This last weekend I went camping with friends. If you haven’t learned yet, camping is in my top three favorite activities. I absolutely love everything about it. Funny thing. I’m not entirely sure where my love comes from. I didn’t grow up camping and only went a handful of times. There’s just something about it that I fall in love with every time I go. Over the last few years I’ve started to collect dutch ovens
and love when I get to use them. This particular dutch oven recipe is fantastic. Made with Rhodes Bake N Serv Anytime Cinnamon Rolls this sweet treat can be ready in 30 minutes!
Sadly, I didn’t end up making this delicious dessert on our camping trip… and my friends may probably give me a little bit of grief after seeing this. Instead we made dutch oven cheesy potatoes, baked beans, rolls (wishing I had remembered the ingredients for my Dutch Oven Buttery Pull Aparts), and an apple cobbler. To say we ate well would be an understatement. We ate REALLY well! It was so delicious! Next time for sure I’ll be sure to pack the rolls for this yummy deliciousness!
