Vegetable Medley

12-inch Dutch oven

39 hot coals

12-14 servings

4 to 5 thick strips bacon

1 large onion, thinly sliced

2 cups diagonally sliced carrots

1 cup diagonally sliced celery

2 cups broccoli florets

2 cups cauliflower florets

12 to 14 new red potatoes, quartered

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 envelope (1.3 ounces) dry onion soup mix

1 can (10.75 ounces) cream of mushroom soup, condensed

Water

Cook bacon in Dutch oven over 12 coals, remove, and dice. Place all vegetables and oil into the Dutch oven; stir to coat. Add dry soup mix and bacon and stir. In a small bowl, combine soup with three-fourths can of water and then pour over vegetables.

Cover and bake, using 9 coals underneath the oven and 18 on top, for 40 minutes. Using a large spoon, gently turn over the vegetables once or twice while cooking, do not stir.

Variation: You may add grated cheese of choice on the top of the vegetables once they are done.
