Campfire Stew

Recipe Information
Source: susanm Serves/Makes:10 Ingredients 3 lbs (1.4 kg). ground beef 1 large onion, peeled and diced 1 tbsp (15 ml) fat 3 (10 oz (280 grm).) cans concentrated vegetable soup salt pepper Preparation Make little balls of ground beef, adding seasoning. Fry with onions in a frying pan or in the bottom of a kettle until the onion is light brown and balls are well-browned all over. Pour off the excess fat. Add vegetable soup and enough water or soup stock to prevent sticking. Cover and cook slowly until the meat balls are cooked all through. Serve hot. Comments This recipe comes from "Cooking Out-of-Doors", a publication of the Girl Scouts of the United States of America (GSUSA) in 1960. Every troop had some version of this stew. As a girl, my troop just browned the ground beef without making balls and always used vegetarian vegetarian soup because of the alphabet noodles in it. Twenty years later, when I had my own troop of girls, they still enjoyed spelling out their names as they ate the stew. This is still a family tradition for the first night of a camping trip.
