A Frisbee disc makes a great cutting board or plate. Best of all, after you wash it, you can toss it around to dry it off.

At Home
- Cut up all of the veggies except for the potatoes and put them in zip-top bags.
- Scrub, wash, and dry each potato. Don’t slice them yet, or they’ll turn brown before you get to camp.
- Divide the ground beef into four equal portions. Form each portion into a hamburger patty. Put the patties in a zip-top bag.
- Store the ingredients in a cold cooler until you’re ready to use them.

If you forget tongs, you can use two long sticks to pluck foil packets out of the coals.
Body
At Camp
- Build a campfire. You’ll need a bed of glowing orange coals to cook on, so while you’re waiting for the fire to burn down, get the food ready.
- Cut the potatoes into slices.
- Tear off four 2-foot-long pieces of aluminum foil. Put a hamburger patty in the center of each foil piece. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the beef.
- Put potato slices and a handful of veggies over the beef.
- Put a tablespoon of butter over the veggies. Sprinkle seasoning salt on everything.
- Fold the foil into packets as shown in the photos. Place the packets with the folds facing upwards on a bed of hot coals.
- It takes 30 to 60 minutes for the beef to cook and the veggies to get tender. Every so often, pull one of the packets off the coals and check to see if it’s done.

Be careful when you open foil packets! They’re hot and full of steam.
