poor man's stew

I got this recipe from one of my (many) mother-in-laws. She recited it to me over coffee one morning, and I've never forgot it - it's that easy and fast! My kids liked this when they were in elementary school. But later, they liked to make it when they where on their own for the first time. It's also not a bad camp fire recipe.
