Way back in the dark ages when I was a boy scout we cooked wonderful deserts and sandwiches in these...
I purchased 2 of these wonderful cast iron cooking devices a few years ago and have about run out of ideas of things to cook in them.
Does anyone own and use these? What recipes do you use.

One can not profess to be of "GOD" and show intolerence and prejudice towards the beliefs of others.

Here are two of my favorites:
As with any pie maker recipe trim the bread or other ingredients that hang out the sides so they do not burn.
Hash and Egg ( round pie iron )
1/4 cup corned beef hash 1 egg pad of butter
Fry corned beef in a well greased PIE IRON until almost done. Open the cooker and form a 2 inch hole in the hash. Into the hole crack the egg and top with butter. Close the cooker and continue to cook until egg is done to your liking.
Cut up some english muffins and put them in them in the greased/buttered pie iron, then add some pre-cooked bacon strips on top of the muffins and pour on some scrambled eggs. Cover and cook 5 min and it's breakfast time. The same can be done with hashbrowns in place of muffins. Salt n Pepper to taste, gotta love the classics!

You want a real camp treat, take your bread, butter both sides place butter sides down in pie iron. Add left over beef ( or any meat ) stew ( can use canned stew from the store ). Close iron and cook over hot coals until heated through. KInda like a hot pockets but better.
