                          Beef Pot Pie with Biscuits


               12" Dutch oven. (serves 8 to 9)    5 carrots
               3 lbs. boneless lean meat          1/4 cup oil
               6 medium potatoes                  1 1/2 cup Bisquick
               3 onions                           Milk (for bisquick)
               10 lbs. charcoal briquets  (troop will supply starter)


          About 2 hours before dinner time, build a HOT charcoal fire using
     about twice as many briquets as it takes to fill a circle the diameter
     of the dutch oven. (It is better to have a few too many, than not
     enough.)


          While you are waiting for the fire to get ready, cut the meat and
     vegetables into bite size cubes. Salt and pepper to taste. Put the ov-
     en on the fire and level it. Add the oil, then the meat. (do not add
     the vegetables yet) Brown the meat all over with the oven uncovered.
     This will take about 15 minutes. Then add 1 cup water and the vegeta-
     bles. Cover and continue to cook for a total of about 1 hour. Check
     and stir every 10 to 15 minutes, adding water as necessary to prevent
     burning.


          When meat and vegetables are tender, (about 1 hour), add enough
     milk to the bisquick to make a stiff dough. Spoon biscuit size pieces
     of this dough onto the top of the meat and vegetable mixture. Cover
     the oven. Add about 20 briquets on the lid, and cook for about 15 min-
     utes more, or until the biscuits are brown. (Be careful not to drop
     ashes from the lid into the oven)  Remove from fire and serve.
