Foil-Pack Dinners: One-Bag Meals for Easy Cleanup

Some nights call for the simplest possible dinner: everything in one foil parcel, buried in coals, no dishes beyond a single spoon.

Build the packet right

Double up heavy-duty foil, seal it in a loose tent shape so steam can circulate, and crimp the seams tightly to keep the juices in.

Fifteen minutes, flipped once

Nestle the packet into the coals, not the open flame, and give it about fifteen minutes a side depending on how large you have cut everything.
