Make foil pack meals on the grill: Step-by-step formula

All you do is place your ingredients onto a piece of foil, fold it up and cook it on the grill. As the food heats up, it creates steam, which gently cooks your food, making it juicy and tender. Follow our foolproof steps to get started.

1Spray your foil first to avoid any sticky situations. Then load it up with your favorite filling!

2Now fold the top before sealing each end. Pro tip: Put the folded packs on a baking sheet to keep the kitchen-to-grill journey drip-free.

3Place your foil pack over medium heat and cover. Grill (or bake in your oven, if that’s your preference) according to recipe instructions. The cook time will vary depending on the fillings and temp of your grill.

4Use tongs to pull the packs off the grill and later to (gingerly) peel back the foil. Serve on a plate with sides and fixings, or just eat your meal straight off the foil. So simple, yet so delicious.

5Make Camping fun with these foil pack recipes. Serve right away and use caution when opening. Very hot steam will escape each packet when torn apart.
