You could hypothetically cook this with a campfire if you are careful to not melt the aluminum.

Ingredients

Ground Beef2 1/2 Lbs
Egg1 large
Worchestershire Sauce2 Tbsp
Olive Oil1 1/2 Tbsp
Parmesean Cheese (grated)1 1/2 Tbsp
Garlic Powder1 tsp
Salt1 tsp
Pepper1 tsp
Onion Powder1/2 tsp
Potato (sliced)Up to you
Carrot (sliced)Up to you
Celery (sliced)Up to you
Onion (sliced)Up to you
Garlic (minced)Up to you
ButterUp to you
Lawry's Seasoning SaltUp to you

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°.

  2. Mix well the beef, egg, worchestershire sauce, oil, cheese, garlic and onion powder, salt and pepper in a bowl.

  3. Form the meat mixture into patties.

  4. On a large square of heavy duty aluminum foil, place a patty in the center.

  5. Add potato, carrot, celery, onion, garlic, a pat of butter, and a sprinkle of Lawry's on top of/around the patty.

    It's up to you how much you add of each, and you should add each of them, but just make sure it's not too much that you can't make the pocket.

  6. Fold the tinfoil into a well sealed pocket. Repeat for all pockets.

    The seam for the pocket must be on top! We are cupping the juices as it bakes.

  7. Put pockets on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour. Enjoy!
