Also known as Hobo Dinners, foil packet recipes are a favorite cheap and easy summer campfire or grill meal. But you can cook one in the oven any time of year!
Tips For Prepping Keto Foil Pack Meals
Go For Heavy Duty Foil or Double Up On Regular – Especially if you’re working with steak & chicken – the last thing you want is a food leak on the fire situation – Thanks to faulty foil:)
Protein Goes In First—Steak, chicken, salmon, or pork will take longer to cook. Start with protein, then add veggies.
Cook Time On The Grill – This will vary depending on how hot your grill is – but the general rule of thumb is 15-20 minutes – use a metal rack or directly on the coals on the edge of the fire.
*Don’t forget to flip a few times & don’t be afraid to peek in & check on how the food is cooking!
**Raw Veggies will take longer to tenderize – if you’re in a rush, you can use canned
Convert Grill To Oven – Heat to 400 – You’re looking at up to an hour for chicken or pork – Salmon – 20 minutes – Veggies – 15 minutes.
Steam Warning – Be careful when you open the foil – The steam is real!
