Camping - Need your best foil recipes!?

[Kat6288]

I haven't been camping since I was little. I am trying to come up with some things I can easily cook for meals -- including breakfast. Any good ideas of what/how to cook using foil packets.

Cut two long strips of tinfoil and place them on top of each other.2. Make a hamburger patty (use ground turkey or ground beef)3. Place the patty in the middle of the tinfoil4.

Its not a foil recipe but it's pretty good. The instructions are vague because I've never seen it written down anywhere. Bring along some freezer bags and have a pot to boil water. This is a recipe for individual omelettes. Crack eggs (as many as you eat like 2 or 3) into a freezer bag and add omelet ingredients (like cheese, peppers, bacon or whatever you want) and mix it all up by massaging the bag. Place the sealed bags in boiling water and let the top of the bag hang over the edge. Let it sit in the boiling water until it isn't runny anymore. You can eat it out of the bag or put it on a plate. You can search google for more camping recipes

*Orange Cake*------Take an Orange and remove the fruit *WITH OUT TEARING THE WHOLE RIND OFF*, make sure you cut a whole in the top of the rind that allows you to take out the fruit and allows you to replace the cut piece to its original spot. Then take cake batter and put it inside the orange rind to about half way. Wrap it in foil, after replacing the cut hole, then place it in the fire for about 7 minutes. Enjoy!!!

I cannot give you my foil recipes as i don't like using foil. I use a skillet or a dutch oven

First, always use double layers of foil. It helps to keep the food from burning and it decreases the chance of the foil tearing and your food being ruined. Ove-Gloves work better than metal tongs for turning too, less rippage. For these I use the hand thermometer technique. If you can hold your hand over the coals for no longer than five seconds, they are about 350 degrees. Perfect for these recipes.Breakfast - Layer sausage or bacon, thin sliced potatoes, some green or red peppers, chopped onion and some scrambled (but not cooked yet) eggs into a double layer of foil. Fold closed and put on coals. Turn often. Check after twenty minutes.You can also make French toast in foil. Simply mix the eggs, soak the bread in the mixture and place two slices in pieces of foil large enough to cover them. It helps if you spray the foil with no stick spray first.Lunch - Get some pita bread. Open the bread, spread marinara sauce, pepperoni, Parmesan and mozzarella cheese, and a little garlic.Wrap in foil and put on coals for about five to ten minutes or however long it takes for the cheese to melt and the pepperoni to cook. Dinner - Fish is easy. Place a fillet on foil. Put a small slab of butter on top. Salt, pepper, garlic, a lemon slice. I like to put a little dill on it too. Close it up and put on coals for about fifteen minutes. Meat loaf. For each person use about a quarter pound of burger. Mix bread crumbs, eggs and spices with the meat. Shape it into little loafs. Place the loaf on a fairly good size piece of foil, about a foot and a half long by a foot wide. Fold the sides up a little and put some cut up carrots, small potatoes and even some celery if you like, around the loaf. Spread ketchup on top of loaf. Fold up short sides, then long sides. Seal the well. Be sure to leave some room above for steam and juices. Put on coals, rotating them every fifteen minutes or so. Check for doneness after half an hour. Using a meat thermometer works best, 160 degrees is safe. Pull them off the heat, open the foil and serve.

put salmon fillets on to a piece of foil and add lemon juice pepper what ever seasoning you want. then wrap up both ends of the foil so no steam can get out lay the foil on a log and when the foil is puffed up as far as it will go its ready. eat with rice or something along those lines.

I like to make "hobos" or "silver turtles". Here is what you need:ground beefonionsgarlicpotatoescarrotsbroccoli (if you like it - it soaks up the good juices!)all purpose seasoning (I like to use Cavender's Greek seasoning, or you can use Season-all)Lay out one large piece of foil (one packet per person) and place food on it and season liberally. Cover it with another piece of foil and crimp the edges to make a self-enclosed pocket. Heat over charcoal (or a good hot fire coals - not flames!) for about 10-12 minutes then flip and heat another 10-12 minutes. DO NOT poke holes in it as the juices will drip out and cause flare ups because of the grease!You might have to open it up to see if the meat is cooked but it shouldn't take longer than 25 minutes.I make this every time I go car camping and it's a hit!
