A great one pot meal for both kids and adults alike. I came across this recipe in my Better Homes and Garden Ground Meat Cookbook c 1973 Kind of Reminds one of the Old West doesn't it sitting around a camp fire or at least an outside cooking pit or charcoal BBQ. Anyway whether it is cooked on the stove, Cooking Pit, or BBQ it is bound to be good. Enjoy !
