Personal Notes:
This recipe was learned in Girl Scouts and used when we went camping (what? us camping??). The other essential thing to know about this recipe is that it required eating it while sitting on the "Sit Upon" you made earlier in the year.
It was such an easy meal that occasionally we'd make it at home using Dad's Weber grill. We enjoyed it a lot more in the comfort of our own home.
