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!

Sausage and Pepper Sandwiches

I've always loved the idea of sausage and peppers as an appetizer. So when I realized I could make a sausage and peppers sandwich, I was hooked! The other day for a staff meeting at work, we brought out the grill and tried it out!! I was too excited though and forgot to take any pictures!


The Recipe:

• Italian Sausage
• Red Bell Peppers
• Green Bell Peppers
• Onions
• Bread
• Spicy Mustard (optional)

I got the charcoal grill going and put the sausage in foil baking dish and put over the coals. This was for two reasons. I wanted to make sure I could slow cook all of the sausage without it burning or splitting, and I also wanted to capture the juices from the sausage to give the peppers and onions a bigger flavor. When everything is done, it's time to build some sandwiches! I used kaiser rolls for mine. French or Italian bread would work fine too.
Add some spicy mustard or tomato sauce if you have it on hand!
