Tin Foil Dinners

I was digging through some recipes and found that I had not posted this recipe. This was definitely one of my favorite meals growing up. Enjoy!

Version 1:

1 1/2 pounds Lean Ground Beef
3 Carrots, Peeled and cut into chunks
5 Red Potatoes cut into chunks
2 Celery cut into chunks
1 Onion Cut into wedges OR diced
1/2 head of Broccoli cut into small florets (optional)
1 Can 98% Fat Free Cream of Mushroom Soup
Tin Foil

Pre-heat oven to 350.  Tear off 6 good sized pieces of tin foil.  Portion your meat and veggies into 6.  Shape your hamburger into patties and place in the middle of the tin foil sheet and season with salt and pepper.  Top with about 2 TBSP of the Cream of Mushroom Soup.  Then place the portion of veggies on top and season a bit more with salt and pepper.  Folding up the two longer sides of the foil you will create a little pouch.  Then fold up the shorter sides and kind of roll and crimp them to create a good seal.  Bake at 350 for about an hour or until veggies are soft.  Open the tin foil pouch carefully as it will be hot and steamy.

Enjoy!


This next version is closer to the ones I remember eating growing up, but they are both delicious.
