Tin Foil Dinners

Tin Foil Navigator

One of the things I like about camping is the food. It's so simple. In it's most primitive setting, it's just cutting up some vegetables, adding meat and seasoning, and wrapping in foil to place near the campfire. That translates to those nights at home, when you just don't feel look cooking and you want to let the grill do all of the work!


The Recipe

The Tools:

• Grill, Gas or Charcoal
• Tin Foil

The Ingredients

• 3 Potatoes, Chopped
• 3 Carrots, Peeled and Chopped
• 1 Onion, Diced
• 1 lb Ground Beef
• Seasoning Salt
• Pepper

The Method

This recipe will me 3 to 4 servings. Start by getting 3 to 4 large pieces of tin foil. Fill up each piece of foil evenly with the meat and veggies. Season with seasoning salt and pepper. Wrap up with the foil. I like to cook these on the top rack of the grill at around 350 to 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes a side. Grab some paper plates and open the foil right on the plate!

Happy eating!
