Tin Foil Dinners in the Oven

Now you don't have to go camping to enjoy awesome tin foil dinners! These are really versatile. You can add whatever veggies and meat you have on hand. It's a great way to use up left over produce. During the winter when we don't have a robust garden overflowing with veggies, we do this...

Depending on how many foil packets you are making just estimate the quantity of what each person will eat.

- Potatoes (cubed)
- Carrots (I use baby carrots)
- Kielbasa sausage (cut into 2 inch pieces)
- onion powder
- garlic powder
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 T. butter per packet

Measure out tin foil about 18 inches long. Double layer the foil. Add veggies and sausage. Sprinkle with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper. (I just eye ball the seasonings. Pretend you are shaking salt on your food at the table and that's about how much of each.) Cut the butter into small chunks and evenly distribute on top of veggies. Fold up packets. Meet long sides of foil together over veggies and roll shut. Then roll in the sides to seal everything in. Put in a 350 degree oven for an hour or until veggies are tender. Serve in the foil. Careful the steam is hot. Sprinkle cheese over the top if desired.
