In the sixties I was a Camp Fire Girl and this is a recipe we learned to make and cook over a campfire. We made ours with a pork chop, potatoes, carrots and onion. I've tried to revise it so you can use any of your families favorite vegetables and meat. You could make these before you leave home and put them in a waterproof container in your ice chest. List of meats that work good: chicken tenders, smoked sausage slices, ground beef patties, ground turkey patties, thin boneless pork chops. List of vegetables that work good: carrots, green beans, corn, mixed vegetables, etc. (Vegetables can be fresh, frozen or canned). Be creative!
Ingredients:
1/2 lb meat
1 cup potato, sliced
1 cup carrot, sliced
1/2 cup onion, sliced
4 teaspoons butter
garlic powder
salt
pepper
cooking spray
aluminum foil
Directions:
1. Spray 18-inch square of aluminum foil with cooking spray.
2. Place 1/4 of the meat in center of foil.
3. Place 1/4 of the vegetables on top of meat.
4. Season with butter, salt, garlic powder and pepper to taste.
5. Fold top and sides of foil several times to seal food.
6. THREE WAYS TO COOK: Always place seam side up when cooking. You may want to double wrap if cooking on a campfire or grill.
