I really appreciate the concept of this recipe. I decided to enhance it by adding mushrooms and extra spices, but unfortunately, I found the dish to be rather bland. There was also excess liquid, which I suspect came from the mushrooms. Surprisingly, despite using onions, garlic, and a variety of spices, the flavor was lacking. While the meat was cooked perfectly, I felt that the potatoes and carrots could have used an additional 10-15 minutes of cooking time. I'm interested to know if others encountered similar issues.

I prepared my meal using hamburger and kielbasa sausage. It turned out absolutely fantastic.

I accidentally forgot to dice the meat into cubes, which resulted in the carrots and potatoes not cooking fully within the given time frame.

I really enjoyed this product, but I discovered that it cooks better on a camp stove than over a fire. It's too easy to overcook when using an open flame.

Cooking meat over a campfire can be tricky to gauge when it's done, but the end result was still incredibly delicious. I also threw in some sweet potatoes, in addition to the potatoes and carrots, which added a nice touch to the meal.
