Campfire Foil Dinners

Yep, that's right... we went CAMPING this weekend, January. Yes, my kid has short sleeves on after dark and no coat. January. Loving Arizona. Right About Now:)
Ok, no pictures of the actual meal, but these two really LOVED it! I actually wanted to post this so I remember for next time that THIS is our favorite Foil Dinner recipe...

1 lb. hamburger
5 pototoes, cut into pieces
5 carrots, peeled and sliced
1 onion, sliced
1 can cream of chicken soup (if you like cream of mushroom, this would be good too, we just don't really like it...)
1 packet onion soup mix (4 Tablespoons, if using bulk like we do)
Montreal Steak Seasoning
sliced, fresh mushrooms
Brown hamburger, drain. Add onions and mushrooms, if desired (I have done this both ways: precooking the onions and adding them uncooked at the end, both are good.) Add Onion soup mix, cream of chicken soup, set aside.
Boil cut, peeled carrots and cut potatoes (we never peel them, but do what you feel good about)! We used our pressure cooker and did it in 3 minutes, but if you want to boil them, go right ahead!
On a square of foil, add potatoes and carrots, layer beef mixture next and then top with sliced onions and mushrooms. Liberally sprinkle steak seasoning over all and wrap the foil over. Wrap with a second layer of foil and refrigerate until campfire is ready.
On hot coals, rest foil packets for 5 minutes (or less) per side. This part is Ben's job, so I don't know the exact skill involved... The greatest part is, that they are ready when they are hot-- no actual cooking involved at the campsite! AND they taste SO GOOD after a day of hiking/outdoor adventure!
