carrots (2 to 3 peeled and diced)
1/2 diced onion
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1/2 soup can milk

Brown ground beef in dutch oven over fire. Add rest of ingredients. Cook over low heat until vegetables and meat are tender (25 minutes). If desired, drain and add: 1 can green beans and 1 can liquid-packed corn. Cook an additional 10 minutes to heat vegetables. Serves 6-8. EXCELLENT!!!

Cooking Inside an Orange

When cooking inside an orange, use an orange with a thick skin because it's easier to remove the meat from the orange. To prepare the orange, cut it in half and place your fingers between the meat of the orange and the skin. Slide your fingers back and forth to loosen and separate the meat from the skin. A spoon can also be used to remove the meat of the orange. Eggs, muffins, or cakes cook well in the shell. With cakes and muffins, fill the shell 2/3rds full of batter. Place the shell on a square piee of heavy-duty foil, bringing the foil up around the orange and coming together at the top of the orange. Leave enough room for the food to rise in the shell. Place it on the hot coals for 10 minutes or until the food is cooked.
