"Kick the Can" Ice Cream by Dian Thomas
"Ice cream in a tin can" is my most requested recipe. Home-made ice cream is always the most refreshing dessert, and making it outdoors provides both recreation and a cool, memorable treat. It also creates lifetime memories of fun.
1 (1-pound) coffee can with plastic lid
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flavored syrup (such as chocolate or strawberry)
1 (3-pound) coffee can with plastic lid or a #10-size can, such as a potato
flake can with plastic lid
1 Small bag ice, cubed (not crushed)
1/2 cup rock salt
In the small can, add milk, cream, sugar and syrup. Do not fill the can more than half full with liquids or the ice cream will not freeze as well. Cover the small can with a plastic lid and place it into the large can. Fill the bottom half of the space between the two cans with ice. Add rock salt. Fill the rest of the space with ice and put on the plastic lid.
Ask two people to roll the can back and forth to each other for 10 minutes. (You might want to set a timer because small children have little concept of time.) Remove the lids and scrape the ice cream from the sides of the small can. Stir the mixture. If the ice cream needs to freeze longer, pour water out of the large can. Set the small can inside the large can, adding more ice and rock salt as needed. When the ice cream is ready, there will be about a half inch of frozen mixture on the sides of the can, the rest still in near-liquid form. With a kitchen knife scrape down the frozen ice cream and stir it into the liquid ice cream to create the right consistency. Makes about 2 cups.
• Chopped frozen fruit may be added with the syrup if desired. It also speeds freezing.

Enchiladas - One of my favorite Dutch Oven Recipes
It's SO easy!
(Beef, Chicken or Vegetarian)
I like making a bigger batch so we have some for the next day.
2 15 oz. cans of Pinto Beans - doesn't have to be exact - around 3 - 4 cups
2 15 oz. cans of Black Beans
2 cups Brown Rice - cooked (I make a bunch of this ahead of time and have some for breakfast as a delicious healthy cereal)
2 cups Shredded Colby Jack or Cheddar Cheese
2 10 oz. cans of Green Chili Enchilada Sauce (it is mild) OR Diced Green Chilies
2 10 oz. cans of Red Enchilada Sauce
12 Corn Tortillas - ripped apart into at least 4 - 6 pieces each
2 c. Shredded Chicken, Beef OR even NO meat if you prefer Vegetarian Enchiladas
Add more or even less meat if you like.
1 c. Sour Cream
1 can Cream of Chicken Soup (no water added)
1 small can Diced Green Chilies
In your dutch oven (or make this indoors in a slow cooker if you prefer), layer all these ingredients in this order. After you make it once, you can have fun and layer it any way you want. This is what works for me:
Starting on the bottom:
1/2 c. Green Enchilada Sauce
1/2 c. Red Enchilada Sauce
5 - 6 Torn pieces of Corn Tortillas
1/2 c. Black Beans
1/2 c. Brown Rice
1/2 c. Pinto Beans
1/2 c. Cream of Chicken Soup
1/2 c. sour cream (use only 1/2 c. for the whole meal if you want to reduce calories)
1/2 c. corn (frozen or from the can, drained)
1/2 c. Cooked Shredded Meat (pork, chicken, beef or no meat at all)
1/2 c. Shredded Cheese
Repeat this process 2 - 3 more times until all your ingredients are used up.
The 1/2 c. measurement is just one idea - add more or less each time - enough to have 2 - 3 layers.
Always START w/ a sauce on the bottom of the pan and END w/ cheese on top
Heat through all the way - may take about an 60 - 90 min.
Serve hot!
Be sure and dish all leftovers into clear, plastic containers for quick meals later on.
