Covered Wagon Special

This is a recipe I got from outside of Macey's when we lived in UT. Camping and Dutch oven are synonymous for me. I was glad we got to try this one out. It was really good. Aaron reduced it a little to about 2/3 of the recipe since there was only 4 adults and 2 kids, and no fridge for leftovers. We also added about 2 Tbsp of butter on top.
2 lbs cubed round steak or chicken (we used steak)
10 medium sliced potatoes
2 lbs carrots, cut in spears
4 medium onions cut 1/2" thick
2 med green peppers, cut in rings (we had one green, and one red)
1/2 lb sliced bacon
salt and pepper
Place the steaks on the bottom of the dutch oven, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Continue this seasoning with each layer of potatoes, carrots, onions and green pepper. Place individual strips of bacon over vegetables. Cover and put dutch oven on 12 coals. Place 12 coals on the lid. Cook about 1 hour. Turn bacon over when brown on one side.
