Answer 1

First, I have to throw this in...I am in no way affiliated with this product but if you are a camper you'll appreciate the link below, I saw this on Ad Age, oddly enough, as it's commercial has received kudos. This "two second tent" is so ingenious it make me want to go camping too, and I live in Manhattan. I'm sure they'd toss me right out of Central Park - tent and all!

Good luck with your meal. When I was younger I was in the scouts. We used to make and cook foil packs directly in the coals of the campfire. It was always fun and tastey. You can do a search on it for ideas/variations. I put one link below that is similar to what I used to do.

If you are bringing a cooler, and driving to the campsite, almost anything goes. If you need to carry it or backpack any distance, go for lightweight foods that are easy to reconstitute like mac and cheese etc.

PS don't eat in your tent and keep your food in a bear bag if you are really getting off the beaten track.

good luck

Answer 2

My husband makes a great dish--hobo potatoes. Take along some aluminum foil. Dice up some potatoes, skin and all, and place them on two sheets of the aluminum foil. Top it off with 1-2 Tablespoons of butter. Then wrap the foil around it--he folds each ends twice, then does the same thing with the wrap at the top. Put them in the coals at the edge of the fire, flipping them occasionally to make sure they cook evenly. You can squeeze the packet occasionally (hopefully with an oven mitt), to see if they're soft yet. Once they are, they're ready! Add salt or other spices if you like, but they're also good as is.

Answer 3

If you have a fire, the best thing to do is meal in a foil.

Buy:
Tin foil
Meat
potatoes
mushrooms
onions
and garlic


Take the all the ingredients and season to taste. Wrap them in a layer of foil, then a layer of wet news paper, then another couple layers of foil. (The wet NP keeps the ingredients moist)

Then when you get to the camp site, start a fire. Once you have some good, hot coals going, put the meal in a foil, next to the hot coals. Keep turning and in about 25 minutes you have a tasty, hot meal. Much better than Ramen.

Also, if you buy corn on the cob in the husks, you can wrap those in foil and cook them in the fire the same way.

Finish with Somores, not original, but always necessary!

You won't regret it. :D

Answer 4

Hobo packets...
Put a hamburger patty on a square of foil. top with sliced onions, slice potatoes and a strip of bacon. Wrap well and put on the edge of the campfire. Let cook unitl potatoes feel tender.

You can also make shish kabobs over the hot coals, with cubes of meat and veggies.

Also, in girl scouts, many moons ago, we made these banana smores things...take a whole banana, with the peel still on, and make a slit in it. Stuff it with mimi-marshmallows and pieces of hershey bar. Wrap in foil and put on hot coals for 10 minutes. Open and scoop out with graham crackers.

I once saw a recipe using the little brown paper lunch bags where you covered the botttom of the bag with a slice of bread, then put in a few strips of bacon, and then broke an egg over it. Then you rolled the bag closed, pushed a stick through the fold, and cooked it over the coals...I never tried that. It seemed a little far-fetched, but if you do it and it works, let me know.

Answer 5

We take foil packs to cook on the grill.

In a foil pocket add cut up smoked sausage, sliced potatoes and sweet onions. Poke small holes in the top before you put them on the grill. Add a liitle butter.

Homemade cony sauce to heat up is always good for the hotdogs on the grill.

Easy snack mix to make and take.....
Mix 1/2 cup oil, 1 pkg dry hidden valley ranch,and 1 tablespoon dillweed in a bowl. Add a package of oyster crackers and mix well. Throw in the microwave for 2 minuites and take out and stir well. Place back in the microwave for 2 more minutes. Stir well....soooo addictive!

HOBO MEATLOAF

Hamburger patties, or cubed steaks
sliced potatoes and carrots
big slices of onion

On a large square of foil, put 1 or 2 onion slices. Put meat on top of that, then potatoes and carrots. Season with season salt, or your favorite seasoning. Wrap up tightly. Cook on a grill for about 45 minutes.


BAKED BANANAS

Bananas

mini marshmallows

Peel one strip off of banana, but don't remove. Cut a long "v" shaped slice out of the banana. Add chocolate chips and marshmallows. Replace the banana's peel. Wrap tightly in foil. Cook on grill until marshmallows and chocolate chips are melted.

Break up the bacon add it to the eggs mix in some cheese and chilis. through that with some sals on a tortilla and yum. Takes like 15 min. The whold forrest smells like bacon. It's good energy. Ican't say enough good .

Wilderness Potatoes...Slice potatoes in 1/8-1/4 inch chips. Cut up some onions and green peppers. Add some cooking oil to a pan on your stove. Fry up some onion and add the potatoes. Cood until almost done and add green peppers. Salt and pepper to taste. (Learned from my Uncle camping on an Island in Lake George NY)
