Prep Time: 1-30m
Difficulty: easy
Backpacking: No
Ingredients
- 1/4 lb hamburger meat
- 1 potato, thinly sliced
- 1 union, cut into wedges
- ketchup
- salt, pepper
- seasoning of your choice
Instructions
1. Get a large piece of foil and put all of your ingredients into it. That's right, all of them!
2. Fold the foil carefully around the pile, crimping and folding the edges so that you get a tight seal over the mess (wrap another piece of foil around it if you don't think the juices will stay in).
3. Carefully put the foiled container on the coals of your campfire (Not in the flames themselves!) Try letting it cook for about ten minutes on each side for about thirty minutes total.
4. Open it with some sticks not to burn yourself. Enjoy!!
