We're going good ole fashioned camping style. I'm sure there is a recipe out there for these, but we just put it all in a foil pouch and go to town. This is what we use for our family of 4.
1 lb ground beef
1 can corn
1 can beans (whatever we have - like black, or kidney)
1 can cream of chicken soup
salt and pepper
4 carrots, diced
1/4 onion, diced
4 russet or red potatoes, diced
I put two pieces of foil (about 18" long) on the counter together for each person. Divide all the ingredients between the four foil pouches (Daddy gets more, the kids get smaller ones). Put the meat on the bottom and everything on top of that. It helps if your meat isn't in a solid patty - it'll cook better and faster. Then you fold it all up - I like to fold two sides in and roll them down like a chip bag and then fold the ends up like a chip bag too that way they stay sealed better and you know how to open them because you don't want your foil to tear if you have to put them back in again.
You can grill them on medium-high or bake them in the oven (I usually do 375 for about 45 min) but make sure you check them to be certain the meat is cooked through. If you use the oven, make sure you have a cookie sheet under the foil packets to catch the juices that will most likely fall - please don't cause yourself the unfortunate experience of cleaning your oven in the summer!
That's a lot of words! You'll figure it out. I believe in you!
