Campfire food

 
This is an easy recipe I would like to share for those who like a good campfire. We have a fire pit in the back yard that we made with a shovel, some bricks and of course love. If you asked my husband who was holding the shovel most of the time he would use a different word than love but he is not the one writing this;) Regardless, everyone knows how to make s'mores which are always a fave so today I will instruct on an easy and hearty main dish that can be made easily with a cutting surface and a knife in any outdoor space.

You will need:
Aluminum foil
potatoes
onions
ground beef, turkey or chicken

you can also add:
peppers, tomatoes and corn if desired

Chop potatoes into small pieces
Place all ingredients mixed together in foil
Wrap in foil multiple times to prevent burning
Depending on how hot the fire is and how large the package is this concoction can
sit in the fire for 20-40 minutes. I suggest making multiple packets for quicker cooking.
The packets should be tuned every 10 minutes.
**When you remove these packets from the fire be sure to let them sit about 5 minutes before eating,
contents will be extremely hot. Season with salt and pepper to taste. The kiddos also like ketchup:)
