Here is something my kids like when we go camping........

Pending on the number of folks eatting, take large potatoes, cut them cross ways "nearly" through but not completely every 1/4" the length of the tater. I every other cut place a slice of onion, in the cuts between the onions place a small pat of butter, place in the center of a piece of alum. foil, cut some carrots length wise and lay a few strips on each side of the potato.

Wrap the entire thing up, then double wrap with a second piece of foil, place directly in the hot coal of the fire. Pending on the heat, rotate the taters every 15 mins or so until done.

These are a huge hit, you can make them a few hrs. ahead and keep them chilled in the cooler until ready to cook.

FD, same recipie a guy in my office does when hiking/camping with the scouts. He's a leader and he lets the boys make their own "packet" of food and throw them on the coals to cook. He said it gets crazy sometimes if there is a large group.

I bet bowriter has a few generalities on camp cooking - as he doesn't have recipes per se.

I bet he could post them - when he quits 'hobbling around like and old man' due to a broken toe, et. al. whilst opening the fridge!

Come on Fulldraw!..WHERES THE BEEF!? ....
Seriously, We make about the same thing that we have always called poorboys.... take a potatoe and onion slice about 3/8 to 1/2 of an inch thich. Them pat out a hamburger patty in the same general shape and size of the potatoe slice and season it anyway you like it. Then put in a little butter and double wrap in aluminun foil and cook in the coals. no need to turn em because they have coals on top and bottom......I always make a slight depression in the ground next to the fire and put down red coals, then I insulate the poorboys somewhat on top and bottom with ashes and then put more red coals on top.......bout 45 to 50 minutes......

I serve these as the side dish to grilled sirloins or venison steaks cooking on the fire....................LOL

We sold 10,000 in 8 months and I wasnt smart enough to keep one. I do have the blue line proofs and the original proof.
