Chop red potatoes and onion and mix together with desired amount of baby carrots and toss with Olive oil and salt and pepper then set aside. Pull out a sheet of Tin foil and Pam spray it. Layer it with the hamburger then salt and pepper the hamburger before adding the Potato, carrot, onion mixture. Salt and pepper again before folding up. Place foil packets on cookie sheep and place on lowest shelf in oven. Bake 25 minutes and turn over and bake another 25 minutes. Take out and check for doneness. If vegetables or hamburger are not done place back into oven and bake longer till done.

CAMPFIRE FOIL PACKS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, or a large zip-top bag, combine the chicken, onion, mushrooms, yellow pepper, red pepper, garlic, and potatoes. Pour in the olive oil and lemon juice, then mix well.
• Evenly divide the mixture between 4 large sheets of aluminum foil. Top each with another sheet of foil, and roll up the edges tightly. Wrap each packet again, securely in another sheet of foil to double wrap.
• Cook in the hot coals of a campfire until the chicken is opaque and the potatoes are tender, around 40 minutes.

TIN FOIL STEW

Steps:

• On a large square sheet of foil, layer beef, potato cubes, carrots, onion and garlic. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, top with butter and a tablespoon of water.
• Roll edges of tin foil together and seal tightly.
• Bury it in campfire coals or put in a preheated oven at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). For either cooking method, cooking time is about 1 hour. You can eat it right out of the foil, or empty it into a dish.

THE BOY SCOUTS CAMPFIRE QUESADILLA

Steps:

• Cut 8 (12x16") pieces of heavy-duty foil. Layer 2 pieces of foil on top of each other to create 4 stacks.
• Place a flour tortilla in the center of each foil stack. Dividing evenly, top one half of each tortilla with chicken and cheese and season with salt and pepper. Fold tortillas in half, then bring edges of foil together to enclose the quesadillas and crimp edges to seal.
• Prepare a campfire or grill for medium, indirect heat, preferably with hardwood or hardwood charcoal. Let coals burn until covered with ash and glowing red with no black remaining.
• Place foil packs side by side directly onto hot coals or grill and cook, rotating with tongs occasionally, about 5 minutes. Carefully remove 1 packet from heat and check if cheese is melted. If necessary, return pack to coals and continue to cook, 5-10 minutes more. Serve with hot sauce, if desired.
