When our children were small, I invented this recipe to take along on trips to the park. We'd grill the packets, then eat the meal right from the foil wrap!—Ann Millhouse, Polo, Illinois
Ingredients:
2 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
2 large tomatoes, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 package (10 ounces) frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup tomato juice
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 pound ground beef
additional salt and pepper, optional
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, tomatoes, onion, mixed vegetables and mushrooms; set aside.
2. In another large bowl, combine the egg, tomato juice, oats, onion, salt and pepper; crumble beef over the mixture and mix well. Divide meat mixture into six portions; crumble each portion onto an 18-in. x 12-in. piece of foil.
3. Top with vegetable mixture; season with additional salt and pepper if desired. Bring edges of foil together; crimp to seal, forming a packet. Place on baking sheets.
4. Bake at 350° for 50-60 minutes or until no pink remains and a meat thermometer reads 160°. Yield: 6 servings.
