    Chicken & Biscuits in the Dutch Oven Recipe
    1 pack of chicken tenders
    1 small onion chopped
    3 carrots chopped
    2 ribs of celery chopped
    2 small red potatoes chopped
    small can of green beans
    3 tbsp cornstarch
    1/4 cup milk
    1 tbsp better than boullion chicken
    quart of water
    salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, herbs de provence
    can of refrigerated biscuits
    Precooked chicken at home. Chopped up into small pieces and season.
    Add chopped up veggies to oil in a heated Dutch Oven
    Add water, eyeball it. I didn't use the entire quart.
    Add boullion
    Mix cornstarch and milk together until dissolved. Add slowly a little at a time until the gravy starts to thicken.
    Add chicken
    Cook until thicken and completely heated up.
    Add biscuits and cook until biscuits are browned.
    Keep turning the dutch oven a 1/4 of a turn many times through this process so this cooks evenly. Add whatever veggies you want. Add bacon, make it the way you like it. Enjoy! ~RVA~

Oh I cook on cast iron at home and then just take my skillets out there with me. Except for that dutch oven. Thats an outdoor one since it has feet. An indoor one doesn't have feet. Its easy to cook on and the cast iron holds its heat really well. Thanks a bunch Lucy! Appreciate you stopping by and leaving a comment. ~RVA~

      I spend a ton of time researching campsites and campgrounds. I watch a ton of videos like yours, lol prior to booking. Dutch oven cooking is fun when the ground isn't wet. Charcoal cooks things fast normally, but wet conditions really increase the length of cooking time. I need to do my peach cobbler recipe on a video sometime soon too. That's my family recipe. There's nothing better than camping in the Fall, couldn't agree more. Thanks girls for watching. ~RVA~

Those types of sites can completely alter the experience! Karen has been talking of cast iron cooking lately as well - so I am hoping she too is planning some of her southern cooking over the fire! A peach cobbler sounds AMAZING! Can't wait!

      Kimball was where I wanted to camp but the spot I wanted was booked. I actually had it booked a few weeks ago and couldn't go because my cat got out and we couldn't find her for 5 days. That one was suppose to be a solo campout for me. Which is your fav place in NC? Yes Northbend is my fav in VA and this one is a close 2nd. I think Kimball will rank pretty high too. ~RVA~

      Appreciate it Aggy Goes Outdoors! In the US there are so many National, State Parks, and Recreational Areas to camp at. The National Forests offer free dispersed camping locations and of course on long trails such as the Appalachian Trail you can camp at the shelters and or along the trail as long as proper rules are followed with being a certain distance from the trail, water sources etc...There are also private campgrounds and property owners that use HipCamp etc and allow people to camp on their property for a small fee. It's true there are so many various choices for camping. I do feel very fortunate. I have so many dutch oven recipes. Cast iron is such a great way to cook!

    Well done on your video Jacqueline. What a nice relaxing trip. The Dutch Oven meal liked fantastic. I'll be trying that! Thanks for the shout out. Glad you found a place for my sticker next to many other great channels. Love the sunrise coffee. Beautiful area. Have a great day.

    I was expecting you to bring into song with a Nutbush City Limits! Great day and some lovely Fall colours, real nice to be able to get your car close by and a fire pit too! The view was pretty special as well, perfect place to chill out and relax and looked real snug in the tent, real roomy too. Loved the setting sun and you did a great job with the pumpkins and food but what a dam shame about the negative energy coming from your neighbours. Good to see relaxation was restored and reading in the hammock could continue and a nice simple lunch sounded (and looked) dam fine to me! Cheers Alan

      UA-cam is always eating my comments. 2nd try to respond LOL. I have never heard of that song but it sure sounds fitting. Ah yes, that campsite! I literally spend hours and hours compiling lists of where I want to go camping. I watch other people's videos to scout out site numbers that I want to stay in. R&R Fall weekend while my foot heals a bit. Thanks so much for your amazing support! ~RVA~

    Hello! ☺️ Thanks for the mention. Your water bottle looks adequately dressed 😃 my little camping table is now full of lovely stickers.
    I’m liking the autumn vibes during your videos intro. I just love it when the leafs turned from green to gold. Also, you’ve got good carving skills… I usually end up accidentally butchering my pumpkin 🎃 lol.
    Loved the location of your camp, can’t beat a lakeside view & beautiful sunrise. Sorry to hear you witnessed negative vibes from other campers.
    Thank you for sharing your journey. Take care. 😌
