Camping Essentials for Foil Packet Recipes

• I love using these foil pie pans for all of my packet meals.
• These silicone tongs are perfect for flipping and grasping food.
• This Henckel Knife is my favorite for slicing and dicing in the kitchen.
• These grilling bags make clean up a breeze and these parchment paper bags are perfect for packaging.

We love how easy these kind of campfire dip meals are to prepare. I love how easy clean up is after!

Tips for Making Foil 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, repeating with the other end.
• Alternatively, foil pie plates may be used to cook foil packet meals. Simply place the recipe ingredients into 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.

The whole family devours this recipe and it makes the perfect, hearty lunchtime meal.
