Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 egg, lightly beaten
¾ cup crushed saltine crackers
¼ cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 pound lean ground beef
Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes
2 cups carrots, peeled and diced or shredded
1 10.75 ounce can condensed cream of chicken soup
¼ cup milk

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine egg, crackers, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and salt. Add ground beef; mix well. Shape meat mixture into four 3/4-inch patties.
Tear off four 36x18-inch sheets of heavy foil; fold in half to make 18-inch squares. Lightly coat one side of each 18-inch piece with cooking spray. On sprayed surface, place a patty in the center of each foil piece; top each with 1/2 cup potatoes and 1/2 cup carrots.
In a small bowl, combine chicken soup and milk. Spoon soup mixture evenly over vegetable mixture. Bring up two opposite edges of foil and seal with a double fold. Fold remaining edges together to completely enclose, leaving space for steam to build.
For a charcoal grill, arrange medium-hot coals around the edge of the grill for indirect grilling. Test for medium heat in center of grill. Place foil packets on grill rack in the center of the grill. Cover and grill for 25 to 30 minutes or until done (160°F). (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Adjust for indirect heating. Place foil packets on the unlit side. Cover and grill as above.)
To serve, carefully open the foil packets to allow steam to escape. If you like, transfer patties, vegetables and sauce from packets to dinner plates.

Categories Stew

Time 45m

Yield 2 cup packets, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 pieces heavy-duty aluminum foil (rectangular)
4 potatoes, peeled
4 carrots, peeled
4 large mushrooms (optional)
1 lb hamburger, divided (or stew meat)
1 onion, quartered (optional)
4 garlic cloves (optional)
2 teaspoons beef base, divided (bouillon)
4 tablespoons butter, divided
salt & pepper
dried herbs
8 tablespoons water, divided

Steps:

Lay FOUR foil pieces along counter or on table top (set other four pieces aside).
In center of foil, dice one potato and carrot; slice one mushroom.
Crumble one-fourth of the hamburger over the 'shroom.
Slice or mince one-quarter of the onion over the burger.
Press one clove of garlic over the onion.
Add half a teaspoon of beef base to the mound.
Snip up one tablespoon of butter over each pile.
Sprinkle on salt & pepper and any herbs (basil, parsley, thyme, oregano) you like.
Bring ends of foil to center, then make small folds (twice) to lock in the top. Wrap ONE end up, roll end tightly.
Lift packet up and gently shake goodies to compress.
Add 2 tablespoons of water to the open end, then carefully fold and roll up the open end.
Set rolled packet into center of SECOND sheet of foil and wrap again. This prevents any gravy-juice from sneaking out.
Over indirect campfire/grill or rake campfire coals over -- cook 30 minutes (check to be sure spuds are soft).
OPEN CAREFULLY as the inside will be steamy and HOT!
Serve from inner foil or transfer to a plate.
BRILLIANT IDEA: Freeze the packets after wrapping -- then they'll stay nice and cold longer when you get to your campsite, and can be served the second night out.
OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS: frozen broccoli or mixed veggies; fresh corn, beans, or peas.
SAUCE IT UP: Add about 1/8 to 1/4 cup of cream of 'shroom/celery soup for a nice gravy/sauce.
