If you want to start a traffic jam by your campfire then try making these aromatic Swiss Steak packets. The wonderfull fragrance will have the other campers green with envy. Camp cooking never smelled so good. Preparing this recipe is easy and kid friendly, once you have the veggies chopped up the kids can put them together and really let their foil shine. They are great on the campfire, on the grille or in the oven for a quick hearty dinner. In this recipe we use a thin cut steak which is very inexpensive and cooks in less time. If you use a thicker cut just make sure to increase the cook time.
