Utah Tinfoil Dinners
- 8 whole Large Squares Aluminum Foil
- 4 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 2 whole Carrots
- 1 whole Onion
- 2 whole Large Russet Potatoes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
- 8 strips Bacon
- 4 whole Ground Beef Patties (1/4 Pound Size)
- 4 Tablespoons Montreal Steak Seasoning
- 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- Place 4 of the tin foil squares on a flat surface.
- Put 1 tablespoon of oil on each sheet.
- Peel and slice carrots into 1/4 or smaller sections and place 1/8 of the carrots on each square in a single layer, directly on top of the oil.
- Peel the onion and remove the root, thinly slice and add 1/8 of the onion on each square on top of the carrots.
- Peel and thinly slice potatoes, season with the salt and pepper.
- Add 1/8 of the potatoes on each square in a single layer on top of the carrots.
- Dice the bacon and place 1/8 of the pieces on top of each square on the potatoes in a single layer.
- Place 1 beef patty on each square on top of the bacon and season each with 1 tablespoon of the Montreal seasoning.
- Now, reverse layer the remaining ingredients on top of the patty until youve used all of them.
- You final package layering should go: carrots, onions, potatoes, bacon, patty, bacon, potatoes, onions, carrots.
- When all your layers are in place, wrap the foil around the meal, crimping any openings so the oil doesnt drip out.
- Then wrap with a second square of foil to prevent and breaks, rips, drips, or tears.
- Place directly on the campfire, on the coals, or on a grill over medium heat, with the oil side of the packet down.
- Cook for 20 minutes and then turn packets over using long handled tongs and allow to cook another 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and take off the outer layer of foil.
- Carefully open the inner layer of foil, it will be hot and steam will be escaping.
- Place 1/4 cup of cheese on top of each meal and seal the foil back up for a minute or two to allow it to melt.
- Open and serve immediately.
- These can be made ahead of time if you are going to be backpacking or working away from your kitchen.
- For backpacking place all the packets in a 1 or 2 gallon Ziploc bag with a cold pack and place on the top of your gear inside your pack and cook as soon as you get your campfire going.
- For anything else I suggest keeping them in a cooler with ice until you are ready to cook.
