Stove Top tin foil dinner

We love tin foil dinners, but, we did not like the bacon was never crispy and the vegetables were unevenly cooked.  So to solve this problem we did it on the stove, which may make a few more dishes but is so good!

Ingredients:

1/2 lb ground beef
3 medium potatoes
1/2 lb bacon
onion
carrots
butter
cheese (optional)

What to do:

The ingredients should be cooked in this order for optimum flavor and doneness.   In a medium skillet cook bacon.  While the bacon is cooking, Melt 1 Tbs of butter in a second skillet, add onion and cook till tender. wash and cut potatoes into cubes.  cut carrots into small pieces. Once the onion is tender start cooking the carrot for about 4-5 minutes, then add the potatoes, season generously with salt and pepper.  Cover with lid.  ( don't forget about the bacon, you should flip it)  While all that is cooking.  separate the meat into 8 equal chunks. flatten the meat and put a cube of cheese in it. season the meat with your favorite seasoning, wrap the meat around the cheese and pack it tightly.  remember to stir the vegetables.  When nice and crispy take the bacon out, set on a plate with a paper towel under it, and pour out some of the fat.  Cook the meatballs in the bacon fat for extra flavor.  These need near constant attention, so that they don't burn.  Rotate them once one side is brown. Chop up the bacon into small pieces.  When everything is done, mix it all in one skillet, add some salt and pepper to taste.  Dig in!
