I will have to try this the next camping trip we take.
My stepson's mother-in-law belongs to a dutch oven cooking club. I'm going to pass this recipe along to her. It sounds absolutely wonderful.
I know someone who made a peach cobbler similar to this one and it was soooooooo good.

A standard 6-qt would work just fine.

You need a 12-inch (6-quart) oven, or even a 12-inch deep (8-quart) will work. I made this recipe a few years ago, after it was first posted on Yahoo's dutchovencooking group (where a lot of the recipes posted here came from), and it was pretty good.

Shirley, your stepson's MIL must be a member of the Lone Star Dutch Oven Society. I'm also a member -- what a great group of people!
