We used to do these for Girl Scouts, no tomatos, but a few pats of butter instead. I make them occasionally for the family. I sometimes add pepper strips or zukes to it for more veg. A great creative and thrifty way to make a great meal.

i grew up making these over a campfire when we used to go on family campouts. i was excited to find this recipe a year ago because its so good and brings back good memories. i use fresh carrots, potatoes, garlic and i actually add whole can tomatoes including juice. it keeps everything moist and so delicious. i have also tried ground turkey and it turns out great as well. Thx for posting!!!

Very easy! Used 1 thick pork chop, and some steak seasoning,otherwise everything else stayed the same. Baked in the oven at 350 degrees for about 1 hour, just because the weather was lousy.(Those darn hurricanes!) Can't wait to try chicken next time. Made this for Fall PAC '08. Thanks for dinner!
