Prep Time: 1-30m
Difficulty: easy
Backpacking: No
Ingredients
- Ground Beef
- Minced Onion (or chopped onion)
- Ketchup or tomato sauce
- Bread Crumbs (can crumble up bread)
- Egg or Egg Substitute
- Garlic Powder, and/or any other dry spices you like
Instructions
Mix all ingredients together just like making a meatloaf at home. Double fold sheets of foil to make pockets. Make 4 to 5 inch long rectangular meat loaves and seal inside the foil. Put the pockets right on a hot dog roasting stick. Prop up over the fire, turn occasionally to cook on all sides. "Bake" on the stick about 20 minutes. Check it for doneness. Serve with ketchup on or off a bun.
I've made these with just the ground meat and dry french onion soup mix in a pinch. The egg is a binder and will hold it all together. Get creative and enjoy!
