Gonna brag on this one a bit... Scouting Magazine recently ran a contest for Dutch Oven recipes.  I submitted my recipe and was selected as "2nd Runner Up" (i.e. 3rd Place) in the Savory Category.  

Given that they used my actual name, I'm not linking the page, but here is how they printed up the recipe (along with their comment):
 

 

Judges’ Comments: A cowboy might try to tell you there’s nothing more satisfying than a Dutch oven full of hot biscuits in the morning. But they’d be spinning a yarn because {Deerslyr}’s biscuits and gravy recipe just took this buckaroo favorite up a notch!

What you’ll need:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. ground white pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 2 (1-pound) containers breakfast sausage
  • 1/2 gallon whole milk
  • 2 (7.5-ounce) containers regular-size Pillsbury biscuits

What you’ll do:

  1. Light and heat 25 briquettes.
  2. Add flour, salt, ground peppers and nutmeg together in a ziplock bag. Seal bag and shake well.
  3. Preheat Dutch oven over 15 coals.
  4. Add sausage to oven and break into small chunks with a spatula. Cook thoroughly, but not until crispy.
  5. Evenly sprinkle flour mixture from ziplock bag over sausage and stir.
  6. Allow flour to cook for about 30 seconds to saturate in sausage grease and coat the pieces, making a roux.
  7. Pour milk into oven and stir.
  8. Place lid on oven and add remaining 10 coals on top.
  9. Occasionally remove lid to stir. Once gravy has reached a boil and thickened to desired consistency, remove oven from coals to prevent gravy from burning.
  10. Open tubes of biscuits and evenly distribute over gravy, completely covering the top surface. The thickness of the gravy will support the biscuits. Do not submerge the biscuits! Otherwise, they won’t brown.
  11. Replace lid on oven and set 17 coals on lid and 8 coals underneath. Refresh coals if necessary.
  12. Bake for about 15 minutes, checking biscuits after 5 minutes and rotating lid a quarter-turn.
  13. Serve once biscuits are golden brown. Use a large spoon to pull out a biscuit then ladle gravy over the top.

 

For those of you who are Scouters, you will likely know where to find the web page... or it'll come in your mailbox.

Here is a picture that they took when they made it.
