  • The Classic: Hamburger and Vegg-All


This is my go-to foil dinner recipe.

    ½ lb ground hamburger meat
    ½ can of Veg-all or other mixed vegetables
    ½ can can of cream of mushroom soup
    spices and seasonings

Mix together the above ingredients with spices and condiments to your heart’s content. Place the mixture on the center of a sheet of foil, wrap in a tent pack, and place on hot coals for 25 minutes.

 

  • Sausage and Eggs


    1 frozen hash brown patty
    2 eggs, scrambled, uncooked
    2 frozen sausage patties
    spices and seasonings
    Cheese (optional)

Crimp the sides of your sheet of foil so that the eggs won’t go anywhere when you add them. First place your hash brown patty on the foil. Then place the eggs on top of the hash brown patty. Then place the sausage patties on top. Season with spices and condiments and wrap up in a tent pack.

Place on hot coals and cook for 15 minutes. Add the cheese when it’s ready (it turns out better than cooking it in the pack).

 

  • Muffins in an Orange Shell


Making muffins this way isn’t actually easier than baking them up at home, but it is infinitely cooler.

    6 oranges
    1 package of just add water muffin mix

Mix up the muffin mix as instructed. Cut off the quarter top of the oranges. Carefully scoop out the pulp; do not break the skin. Pour the muffin mix into the oranges. Wrap the oranges in foil, crimping the foil around the hole at top of the shell, but leaving it open.

Place the oranges upright in a stable position on hot coals and cook for about 10-15 minutes.

Makes six servings. Well, if you’re someone who can stop at one muffin.

Note: You can also cook eggs this way, but you’ll want to cover the whole orange shell with foil.

 

  • Chicken Casserole


    1 chicken breast
    1 cup of broccoli
    1/2 cup of prepared rice
    1 can of cream of chicken soup
    ranch dressing
    cheddar cheese
    spices

Pound the chicken thinly as chicken can take awhile to cook.

Mix together the broccoli, soup, and cheese. Add spices and condiments. Place the chicken breast on the center of the foil. Top with the soup mix and then rice. Seal in a tent pack.

Cook on hot coals for about 25 minutes (The thicker your chicken breast, the longer it will take).

 

  • Catch of the Day


    Fish that you caught with your own manly hands and filleted
    ¼ cup of onions
    1 tablespoon of butter, melted
    lemon juice
    salt and pepper
    parsley
    dillweed
    paprika

Mix the melted butter with a dash of lemon juice and the above spices to taste (with the exception of the paprika). Place the onions on the foil sheet. Place the fish on top and sprinkle with paprika. Wrap the foil in a flat pack.

Place on hot coals and scoop some hot coals on top of the packet. Cook for 15-20 minutes.

 

  • Apricot-Glazed Pork Chops


    1 boneless pork chop
    1/3 cup apricot preserves
    1 tablespoon soy sauce
    ½ package frozen stir-fry vegetates
    garlic powder, salt, pepper

Mix together the apricot preserves, the soy sauce, and any seasoning you’d like to add. Place the pork chop in the center of the sheet of foil. Spread half of the apricot sauce on top. Put the veggies on top/around the pork chop. Pour the rest of the sauce over the whole thing. Wrap in a tent pack. Place on hot coals and cook for 20 minutes.
