Do you have fond memories of camping? Perhaps you even tried making your own hobo foil packets when you camped with the family or went on an expedition with the Scouts or Girl Scouts. Either way, it’s really easy to make foil packets and you don’t even have to make and light a campfire!
Not if you’re making them at home and have access to an oven, which is a simpler method of course.
Not only does the foil lock in all the flavors but it also makes the cleanup super-easy, since tossing out used foil is easier than scrubbing out baking dishes. You will need some good quality foil to make these. After all, there is nothing more annoying than having your foil packets tear when you’re making hobo foil packets or wrapping up racks of ribs.
The whole point is locking all those juices in and not having them dripping out. You can vary the following recipe as much as you wish, taking your pick from different proteins, veggies and seasonings.
Why do I love Garlic Steak Foil Packets?
These hobo foil packets are really good. They’re simple to make and all the flavors meld wonderfully in the foil packets. Cleanup is a breeze too.
How to Serve It:
This is a meal in one if you want it to be, but you could also serve something on the side like a salad or some bread.
Can You Make It Ahead?
Yes, you can make the foil packets in advance and then just cook them later, when you’re ready.
