Campfire Coffee Can Casserole

littleturtle's Note:

This came from a kids cookbook so it's really easy. If you don't want to, you don't even have to wash the casserole pan when this is gone. You can make this an indoor recipe by cooking it at 350F in a casserole dish in the oven for an hour or so.

My family loved this. I added a layer of onions and celery for good measure and threw an egg into the hamburger. This will become a family favorite for sure.
