Dcb Recipes That Are Not for the Microwave???

[Christ Follower]

I have a past host that loves her DCB, however, she keeps asking me for recipes for it that don't use the microwave.

Who has ideas other than a roast or chicken? All the PC recipes for the DCB are for the micro and she doesn't like to use it.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions....

I use mine all the time for things in the oven - but not really "recipes".
The other night, I made Pot Pie in it, using chicken w/ gravy and mixed veggies, and put Grands Biscuits on top, and baked it.
I make Baked Beans in it, and have made Apple Cobbler and Peach Cobbler in it.
For Thanksgiving, I am going to make my Stuffing in it.......

Not sure if that helps - I just use it for whatever I need to use it for!

Thanks Becky, that does help. The pot pies idea is great!

 

[SPVA]

1 lb Ground Beef
16 oz can Pork & Beans
2 tbs Brown Sugar
1 Small Onion (Minced)
1/2 cup BBQ Sauce
1 Can Grands Bisquits (10 pk)
1/2 cup Grated Cheese (optional)


Brown ground beef with onion and drain. Add brown sugar, bbq sauce and Pork & Beans. Mix all ingredients and put into DCB. Cut the bisquits in half and arrange them on top with cut sides against side. Top with grated cheese and bake @350 for 20 mins or until bisquits are golden brown.


**On days when I forget to take something out in the morning for dinner, I just pull out frozen hamburger and put it in the micro cooker to defrost and cook. I drain it and use the mix and chop to break it all up, add the remaining ingredients right in the MC and then dump into the DCB. (the onions are so small they cook while in the oven)

I use my DCB for the NY Times No Knead Bread recipe that swept the country a few months back.

Great crust! Great Flavor

I also use mine for any casseroles & mac & cheese that I bake in the oven. I'd tell her that pretty much anything she might use Corningware for she can bake in our DCB.

My husband and I just made boneless ribs in the DBC the other night. I went to Costco and bought a package that was about 5 lbs. I broke it up into 5 1lb freezer bags and froze all but 1 lb. I then rubbed the Garlic Peppercorn rub and baked it in the oven for about 30 minutes. It was soooo delicious! And super easy. I didn't even use that much rub (just on top) but it was very flavorful. We are addicted to this baker and all the recipes I have found are so appreciated.

Thanks for this recipe!
Did you preheat the baker like the recipe said?
How did you do the timing...as in...when did you start it and then bake, etc? I am thinking if I started it this late today (8:00?) the first rising would be done by 2:00 tomorrow...next 2 hour resting till 4:00 then bake? Am I timing that right?

Thanks for any help and/or tips!

I baked my first ham in mine, covered. I thought - bet it'll taste GREAT cooked in a brick oven! It was good. Just melted apricot preserves and brushed on. First ham I ever made.
