Tin Foil Dinners

*This recipe is low-carb if you omit or sub the potatoes.

One of our favorite things to do in the fire pit is make tin foil dinners and s'mores, but we don't always remember exactly how we do it every time, so I wanted to make some notes here for the perfect foil dinner.

Marsha's Tin Foil Dinner

hamburger
potatoes
carrots
cream of chicken soup
salt
pepper
garlic salt
BBQ sauce
heavy duty tin foil

Put a serving of hamburger on a large piece of tin foil sprayed with non-stick spray. Depending on that flavor you are going for, season with salt, pepper, and garlic salt and top with BBQ sauce. Pile your diced carrots and potatoes over the top of your meat. Season and top with several spoonfuls of cream of chicken soup. Wrap the entire thing up in the foil, then foil again with two more pieces. Place over hot coals and cook for about 45 minutes, depending on the size of the dinners.

We have also added cheese, corn, onions to ours. But you can add anything you like. I love to add sour cream and more cheese to the top after it is done. The cooking time can vary depending on the size of the dinner, the thickness of the foil packet, and how small you diced the veggies.

Things to try: I want to remember to try this with chicken some time.

Notes: Krystal has also made this recipe in a Crock Pot by putting in the raw beef, veggies, soup, etc. and letting it cook for 4 hours on High (approximate) or 6 hours on low. She used about a pound of beef (raw but broken up in the pots) and two cans of soup and her desired amount of everything else.
