Campfire Foil Pack Recipes, Ideas and Guide

Strapped for ideas? What could be easier than letting everyone make their own combos in foil packs and letting them cook over the open fire? This makes everyone feel more involved in their food packs and makes for a fun dinner around the camp.

Toss all your ingredients into your sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil. These work great on the racks above fire pits, or put over red hot coals and flipped frequently so they don't burn up. I would check them every fifteen minutes. Times may vary considering what you put inside. Potatoes will obviously take longer to steam than a pack filled with veggies. I would recommend all packs contain at least some veggies since they are good for steaming due to the water content.
