Great Tin Foil Dinner Recipes for Summer Campfires

When you are camping in summer, the last thing you want to do is fire up the stove, right? Well, the good news is that you don’t have to turn on that stove at all, when it comes to dinnertime. Here are some awesome tin foil campfire tin foil recipes.


Salmon with Lemon and Herbs

Ingredients:
2 salmon fillets
Salt & pepper, to taste
2 teaspoons horseradish
4 lemon slices
1 teaspoon ground dill
1 teaspoon ground parsley
2 tablespoons butter
Olive oil

Directions:
Season each salmon filet with salt and pepper. On each filet, place 1 teaspoon horseradish, 2 lemon slices, ½ teaspoon dill, ½ teaspoon parsley and 1 tablespoon butter. Splash some olive oil on top of each filet. Wrap each filet in aluminum foil, place directly on the hot coals and cook 6-8 minutes, or until fish is done.


Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich

Ingredients:
1 loaf French bread
3 tablespoons olive oil
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
4 slices deli-style roast beef, each slice cut into 4 pieces
4 slices deli-style provolone cheese, each slice cut into 4 pieces

Directions:
Make 13 cuts into the loaf of French bread, butting about ½ way down on each slice. In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder and mix together well. Spread a generous amount of the olive oil mixture into each of the 13 slices. Add one piece of roast beef and one piece of cheese into each of the 13 slices. Wrap the entire loaf in aluminum foil, place near hot coals and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until cheese is melted.


Sweet and Sour Meatballs

Ingredients:
Olive oil
14-ounce can pineapple chunks, drained
1 large red bell pepper, cut into ¼-inch strips
1 large red onion, cut into ½-inch chunks
12-ounce jar chili sauce
1 ½ cups grape jelly
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:
In the center of a square piece of aluminum foil, add some olive oil, along with 6-8 meatballs. Repeat until all the meatballs are used. Add in several pineapple chunks, red pepper strips and red onion chunks to each aluminum foil square. In a bowl, combine chili sauce, grape jelly and mix together well. Drizzle each aluminum foil square with the chili sauce/grape jelly mixture and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Seal each of the aluminum foil packets, place them on a bed of hot coals and cook for 25-30 minutes, turning once.

    Where my husband is from they call them foil packs. I had never heard of cooking this way before, even though I went camping many times during my teen years. We did have an rv, so that may have been why cooking like this wasn’t what we did. However, he has fond memories of boy scouts and camping and dining with foil packs.
