Foil Dinner

Sorry we haven't posted a recipe in a while. Carrie is busy moving, Jen is busy with her three kids and all the things they have going on and I have just been making dinners that we already have on here. I recently made the Apricot chicken, Mozzarella chicken, and Better than Sex Cake and they were all so good! Oh, I also made Grandma's beef stew and LOVED it! Anyway, I just started a low carb diet to try to lose the rest of this baby weight so I will be posting lots of low-carb meals on here since I will be trying a lot of new dishes. The first one I have for you is the old camping classic Foil Dinner. This is normally something you would make over the fire or grill out in the woods, but I have a recipe for one that you bake in the oven and I thought it would be something different to try. I really liked how it came out.

1 1/2 pounds ground hamburger meat
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 envelope onion soup mix
2 medium carrots-quartered (I just cut up a bag of already peeled baby carrots)
2 stalks celery (i used about 4 so there were more veggies)
3 medium potatoes - pared & quartered (i put these in for my hubby but didn't eat them since they add carbs)
3 tablespoons water


Heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a 9x13 pan with foil, leaving edges to bring up and together to seal.
Stir together mushroom soup and onion soup mix, spread over meat. Top with veggies, sprinkle water over veggies. Fold over foil and seal securely. Cook 1 1/2 hours or until tender.
Sprinkle with salt/pepper if desired.
