Steps:
- Lay FOUR foil pieces along counter or on table top (set other four pieces aside).
- In center of foil, dice one potato and carrot; slice one mushroom.
- Crumble one-fourth of the hamburger over the 'shroom.
- Slice or mince one-quarter of the onion over the burger.
- Press one clove of garlic over the onion.
- Add half a teaspoon of beef base to the mound.
- Snip up one tablespoon of butter over each pile.
- Sprinkle on salt & pepper and any herbs (basil, parsley, thyme, oregano) you like.
- Bring ends of foil to center, then make small folds (twice) to lock in the top. Wrap ONE end up, roll end tightly.
- Lift packet up and gently shake goodies to compress.
- Add 2 tablespoons of water to the open end, then carefully fold and roll up the open end.
- Set rolled packet into center of SECOND sheet of foil and wrap again. This prevents any gravy-juice from sneaking out.
- Over indirect campfire/grill or rake campfire coals over -- cook 30 minutes (check to be sure spuds are soft).
- OPEN CAREFULLY as the inside will be steamy and HOT!
- Serve from inner foil or transfer to a plate.
- BRILLIANT IDEA: Freeze the packets after wrapping -- then they'll stay nice and cold longer when you get to your campsite, and can be served the second night out.
- OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS: frozen broccoli or mixed veggies; fresh corn, beans, or peas.
- SAUCE IT UP: Add about 1/8 to 1/4 cup of cream of 'shroom/celery soup for a nice gravy/sauce.

SOUTHWESTERN SPUDS
I came up with this attractive side dish when my best friend unexpectedly stayed for dinner. While my husband grilled pork chops, I perked up potatoes with tasty taco fixings. The results received rave reviews. This recipe is even quicker to fix with leftover baked potatoes. -Penny Dykstra Porterville, California

- Prick the potatoes with a fork before baking: This will help the potatoes to bake evenly.
- Bake the potatoes until they are soft: The potatoes should be cooked through and have a slightly crispy skin.
- Top the potatoes with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include cheese, sour cream, butter, and chives.
