A camping recipe from Donna. This is an easy meal with quick cleanup. Be sure to flip the foil packs while cooking or your potatoes will burn.
Prep Time: 1 hour
Ingredients:
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 medium onion
  • 4 medium russet potatoes
  • salt and pepper
Preparation:
Grab a 10-15 lb bag of charcoal and light it. Let them burn down until they are a nice grey color and no longer flaming. Rip off 6 large sheets of heavy duty foil, make beef into 6 round patties, slice the onion into rings, and peel and slice potatoes into fairly thin circles. Layer in the foil potatoes, onion and meat patty on top. Salt and pepper to taste. Seal them up and toss directly on to coals, flipping them over every 10 minutes or so. Continue doing this for the next 45-50 minutes. Rip one open and check for doneness.

Servings: 6
