  • Total Time: 30-40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) of your choice of protein (chicken, beef, sausage, or shrimp)
  • Assorted vegetables (bell peppers, onions, zucchini, corn, baby potatoes)
  • Olive oil or butter
  • Seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, herbs)
  • Optional extras: cheese, bacon bits, hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Start by chopping vegetables and proteins into bite-sized pieces, ensuring even sizes for consistent cooking. Drizzle with olive oil or melt butter over the ingredients.
  2. Lay out large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place the prepared ingredients in the center of each sheet. Season generously with salt, pepper, and herbs. Add cheese or extras if desired.
  3. Fold the foil over the ingredients to create a sealed packet. Ensure edges are tightly sealed to trap steam and flavors.
  4. Place the foil packets directly onto a preheated grill or over a campfire. Cook for 20-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until ingredients are tender and cooked through. Use a food thermometer to check internal temperatures if needed.

Notes

  • Customize the filling with your favorite ingredients or dietary preferences.
  • For best results, use heavy-duty foil for durability and easy handling.
  • You can assemble the packets ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to cook.
  • Ensure proper sealing to avoid leaking during cooking.
