Chili Swiss Steak


     I liked the looks of this Chili Swiss Steak from Betty Crocker because it had all the elements of a good campfire dinner, very little refrigeration required and easy to prepare.  I was feeling lazy today and didn't even bother to brown the beef.  In my 10 inch oven I baked it for 1 hour and 15 minutes with 10 coals in a ring around the bottom and 24 on the lid.  After 45 minutes I stirred in the corn, and didn't add the green onions because I used a can of stewed tomatoes with onions, celery and green pepper.  It's got some heat, just enough to warm you on the way down.  Cut the beef on the thin side and it will cook faster, the longer it simmers the more tender it will be.  Serve it over rice or with flour tortillas and enjoy a zippy, simple camp supper.
