Foil Packet Meals etc

Foil Packet Meals Burrito Dogs 16 ounces refried beans 10 ounces enchilada sauce 1/3 cup chopped green onions 3 cloves minced garlic 8 large corn tortillas 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded 1 pound hot dogs In a small bowl combine beans, 1/3 cup enchilada sauce, green onions and garlic. Lay tortillas flat; spread with equal portions of bean mixture. Sprinkle with cheese; set aside. Grill hot dogs. Place each on a tortilla. Fold edges over hot dogs at ends and one side. Roll up. Brush all over with enchilada sauce; wrap in foil. Grill, turning occasionally, 10-15 minutes. Servings: 4 Driver Friendly Breakfast Burrito 1 lb. Sausage Flavor your Choice 12 Eggs 1/2 cup Cheese, grated 1 tsp. Butter Tortillas Brown the sausage, leave cooked sausage in skillet and add eggs. Cook, stir and scramble constantly. When done, remove from heat. Have the cheese and flour tortillas ready. I heat 3 tortillas at a time by sprinkling with a little water and heating them stacked in the microwave for 35 seconds. Bring them outand assemble on counter-top. Lightly spread butter on your tortillas and add cheese on tortilla center and about the same amount of egg/sausage mixture. Roll up tightly and wrap in foil. Continue this process until you have used all your egg mixture. Keep refrigerated until ready for breakfast. To heat: remove foil, place one in microwave for 45 seconds, wrap with paper towel and eat a great tasting breakfast going down the road. Great with a bottle and milk. This recipe usually makes about 18 small rolls or 8 large ones, depending on what size tortilla you use. I usually do this at home the day before we leave on our trip and we have ready good homemade breakfast on the road easy at hand. Campfire Pizza 1 Pkg. Large Pita Bread 1 Can Pizza Sauce or Primavera Spaghetti Sauce (for the veggies) 3 Slices Salami 2 Slices Bacon, cut into small pieces 1 Pkg.

Place meet and veggies on top, place on tin foil over campfire grill (make sure the flame is not too high) or on top of low flame, barbeque for about 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and bacon is cooked through. Comments: Very easy and quick to make, fun for kids to help out with preparations of pizzas - they can add whatever toppings they like. Watch it closely though, it cooks fast and may burn. When cooked over the campfire it tastes like wood oven pizza!

Black Pepper Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil Tear a piece of foil large enough to hold roast and allow for air space, cup edges to hold liquids. Place the roast on the foil, pour bourbon over the top. Spice as indicated. Drape with bacon. Wrap with foil, leaving air space over the top. If using strong bourbon, light so alcohol burns off. Place on side of low fire. Cook time is about 20 minutes per pound. Works well in standard oven at 350°. Campfire Corn on the Cob corn on the cob, with the husks left on Butter Salt and Pepper to taste Soak the corn, with the husks still on, in water making sure they are fully submersed. Remove the corn from the water and place directly over or on hot coals. Allow to cook for about 20-25 minutes, rotating a couple of times, and then remove from the fire and remove the husks. The corn will be roasted and it's delicious with some butter and/or salt. Campfire Potatoes 6 medium Potatoes (peeled) 1 large jar Italian dressing 1 large onion 1 red pepper 2 green peppers Cooking spray Cut potatoes into 1/2 in slices. Cut onion and peppers into slices. Put everything into a Ziploc bag, then add 1/2 the bottle of dressing. Close bag and invert several times, making sure that all of the potatoes and peppers are coated. Marinate for 1-2 hours. Lay out a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil, folding up the sides so that it looks like a cookie sheet. Spray the sheet completely with the cooking spray. Empty contents of Ziploc bag onto foil, spreading out items so that they are evenly dispersed. Pour remainder of dressing over potatoes. Take a sheet of aluminum foil slightly bigger than the first one, spray on side with cooking spray, and lay on top of potatoes. Working from one side, seal the foil completely so that it forms a pouch. Place on a grill about 7 inches above fire/coals, cook one side for 15 minutes, then turn over and cook other side for 10 minutes. Remove from grill, carefully open one end of bag and test potato doneness. Return to grill if necessary. Campfire Chicken Split chicken breast Red potatoes (cut in half) Carrots (cut in half) Onion (cut in half) Plum tomato (cut in half) Place the above ingredients into aluminum foil sheets, make into pocket. You can add some seasonings (I use some balsamic dressing mix). Bake in the oven or over a campfire for about an hour. If over the fire, turn frequently. You can also add a small piece of corn on the cob. This is great - it's a I full meal but no pots or dishes to wash. Great for camping. Dilled Potatoes One lg can of peeled white potatoes (drained) OR 20 golf ball size potatoes (cleaned & unpeeled & pre-boiled) 1 - 2 t garlic powder 1 - 2 t salt & pepper 1/2 stick butter small bunch of fresh dill OR 2 T dried dill 1 small sliced onion (optional) 2 ice cubes (optional) Make a foil pocket.

Place on hot coals for approx. 3-4 mins. each side depending on how hot your coals really are. Once done, unwrap sandwich, dip in ranch dressing and enjoy. *note - pre-packaged sliced meats that you find in the lunchmeat case at the supermarket work well. Pre-packaged shredded cheeses also work well.

Gather foil sides into a point resembling a hobo's pouch. Do NOT leave an opening for steam. You can cook these on the grill or sit them inside a pan if using the campfire...or perhaps even by putting them on a hot stone near but not touching the fire. Cook until the meat is done. Open and enjoy right from the foil. You can also use smoked sausage, fish or ham.

We put 2 in each pack ... 1 pack usually per person!!! Fresh Lemons, slice thinly (unless you REALLY like lemons!!) Crushed Garlic Italian Seasoning A smidgeon of Real Butter per pack ( Spread LIGHTLY on tinfoil) Take a piece of tinfoil - shiny side IN - place 4 lemon slices - to make a square. Lay 2 breasts, side by side, each on 2 of the lemon slices. Sprinkle breasts with Italian seasoning, and crushed garlic (use your own judgment on the garlic.) If you are a true lemon lover, place 2 more slices on top of each breast. (or 1 will work also!!) Or none at all! Pull sides of tinfoil up and roll the sides together back down and then roll the ends in. Place the packs right onto your hot coals!! This works great on a grill, or even an open campfire. Cook for about 40 minutes, turning about every 10 minutes. Mineshaft Pig 1 potato 1 sausage link Core a tunnel in a potato with an apple corer, then stuff the tunnel with a sausage link.

No Burn Fish 2 fish fillets (flounder, cod or striper is best but will work with any flaky fish) 1 medium onion 1 lemon 3 tab sweet butter (approx. 1 teaspoon each) Paprika Garlic powder Salt and pepper Cut half the onion into round slices and arrange them in the center of a sheet of aluminum foil. Add 1 tab butter and the juice from half the lemon. Place one fish fillet over the onion slices. Cut 2 or 3 more round onion slices and place them on top of the fish fillet. Add 1 tab of butter. Place the second fish fillet on tip of the first. Cut the remained of the onion into round slices and lay them over the top of the second fillet. Add 1 tab butter and the juice from the other half lemon. Sprinkle with paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste. Fold up the aluminum foil over the fish taking care to make sure the edges are securely wrapped and sealed to form a tight package. Place on hot BBQ coals for 10-15 minutes per side. When done carefully unwrap the aluminum foil (watch out for the steam!). Server with tartar sauce and fresh lemon. NOTE: The time to cook is approximate. Thicker fillets will require more time to cook. Comments: The beauty of this recipe is that so long as the aluminum foil is properly sealed, for all intents and purposes, the fish can’t be over cooked. Also, the lemon juice, butter and natural juices make it virtually impossible to burn the fish.
