Some of the recipes are Foil Dinners that are for all types of
campers since they can be cooked over an open fire, on a grill,
or even baked in an oven. Many of her recipes can be adapted for
cooking over an open fire, and they are great for busy cooks at home.
For Example:
Basic Hamburger Foil Dinner Per serving:
1 lg. hamburger patty (about 1/2 lb.)
1 small potato, sliced
2 carrots, sliced or sticks
1 onion slice
pat of butter or margarine
salt, pepper, garlic to taste
Tear off a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum
foil;
spray with nonstick cooking spray. Place raw hamburg in
center of foil and layer the rest of ingredients on top.
Put pat of butter on top. Fold as instructed below.
Repeat for each dinner. Cook for about 1 hr. or until
hamburger is done and vegetables are tender, turning
occasionally to prevent burning (not necessary to turn if
baked in an oven at 350 degrees).
FOLDING A FOIL DINNER: Fold long edges of foil
together and fold
down to food. Roll other 2 ends up to food. Gently press top seam down
to seal.
ALWAYS OPEN COOKED FOIL PACKETS CAREFULLY TO PREVENT STEAM BURNS.
Variations: Use your imagination--add 1/3 - 1/2
can undiluted soup
(such as cheddar cheese, golden mushroom, or cream soups), add
frozen veggies instead of fresh, or add fresh mushrooms or zucchini.
My book contains a section on "Foil
Cooking" with recipes such as "Beef
Stew in Foil," "Kraut & Ribs Foil Dinner," and "Ham
& Sweet Potato Foil Dinner."
