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.

TIN FOIL STEW
From my Girl Scout camping days. Our girls, especially when younger, loved to make this dinner because they could each make their own little foil packet and "customize it" to their own taste. At first, we had to encourage them to put in the onion, even if they didn't eat it, so it would flavor the rest. They usually agreed. Along with some Hawaiian rolls and butter, this was a satisfying meal.

Steps:
- Using a double layer square of heavy duty foil, form a bowl around your fist.
- Form 1 inch balls with the ground beef and place in bowl.
- Add the desired amount of sliced vegetables.
- Add A-1, ketsup, and garlic salt to taste.
- Pour water over the lot.
- Seal foil packet by tightly twisting top to look somewhat like a Hersheys Kiss. Be sure water cannot leak out in the cooking. (Alternately, a sandwich wrap can be used, but kids are not usually very good at getting these leak-free).
- Place packets between hot coals. (For a group, we would assign each girl a number and place the packets in a grid, so each girl got the packet she had made).
- Cook 1/2 to 1 hour depending on how hot your fire is. You may need to carefully open one to check for doneness.
- When done, carefully open the "bowl" and eat when cool enough to not burn you.

Steps:
- To make the marinade, place the beef in a large glass or plastic container. Add 8 sprigs of thyme, carrots, garlic, red onions, orange peel, cloves, peppercorns, bay leaves, and the wine. Mix well to coat, then cover and refrigerate for 4 hours.
- Remove beef from the marinade and blot dry on paper towels. Heat the oil and butter and the remaining 4 sprigs thyme in a heavy-bottomed saucepan on a high heat. When the oil begins to smoke, remove the thyme. Add the beef and brown evenly on all sides. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Strain the marinade into the beef and stir with a wooden spoon, scraping up the flavorful bits in the bottom of the pot. Add bouquet garni and beef stock. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the liquid starts to thicken, about 15 to 20 minutes. Cover and cook on low heat for 2 hours.
- After about 2 hours add the baby carrots, garden peas, and mushrooms, along with a pinch of sugar to balance out the acid from the red wine. Turn the heat up slightly and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes more, until the vegetables and meat are tender. Season with salt and pepper.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and chives. Squeeze some of the roasted garlic onto the Croutons, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and serve with the stew.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Put garlic on a sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add a sprig of thyme and fold the foil around the garlic. Cook for 30 to 40 minutes or until garlic is tender and golden brown.
- Heat about 1/4-inch of the olive oil in a frying pan. When the oil is hot, add the bread in batches and fry until golden on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Remove from pan and dry on paper towels.
