Foil Dinners

Yup.  You can make a delicious, easy meal all wrapped up and cooked in tin foil.  And you know what?  You know how there is a shiny side and a dull side to tin foil?  Well, it really makes no difference at all which side you put the food on.  Who would have thought?  Then why make 2 different sides?  I have no idea, but will be checking into that for all of us so we can sleep better at night.

We are going to talk about the easiest, most popular foil dinner today.  The meat and potatoes one.  All you need are:

• Tin foil
• Cooking spray
• Hamburger meat
• Potatoes
• Vegetable (usually carrots/string beans)
• Tomatoes/Onions

Cut up all your ingredients and prepare them for individual sizes.

You have your ingredients, so are you ready?

1. Roll out the foil flat
2. Spray with some cooking spray
3. Place the meat in the center of the foil (the meat takes the longest to cook)
4. Place sliced potatoes, and vegetables next on top of the meat
5. Add the tomatoes and/or onions (helps to keep the meat from drying out)
6. Wrap it all up in the foil

Your coals have to be perfect, so once they are, place your foil food packet (meat closest to the coals) and let sit there for about 30 to 40 minutes.  The time could vary depending on how hot the coals are.

When your meal is ready, you are all set to eat.  You have just made a great, delicious dinner!  The great thing about tinfoil is that it cools really fast and you can touch it to open it fairly soon once you have it off the coals.  And of course, the real great thing about cooking in tin foil is there no pots or pans to clean!
