Lavon and Miss NiNi talk about making some unique eats with foil packet meals.

FOIL PACKET TIPS

Use heavy duty foil. If you want to eat directly from the packet, maybe even double the foil.

Use enough foil to tightly fold and seal ends and middle.

Make one large meal or individual packets.

Spray the side of the foil where food will be placed with cooking spray before adding food.

Always place meat on the bottom. Add high-moisture veggies like tomatoes and onions.

Cook over bed of coals, not on fire directly. Also good on the grill.

Cooking times depend on how hot the fire is, kind & amount of food in the packet.

Open carefully. It is full of steam.

Ground beef, onions, carrots, potatoes “hobo”meal is common. Try something new.

FAST FOILED FISH

  • 4 fresh or frozen fish fillets, your choice
  • ½ cup bottled buttermilk salad dressing
  • 2 cups broccoli flowerets
  • 1 red or green pepper cut into strips
  • 1 small sweet onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced

Place individual fish fillets on four 12 inch pieces of foil. Spoon 2 tablespoons dressing over each fillet. Surround with ¼ of each vegetable. Seal packets. Place in the oven at 450 degrees or on a hot grill or coals. Cook 20 to 25 minutes for fresh fillets. Add 10 minutes for frozen fillets. Let stand 2 minutes before opening. Makes 4 servings.
