Notes
- These are easy and quick to make and can be changed up. If you prefer beef, you can use a homemade hamburger patty or substitute meatballs.
- You can add any vegetables that you like - cabbage, corn on the cob pieces, cauliflower, broccoli, etc.
- This can also be frozen. Cool completely and remove from the foil packet. Place in a ziplock bag or air-tight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw and heat before serving.
- These are a great option when you are camping. The packets can be made a day or two before cooking and stored in the refrigerator till ready to grill.
