1 lb bacon- Shredded cheese-
1 large onion- 2 bell peppers-
Salt and Pepper- 3 Tbsp butter-
Potatoes
Cut bacon into 1 inch squares and fully cook in the bottom of a 12 inch Dutch oven. You want the oven hot so use a pile of charcoal, or a propane stove for this part. Once bacon is cooked, add chopped peppers and onion and saute until tender. Cut potatoes into ½ inch pieces and fill oven, mixing with other ingredients. Salt and Pepper to taste. Place 9 coals under oven in a circle that is the same size as the bottom of the oven, evenly spaced. On the lid of the oven, place a ring around the outside that has the coals just touching each other, then place three coals, evenly spaced, in the center of the lid. (Just outside the handle) Cook for about an hour, or until potatoes are tender. Stir at a half hour, and at 45 minutes. Once potatoes are tender, remove all coals and sprinkle cheese over the top, as liberal as desired. Then replace lid until cheese is melted. Most use cheddar cheese, but I also like pepper jack. Serve from the oven.
