Coffee Can Stew Recipe

This Recipe is meant for Scouts BSA, Webelos scouts.

1 coffee can per person
aluminum foil
oven mitts
stirring spoon

Per person:
2 strips bacon
1/4lb chicken, hamburger, or stew beef
1/2 potato
1 carrot
1/2 celery
garlic powder
salt
pepper

This is similar to a hobo dinner, but with water added. Great for younger ones just starting to cook as long as there is no rush to finish the meal time.

Dice all the vegetables.
Cut the bacon into squares.
Cut the chicken or beef into small pieces.
Place bacon in the bottom of can - the grease helps stop sticking.
Drop in pieces of vegetable and meat - as much as the person will eat.
Add seasoning as desired.
Add 1 or 1.5 cups water.
Cover with an aluminum foil lid.
Place directly in campfire coals.
Cook for 45-60 minutes.
