David's Kitchen: Dutch Oven Baked Ziti

(download)

I was talking about my new Dutch Oven at work and how proud I was of the Kale I had cooked over the weekend when Karl mentioned making Baked Ziti. That sounded like a great idea. As he began shooting off the ingredients he used I started my grocery list.  For the most part the recipe looks like THIS ONE but I kicked in a few things.

I added:

  • 1 pound of ground Italian sausage - yes, that's a lot of meat.
  • 1 large green pepper chopped
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • some garden fresh oregano
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1 can tomato sauce

After it baked in the Dutch oven on my grill for an hour I placed it under the broiler in the kitchen to get a little brown on the top cheese.

Served with garlic toasted French bread.

The result was an army sized amount of ziti goodness.

Oh, Yum!

David's Kitchen: Southern Mac and Cheese

I would have liked for this dish to come out a little creamier than it did but it was very tasty. Crumbled croutons on top added flavor and a crunchy texture.

Sausage from Eunice

Well, I found something to do with that sausage. Fresh brat rolls, Arthur Bryant's Original Barbeque Sauce, Gulden's Spicy Brown Mustard, topped with sautéd onions.
