24 Cozy Dutch Oven Recipes for Fall

When I moved from Minneapolis, Minnesota to Berlin, Germany, my trusty Dutch oven was amongst the belongings I packed up into two big suitcases. Was it heavy? Inconvenient? Worth it? Yes, yes, and absolutely yes. There’s nothing a Dutch oven can’t do and I swear it makes all soups, stews, and even roasts just taste better, so there was no way I was going anywhere without it.

Since then, it’s been my trusty vessel for so many delicious meals, from simple roast chickens to plenty of Covid-era sourdough loaves, various beef stews to simple weeknight pasta bakes. They’re definitely an investment, but over the years the payoff is more than worth it and they can even become a treasured family heirloom when treated right. So grab your trusty (or maybe brand new?) Dutch oven and get to cooking these recipes this season!
