This is great cooked over the camp fire you can use any vegetable you like.
Recipe #1
16 Brussels sprouts
2 potatoes cut in 8 pieces each.
2 onions cut in 8 pieces each.
Several small cloves of garlic.
16 small baby carrots.
Coat the vegetables in olive oil then wrap in aluminum foil with a few pieces of butter. Cook over the camp fire about 1 hour.
You can make this any way you like. Cabbage or broccoli instead of Brussels sprouts. Tomato wedges, squash, etc. if you like. The onions, Brussels sprouts, carrots caramelize, and are sweet as sugar.
Recipe#2
Meat Loaf balls.
Potato sliced in half.
1 thick slice of onion.
5 small carrots.
Place 1 meat loaf ball on each aluminum foil, put catsup on the meat loaf, about 2 table spoons of cream of mushroom soup, potato, onion, carrots, salt and pepper all wrapped in aluminum foil. Cook several of these 1 for each person over the camp fire about 1 hour. Each aluminum foil pack is a whole meal with meat and vegetables.
Recipe#3
Place a slice of fish on aluminum foil with 2 pieces of butter. Cover fish with 1/4" thick lemon slices. Cover the fish with onion slices. Wrap each piece of fish, lemon, onion in aluminum foil. Make 1 for each person cook over the camp fire 45 minutes.
But I love campfire cooking. One of the foods in my son's limited palatable food diet is sweet potatoes. I wrap one up and toss it in the coals and remove it with tongs and he is one happy camper. It's a little tricky guessing the correct cooking time, but it seems to always work out fine. Last camping trip, we cooked hotdogs in tinfoil and then had the bright idea to cook some bacon in tin foil, too. It was the precooked kind. It actually worked out well, too. We sat around the campfire, singing songs and eating bacon.
