A camping recipe from Kathleen. This is one of the first recipes I remember making when I started out in the Girl Scouts, and I still use it to this day when camping. It's easy, minimal cleanup, and very good.
Prep Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients:
  • stew meat
  • carrots
  • onions
  • potatoes
  • any other vegetable you'd cook in a stew
Preparation:
In the middle of a piece of heavy duty foil, approximately 18 inches long, place cut up pieces of stew meat, sliced onions, potatoes, sliced carrots, and any other vegetable you prefer. Season with salt and pepper (I prefer garlic salt myself with a dash of "Jamaica Me Crazy" pepper spice). Fold foil into a pocket and place directly on coals. The cooking time will vary, depending on the size of the pocket and the heat of the coals. The vegetables will cook in the juice of the meat, but, if you wish, you may add a tablespoon or two of cooking oil.

Servings: individual
