time see if that improves the cook time.

[@esousa486]

YUMMY ..... I'm CRAVING something HOT, SWEET, and Berry-gooey ..... COOL video, Ms Martha 😁👌👍👍👍

[@onlyinparadise4613]

Pumpkin spiced pinto beans 🫘 coming to Starbucks soon 😂

[@ShoestringMartha]

Honestly would not be surprised. 😂

[@tracker5849]

How disrespectful...since its fall..just shove the poor tiny pumpkin! LOL!!!! LOL😂 suggestion...maybe next time take your knife and stab a hole a couple inches deep in top close to the stem to let steam out...maybe it wont rupture. Saw a bushcrafter do it once. Dinner looks good

[@ShoestringMartha]

I did think about it... after the fact, of course. 😂

[@tracker5849]

​@@ShoestringMarthasounds like me. Always after. 😂

[@kat2572]

I'm in your city too, which Daiso did you find that Dutch Oven at? I've been to 3 and they have no idea what they are or if they've ever had them. I appreciate it.

[@ShoestringMartha]

I found it at the 31st St and Indian School location. But that day, they had only 2. Previous days, they had none. When they do have them, they’re in the camping aisle.

[@conniewaite1371]

If you have a claw hammer with you,use the claw of the hammer to lift lid or pot handle,works better

[@ShoestringMartha]

Alas I do not but thanks for the tip!

[@EdieWeedy]

Amazon sells the pot for $12.99 holds .25 quart

[@ShoestringMartha]

That would be only one cup - super mini 🤏 I think the one I have is 1 quart. Stansport sells one that size, but currently, it’s about $22 amzn.to/4eMGDVl

What's the 11:18 measurements of that dutch oven? The smallest one i have is 8 x 3

[@ShoestringMartha]

I'd guess it's about 6" across and around 6" tall

[@conniewaite1371]

@@ShoestringMartha thanks its smaller then the one lodge has. I found a stansport on Amazon on sale about that size,should get it tomorrow.i have old camping gear when we went as a family,trying to get it down to just me.our son has all his gear that he likes and takes wonderful trips.hubby isn't to interested anymore,guess I will outfit my jeep and go alone.

[@ShoestringMartha]

It's tricky, calibrating your gear to your style. The upsides are you can get exactly what you like, and it's license to shop.

‘tamal’ is Spanish singular but anglicized ‘tamale’ is also correct 😉
