Keebler makes a very close copy that they call "Grasshopper" I can pick
up a packet at my local Hy-Vee or Schnuks stupormarkep. The problem is
that they don't seem to last very long after I open the packet.  Bv)=

That sounds a lot like C-Ration Stew - which I learned when I was in
the California State Military Reserve. Basically each member of the
squad empties the meat item from his C-ration into a helmet liner and 
it is cooked over the provided sterno or an actual campfire. And eaten
from a canteen cup. The troop who thought to bring garlic salt is the 
"King" of the mess.  Bv)=

      Title: Hobo Stew
 Categories: Meat, Vegetables, Potatoes
      Yield: 1 serving

MMMMM------------------------ANY OR ALL------------------------------
           Ground beef
           Garlic; minced
           Cherry tomatoes
           Onion; chopped
           Bell pepper; chopped
           Potatoes; sliced or diced
           Carrots; sliced
           Jalapenos; sliced

MMMMM-------------------------SEASONING------------------------------

           Salt & pepper *
           Ketchup & mustard

  * if you thought to bring along garlic or onion salt or  
  Lawry's/Mrs. Dash use those.

  BUILD CAMPFIRE: Build a campfire and wait for the
  charcoal or wood to ash over.

  MAKE FOIL PACKET: Lay two pieces on top of each other
  and shape it into a bowl.

  ADD INGREDIENTS: Add any ingredients you want, starting
  with ground beef and ending with cheese if you have
  any). Shape the foil into a ball.

  COOK: Place the foil pouches onto the hot coals. Cook
  for 30-60 minutes, rotating around the campfire, if
  needed. (If you added potatoes, it will probably take
  the full hour).

  Enjoy: Remove from the coals and let cool slightly.
  Carefully, peel open the pouch and eat with a fork.
