Foil Packet Nacho Recipe
This easy foil packet nacho recipe is a camping favorite — crispy chips, melty cheese, and bold taco flavor, all cooked right over the fire with zero fuss!
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef cooked and prepared at home
- 2 bell peppers diced
- 1/2 white onion diced
- 1 large bag nacho chips
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- Sour cream
- Salsa
Instructions
- Prepare the ground beef at home and cook with 1-2 tsp of taco seasoning. Allow it to cool before placing into a large freezer bag for easy storage and packing.
- Lay out two large sheets of foil to create a tinfoil packet.
- Layer nacho chips, beef, pepper, onion, and cheese on the foil. We usually have two layers of nacho ingredients.
- Wrap the ingredients up in the foil.
- Cook over the campfire or grill for 15-20 minutes or until all of the cheese has melted.
Notes
- To make tinfoil packets, cut two pieces of aluminum foil to about 12". Layer them one on top of the other. Place recipe ingredients in the center. Bring up the longer edges of the foil and fold together. Grasp one end and roll it up, then repeat with the other end.
- Alternatively foil pie plates may be used to cook foil packet meals. Simply place the recipe ingredients in the pie plate and cover with aluminum foil before cooking.
- For best results, cook the foil packet on a grill over the open fire.
- Use caution when handling the foil packet as it can become hot while cooking.
