The best campfire dinner recipe.
A few years ago I stumbled upon the best tin foil dinner recipe ever, for reals though…..I’ve tried a lot of tin foil dinners! I found it originally on Melyssa Saves Instagram Story Highlights. I’ve since adapted it to our own personal liking, but I still give her credit for introducing me to this amazing campfire dinner recipe.
This recipe has become our favorite camping dinner recipe. It’s easy to cook over the fire, and perfect for customizing to everyone’s preferences. We also use it regularly for backyard fires. When I don’t feel like cooking, or cleaning up a messy kitchen….I whip up these easy tin foil dinners and we eat outside. The kids think it’s a fun family activity, and I think it was the best way to keep my house clean…..
Ingredients
Like I mentioned earlier, this recipe is very easy to customize to your own specific taste preferences. So, don’t be afraid to take my suggestions and add a few of your own!
- Little Smokies
- Shredded Cheese (we like mozzarella, but you can also use cheddar)
- Diced onions
- Green Beans
- Peas
- Corn
- Seasoning Salt
- Shredded hash browns
- Carrots
- Jalapeno peppers
- Butter
- Salt and Pepper
You will also need:
- Cooking spray
- Tin foil
Putting it All Together
Pull out two strips of tin foil and lay them one on top of the other on your counter top. Spray generously with cooking spray.
Layer hash browns on the top tin foil. You can add as much or as little as you want. I always put less on the kids dinners and much more in my husbands (he likes to eat!).
Next add the little smokies. Again, there is no set recipe. Just add as many or as little as you want to eat.
Now it’s time for the vegetables. I try to use whatever veggie is in my garden at the time. We have used carrots, corn, green beans, diced onion, peas, and jalapeno peppers. All were good and delicious!
Sprinkle your veggies with your favorite cheese. We enjoy mozzarella cheese, but cheddar is also delicious!
Next add salt, pepper and seasoning salt to taste.
Add a few pats of butter on top.
And it’s all done! Look how yummy! Can you believe it even tastes better than it looks?!?!
All that’s left to do is roll your tin foil packet up and refrigerate until ready to be cooked.
Cook your tin foil dinner over hot coals until thoroughly heated through and cheese is melted. It usually only takes about 10 minutes, depending on the heat of your fire.
Pull a packet out and peek inside to test for doneness.
I promise you will love this delicious, easy tin foil dinner recipe.
