How To Make This Dutch Oven Sausage Camping Recipe
Prepare your cooking gear before you start.
This one pot meal can be made as one of our easy campfire recipes so you’ll need to use your camping fire starters to get your wood ready to make coals.
Alternatively, you can use charcoal briquettes or make this as one of our camp stove recipes, which is what we did the last time we made it because we were camping during a time of campfire restrictions.
Step 1. Prep the veggies
For this recipe you’ll need to mince some garlic and slice an onion and bell pepper.
Step 2. Heat the oil
You will be using a 12-inch cast iron Dutch oven to make
this meal.
First heat your pot over a medium-high heat, then add the olive oil to heat it before adding the remaining
ingredients.
Step 3. Brown the sausages
You will be browning the beer brats in the oil.
At this point you are not cooking the sausages, you are just
getting a nice golden brown color on all sides of the links.
Once they are browned, you’ll remove them from the Dutch
oven for a bit.
Step 4. Add the veggies to the pot
Now it is time to add the potatoes, onions, garlic, bell
peppers to the Dutch oven.
You will be gently stirring just to combine everything.
Step 5. Add the broth
At this point you will just need to pour the beef broth over the veggies and then
you’ll top everything with the browned sausages.
Step 6. Bring to simmer
While the heat is still set on medium-high, you’ll wait for
the mixture to come up to a simmer.
You are almost done … talk about easy camping dinner recipes, right?!?
Step 7. Reduce the heat and wait
It is time to cover the Dutch oven with its lid and just
wait for the sausages to cook through and the potatoes to get tender.
This will take about 45 minutes over a lower heat.
Camp Cooking Tip:
To keep the pot simmering in windy conditions you may need to increase the heat
to medium or even a high level.

50 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 beer brat sausages, uncooked
- 4 medium-sized potatoes, washed (not peeled) and cut into approximately 1 inch cubes
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 14 oz can beef broth
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Water, if necessary
Instructions
- Prepare 12 coals for cooking (* see note below).
- Place the coals in a pattern that will evenly heat a 12-inch Dutch oven from below. (You are using all of the coals under the oven, no coals will be placed on the lid. Place them in a full circular pattern including the center, not just a ring around the outside.)
- In your 12-inch cast iron Dutch oven over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil.
- Add the sausages to the pot, turning them to assure all sides are evenly browned, about 5-10 minutes. You are just browning the sausages here … not cooking them.
- Once they are browned, remove the sausages and set them aside.
- Add the potatoes, onions, garlic, bell peppers to the Dutch oven and stir gently.
- Now, pour the beef broth into the Dutch oven and add the sausages back to the pot placing them on top of the veggies.
- Bring it up to simmer while still on medium-high heat.
- Now, reduce the heat to low, cover the Dutch oven with the lid and let the pot simmer for 30 – 45 minutes until the brats are cooked through and the potatoes are tender. Check the liquid level on occasion and add water if necessary. Camp Cooking Tip: If you are cooking in windy conditions you may need to increase the heat to medium or even high in order to keep the pot simmering.
- Remove the Dutch oven from the heat and add salt and pepper, to taste.
Notes
*Note: You can use charcoal briquettes, campfire coals or a propane camp stove to heat your Dutch oven from below. You are just creating a medium heat and will reduce to lower heat to finish the dish.
