Foil Dinner

Notes

• Serves- 1 Scout
• Cooking time- 40-60 minutes including preparation
• Cost- 40p, averaged over 6 scouts
• Difficulty- 4/10
• Verdict- 5/10 Not filling enough for an evening meal, OK for lunch or late night snack. Disgusting if it goes wrong

Ingredients

• 1/4lb mince, 1/4lb broken up burger, or 2 cubed hot dogs
• Medium onion
• Vegetables e.g. potato, carrot, peas, sweet corn
• 1/4 pint mixed oxo or stock

Equipment

• 18" square of heavy duty tin foil
• Sharp knife
• Clean cutting surface

Instructions

• Peel and slice the onion into thin discs.
• Peel and cut vegetables into chunks the size of dice.
• Make an open foil pocket as shown above
• Arrange the onion up the sides of the packet, then meat and veg.
• Pour the stock in, but make sure not to go above half way.
• Wrap over the top to seal it up.
• Optionally wrap in second layer of foil to protect it.
• Place upright in embers for 20-30 minutes
• If meat is cooked then eat, if not give it another 5-10 mins.

Serving Sugestions

• Substitute baked beans for the vegetables and oxo, and use chunks of hotdog rather than mince. Scores 9/10.
• Replace the oxo with a dash of Worcestershire Sauce
• Use tinned vegetables rather than fresh to save time
