Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1

Try an all in one meal, also called a dutch oven. Place about a 12-inch piece of tinfoil down and fill with whatever meat and vegetables you like along with some butter, onion, garlic or onion soup mix for good flavor.

Step2

Cover with more foil and wrap into a package. Place directly on the fire. Flip every 10 minutes and continue to check every 20 minutes to see if it's done.

Step3

Mix a pizza crust according to the store bought package. Use ½ cup of spaghetti sauce and any other toppings you want. Place on grill and cover with a large piece of tinfoil. Cook longer for a thick crust.

Step4

Make dessert by forming foil thickly over a stick. Form tube, crescent roll dough on top of the foil and rotate over hot coals. When brown, fill with snack size vanilla pudding and spread with chocolate frosting.

Tips & Warnings

To cook something slowly just place on hot coals instead of directly over a flame.
Make sure to use tongs or heavy duty mitts when turning the foil to avoid burns.
