Campfire Foil Packets

    Campfire Foil Packets

    "For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving." — 1 Timothy 4:4

    The easiest campfire dinner! Everyone gets to build their own packet, tossing it right into the embers. Virtually no cleanup required.

    Ingredients

    • 1 lb ground beef or sliced smoked sausage
    • 4 medium potatoes, chopped
    • 2 large carrots, peeled and sliced
    • 1 onion, chopped
    • 4 tbsp butter (1 tbsp per packet)
    • Salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste
    • Heavy-duty aluminum foil

    Instructions

    1. Prep the foil: Tear off 4 large squares of heavy-duty foil (about 12x12 inches).
    2. Assemble: In the center of each square, place a handful of meat, potatoes, carrots, and onions.
    3. Season: Add a tablespoon of butter to the top of each pile. Season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
    4. Wrap: Fold the sides of the foil over the food, rolling the edges tightly to seal in the steam.
    5. Cook: Place the packets directly on hot coals (not into roaring flames). Cook for 30-40 minutes, turning once halfway through. Open carefully—the steam will be hot!
