Cast Iron Cooking

[BDF6]

Show us your cast iron food!
Having company this weekend so I made green chili corn bread & what I call a Troll-house cookie to go with the chili.
I wish they'd get here so I can eat.

The way food was ment to be prepared!

Grew up in a farmhouse with a wood stove. Made real cornbread in a skillet served with pinto beans and ham. Man I miss those meals!

I've been searing my steaks like this lately. I eat them as soon as they come out so no pics.
Very easy & fantastic results.
Will SMOKE out the house...

Yeah, when it's too cold to grill, like tonight, 8 degrees out, I do steaks in the cast iron. I use a splatter shield and keep the exhaust vent on high to prevent the smokeout. It's really easy to finish them off with butter in the cast pan !!!!! Pic is after it was plated!!

THAT's what I'm talking about!

I prefer cooking over charcoal outdoors in the summer but in the winter we just broil in the oven. This looks so much better! Have to try this out once i master the homemade bread thing. Home made bread,home raised beef and home raised spuds from the garden. Meal fit for a king!!

I was raised in the sticks. all we cooked with was cast iron. I am just getting my present wife to use cast iron some. The best corn bread always came from a skillet. Put some pintos and ham hocks on and that's comfort food. We will be frying potatoes and onions to go with our fried crappie and channel cat this weekend.

I just seasoned some cast iron Lodge pans. Probably not as good as the Griswolds I used to have but the Ex has those.

Cast iron cooking is my fave, here's an easy one with a Dutch oven

Just make some bisquits and you're good to go

My 85 year old mother , from n Carolina, makes excellent ( southern style - not sweet ) corn bread in an iron skillet. She adds dried onions. Which give it a great flavor! I like it with butter. Or broken up into a glass of milk. I think THAT is a southern thing.

Grandmother used to make a stew similar to yours, but would actually make the biscuit dough and layer it on top... Oh man!
Cornbread, eggs and stews/ chilli can't be better than when cooked with cast iron!

I have a 5 gallon cast iron kettle with a tripod. When camping in winter we would cook a beef stew over the fire.
I was young but the adults would wander around drinking Scotch stirring the "Mulligan Stew" it usually took about 8 hrs was bombiggitty

It's not actually a stew but it all cooks together. Just plate it up and poor on the gravy from the pot
