   That is a really good recipe. However, if you were a reader who didn’t find it tasty, I can offer a few suggestions:
   -First of all, beef isn’t the only kind of meet you can use. You can also enjoy chicken, pork, and grilled vegetables using the same cooking method.
   -Potatoes are really easy and fun to make this way. Don’t include butter in the packet though, or you’ll end up with a complete mess.
   -If you aren’t going to do this with adult help, you need to cook these between the coals. This way, it is a much safer way to enjoy a delicious meal. Even using this method, you need to remember to be very careful getting it out of the fire.
   -And last but not least, a lot of people complain that this recipe doesn’t work for a reason- they forget to flip over the packet. If you don’t, there is a 50% chance that you might be in for a slightly underdone meal.

   this sounds like a foil pack. you just cook a hamburger with toppings(not condements), cut up potatoes, and other things, in foil. then you put in a bit of water, make 100% sure the foil is closed up, put it on a fire, watch it swell up, and remember to flip it over once so the whole thing cooks well

   WHY DO YOU CALL IT AN EASY MEAL FOR CAMPING

   I have had these on several occasions, and they are delectable, but I have a few suggestions. I personally like having the beef patty with green peppers, onions, potatoes and carrots. They go good with a slice of bread. Also, instead of putting the foil packs (as I call them) into a camp fire, try putting them into a bed of hot coals. They’re easier and safer to removie than an open fire.

    When you do this it should have a good seal and a way to check is the
    tin foil should blow up with air.
