CAMPFIRE FOIL PACKS
These are easy to make for camping, my husband loves them! We prepare them at home and then leave them in the cooler until we are ready to cook. You can use any combination of meat and vegetables that you like. Do not try to use less olive oil or foil or your dinner will burn. Be careful when opening foil as steam will have formed inside and can burn you.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with nonstick foil.
- Put the potatoes and pepper out on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the oil over the vegetables and toss along with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Spread the vegetables out in to a single layer on three-quarters of the baking sheet. Crumble the sausage on the remaining quarter of the baking sheet. Roast until the potatoes are fork tender and the sausage is cooked all the way through, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely. Pack into a large plastic re-sealable bag and refrigerate up to overnight. Pack in a cooler. (Make sure to pack all of the other ingredients and equipment too.)
- Build a medium campfire (if there is a grate for cooking then go ahead and use it).
- Make the foil packs: Cut eight 15-inch pieces of nonstick foil. Stack 2 pieces of foil, place your hand in the center and fold the sides up to create a shallow bowl. Repeat with the remaining pieces of foil so you have 4 bowls total. Put a quarter of the potato-sausage mixture in the center of each bowl. Crack the eggs into a quart-sized glass mason jar and shake well to scramble.
- Divide the eggs evenly among the bowls. Fold the sides over the fillings to create a seal. Place the foil packs directly onto the coals of the fire, or on the grate above the fire, and cook, rotating with tongs every few minutes until the eggs are set, about 10 minutes. This could take more or less time depending on the strength of the fire, careful of steam you can open the packs to check while they cook. Remove from heat and let cool for 2 minutes so you can handle the foil.
- Open each packs and flip the mixture out onto the middle of your tortillas and top with Cheddar, hot sauce, salsa, scallions and sour cream.

Steps:
- For each packet, place a 10 inches long piece of aluminum foil on the counter. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place sliced potato on the foil. Season them with salt & pepper to taste.
- Top with onions, peppers, then the chicken.
- Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil on top of the chicken. Season chicken with salt & pepper.
- Wrap the aluminum foil up tightly, making sure there are no tears or "leaks". Double wrap the packets in foil if necessary.
- Grill at 400 for 35 minutes, or until done. Or, cook over an open fire.
Tips:
- Choose sturdy vegetables. Root vegetables, such as potatoes and carrots, and cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli and cauliflower, hold up well to cooking in foil packs. Avoid delicate vegetables, such as leafy greens and tomatoes, which can easily overcook.
- Cut vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly. If you are using root vegetables, cut them into 1-inch cubes. Cut broccoli and cauliflower into florets.
- Don't overcrowd the foil packets. Leave some space between the vegetables so that they can cook evenly. If you are using meat or fish, place it in the center of the packet to ensure that it cooks through.
- Season the vegetables well. Use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add fresh herbs, such as rosemary or thyme.
- Add a little moisture. This will help to prevent the vegetables from drying out. You can add water, broth, or even a little olive oil.
- Seal the foil packets tightly. This will help to keep the steam in and prevent the vegetables from drying out.
- Cook the foil packets over medium heat. If you are using a campfire, place the foil packets on a bed of coals. If you are using a grill, preheat the grill to medium heat.
- Cook the foil packets for 15-20 minutes. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of vegetables you are using. Check the vegetables after 15 minutes to see if they are cooked through.
Conclusion:
Campfire foil packs are a great way to cook a delicious and healthy meal outdoors. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little planning, you can create a foil pack meal that everyone will enjoy.
