Campfire Cooking
Mock Steak

Here are both the "home cookin'" and
campfire versions of this recipe from Angie
Trout of Caledonia, Oho.

Home version

Ingredients:
3 pounds ground beef
3 cans evaporated milk
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
Flour
Salt and pepper

Directions:
Pat the 3 pounds of ground beef onto a large
cookie sheet. It should just go to the rim of the
cookie sheet. Cover with foil or plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours and as
long as over night.

each piece of meat with flour, salt and pepper to taste.

Brown hamburger squares slightly on both sides in a skillet and then place
them in a covered roaster. Pour the soup and evaporated milk over the top.
You can stir a little bit.

Bake in a 350-degree oven for about 2 hours. Check after one hour, as oven
temperatures vary.

"The soup and milk make a delicious gravy to have with your mock steak. It's
very tender and tastes just like steak and not a burger!" Angie says.

Serves 4-6 (depending on hungry they are).

Campfire version

Prepare the ground beef ahead of time and place frozen or refrigerated
squares in the cooler.

Depending on the size of your Dutch oven, amounts may have to be reduced
to:
1-2 pounds of ground beef
2 cans of evaporated milk
1 can of cream of mushroom soup

Place the ground beef squares in a Dutch oven. Pour cream of mushroom
soup and canned milk over the top. Cook over a low to medium fire until meat
is fully cooked.

Another option is to crumble the ground beef into a Dutch oven and cook it
with the evaporated milk and cream of mushroom soup.
