Foil packet recipes are one of the easiest ways to cook dinner in the summer! Perfect for campfires and grilling (or baking in the oven when your plans are rained out), they lock in flavor and keep meat and veggies moist and tender. And cleanup is effortless!
These aren’t the hobo dinner foil packets you made in Girl Scouts! Foil packet recipes can range from classic comfort food dinner recipes like meatloaf and BBQ chicken to more sophisticated flavors like Greek shrimp and spice-rubbed fish with watermelon salsa. There’s truly something for everyone here! Many of these recipes can also be cooked in the oven if grilling isn’t an option, making them perfect all year long. Pair them with a make-ahead side dish like red potato salad and dinner’s done.
- Use heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent tearing.
- Leave some space when wrapping everything up so steam can circulate while cooking.
- Seal the edges tightly to keep the juices from seeping out.
- Be careful when opening the packets. Even if the edges of the foil feel cool enough to touch, the steam that escapes when you open them up is hot!
