This recipe is great when camping, or at home. I used to make this with my Boy Scout troop. The recipe is for one serving, so adjust accordingly.

Friends loved this when I made it camping! Only thing is that I made them up at home and stuck them in the cooler so they were ready to pop in the coals after a long day fishing and used multiple sheets of foil for each one so they didnt leak. Made up a batch of campfire biscuits and the oohs and ahhs kept coming. Thanks for the great recipe Peter! Read More

I love the concept. I even added mushrooms and additional spices as well. But I also found the meal to taste bland. And there was quite a bit of excess liquid possibly from the mushrooms. And I didn't feel the need to add the tablespoon of water. I was suprised based on the onions garlic and variety of spices I used how flavorless it tasted. Also the meat was cooked perfectly but the potatoes and carrots could've used more time - about 10-15 minutes. I'm curious if anyone else ran into the same problem(s). Read More
