Tin Foil Stew Food

TIN FOIL STEW

Steps:

• On a large square sheet of foil, layer beef, potato cubes, carrots, onion and garlic. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, top with butter and a tablespoon of water.
• Roll edges of tin foil together and seal tightly.
• Bury it in campfire coals or put in a preheated oven at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). For either cooking method, cooking time is about 1 hour. You can eat it right out of the foil, or empty it into a dish.

FOIL STEW

Steps:

• Put all foil stew ingredients in the middle of a large rectangle of heavy duty aluminum foil.Bring the foil up so that the ingredients are resting inside in a slightly elongated pile.
• Fold the top edges down together about 1 inch and crease. Fold over and do it again, and then once again. It helps to hold the foil stew up as you do this, because this allows you to keep some extra space in the packet, which helps in the cooking process. In other words, the folds themselves need to be very tight, but the foil stew inside should have a little wiggle room.
• Push the two ends down so that your foil stew is safely in the middle of the packet.
• Fold or roll the ends tightly.
• Get a second piece of foil and repeat steps A-D. Ready for the fire.
• To bake over an open fire, simply place your prepared foil stew on a bed of coals for 25-50 minutes, turning every 10-15 minutes. Check stew after 30 minutes, or 5 minutes after you begin to smell it cooking. See Cooking Time in NOTES below for more information.

TERRIFIC TIN-FOIL POTATOES

Steps:

• Pull off two large sheets of heavy duty foil.
• Attach them together along wide edge, by making a"seam" in the middle (put edges together and fold over at least twice), so that you have one large sheet.
• Slice potatoes approximately 1/4" thick.
• (Peel, or not- up to you).
• Place in center of tin-foil.
• Slice onions and red pepper and pile on top of potatoes.
• Sprinkle the minced garlic, soup mix, thyme, and salt and pepper over the piled veggies.
• Dot with cubes of butter.
• Wrap tightly in the tin-foil, and cook on the grill about 30-45 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
• (You may want to place foil packet on top of one more sheet of foil just to make sure it doesn't burn- depends on how hot the grill is!).
• You can also bake in the oven at 375 for 45 minutes.
• (Place on a jelly roll pan or cookie sheet for support).

TIN FOIL STEW

Steps:

• Using a double layer square of heavy duty foil, form a bowl around your fist.
• Form 1 inch balls with the ground beef and place in bowl.
• Add the desired amount of sliced vegetables.
• Add A-1, ketsup, and garlic salt to taste.
• Pour water over the lot.
• Seal foil packet by tightly twisting top to look somewhat like a Hersheys Kiss. Be sure water cannot leak out in the cooking. (Alternately, a sandwich wrap can be used, but kids are not usually very good at getting these leak-free).
• Place packets between hot coals. (For a group, we would assign each girl a number and place the packets in a grid, so each girl got the packet she had made).
• Cook 1/2 to 1 hour depending on how hot your fire is. You may need to carefully open one to check for doneness.
• When done, carefully open the "bowl" and eat when cool enough to not burn you.

EASY HOBO TIN FOIL DINNER RECIPE

Steps:

• Use a large square piece of aluminum foil for each tin foil dinner. Spray foil with nonstick cooking spray.
• Separate ground beef into 4 equal patties, or steak into 4 servings, and place in the center of each piece of foil.
• Divide potatoes, carrots, and onion evenly between all 4 dinners and place on top of meat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce on top of each dinner and fold foil up tightly around the entire meal.
• Cook on a grill on medium-high heat or an open fire for 25-30 minutes, or until vegetables and meat are cooked through.
• Open foil carefully and top with BBQ sauce and shredded cheese.
