Foil Stew (aka Hobo Dinner, Campfire Stew, Tin Foil Dinner) is easy, fun, and so good that you'll want to make it even when you aren't camping.

Categories     Main Course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 medium potato (sliced 1/8-inch thick (peeling is optional))
1 large carrot (sliced 1/8-inch thick (peeling is optional))
½ large onion (sliced or chopped)
4 ounces protein
½ cup Cream of Mushroom Soup (Any Cream of... soup will work fine. (We really like Cream of Celery))
salt & pepper (Season as desired)

Steps:

  • Put all foil stew ingredients in the middle of a large rectangle of heavy duty aluminum foil.Bring the foil up so that the ingredients are resting inside in a slightly elongated pile.
  • Fold the top edges down together about 1 inch and crease. Fold over and do it again, and then once again. It helps to hold the foil stew up as you do this, because this allows you to keep some extra space in the packet, which helps in the cooking process. In other words, the folds themselves need to be very tight, but the foil stew inside should have a little wiggle room.
  • Push the two ends down so that your foil stew is safely in the middle of the packet.
  • Fold or roll the ends tightly.
  • Get a second piece of foil and repeat steps A-D. Ready for the fire.
  • To bake over an open fire, simply place your prepared foil stew on a bed of coals for 25-50 minutes, turning every 10-15 minutes. Check stew after 30 minutes, or 5 minutes after you begin to smell it cooking. See Cooking Time in NOTES below for more information.
