Using foil pouches for dinners while camping is a cheap and easy way to have delicious meals while camping. This recipe is a case in point, it is cheap and you have no clean up. You can dip the stew right out of the pouch and just toss it in the trash when done. You can also serve pre-buttered garlic bread that you buy at the store in the foil bag and throw it on the fire about 10-15 minutes before the stew is done. Then you can dip the bread in the stew pouch to soak up the remaining broth. As the old saying goes, this recipe "really hits the spot."
