I remember "introducing" this stew that we made at camp to my Dad for the first time. I was about six and he wanted so badly to add other things that my child's mind said was wrong because "that's not how we did it at camp." Now, my adult brain can tell you variations can be done on the classic pocket stew to cater more to the adult palate. You can try ground chicken or even bite size pieces of breast with teriyaki sauce or steak bites seasoned with A-1!
Pocket Stew
Each pocket serves one
1/4 - 1/2 lb ground meat of your choice
1 small onions
1 large potato
2 carrots
salt
pepper
ketchup & mustard
Aluminum Foil
The amounts are just a baseline - add as much or as little as you like depending on your personal tastes and how hungry you are.
On a large piece of aluminum foil laid flat on the table, place the ground meat, separated into pieces and dropped on open half of the foil, leaving room for "seams" Chop the vegetables into medium sized cubes and add them to the meat. Season them with ketchup, mustard, salt and pepper.
Fold over the other half of the Aluminum foil. Next, fold the open sides and pinch them to seal around the meat mixture to make a pocket.
Place on grill. The amount of time that it cooks will depend on how much you put in the aluminum foil and how well done you like your meat and potatoes. You can pull the largest packet off the grill and check it after they have been cooking a while. If it needs more cooking, fold the foil back up to reseal the stew. Potatoes and Carrots are done when a fork can go through them.

Things to note about my recipes-
I was born in Dearborn, Michigan, so ALL of the recipes I make are American. When an ethnic tag is attached, it means the flavors of that ethnic influenced my spice choices. I don’t claim to write any authentic ethnic dishes. That being said, if it’s tagged “Noni’s Recipe” or “Pop’s Recipe” and also tagged “Italian,” it IS authentic San Marinese!
Recipes that are tagged “vegetarian” are prepared without meat. My vegetarian guidelines are choices my niece, who is a vegetarian, will eat. They are not strict vegan recipes.
