I love everything about quick, delicious and easy to make when it comes to preparing and eating food. One thing that I may like more than anything else is little to no clean up, and that’s exactly what these Three Easy Foil Packet Meals do.
Everything is baked in aluminum foil so there is no mess afterwards. I’ve been cooking in foil packets for as long as I can remember. We used to do side dishes on the grill, like roasted potatoes or vegetables in a packet and then we would serve it up with whatever we were eating. Cooking in foil packets are literally fool proof and if you’ve never done it before then these 3 recipes should be a great start for you.
If you enjoy casseroles then foil packets are pretty similar, minus the liquid and clean-up of course. I took 3 of my favorite meals and simply cooked them in one of these packets, that’s it. I’m a huge fan of shrimp boils so I put everything I love about it, except for the shrimp, and baked it up to perfection. I even used old bay seasoning to stick with the classic nature of the recipe.
The second dish I made was a simple salmon with spiralized squash. I used a spiralizer to make zucchini and yellow squash noodles and then I tossed in some tomatoes and topped it off with fresh salmon. I drizzled on a bit of olive oil and lemon juice and rolled it up tight in a foil packet.
Last but not least I made steak fajitas. Talk about simple! I seriously just sliced up everything that goes into a fajita, placed it on some foil, seasoned it up and baked it. It could not be any easier than this, seriously. The best part about all of this is that I threw away the foil once we all got finished eating… BEAUTIFUL!!
Foil packets are so great because they are so easy to use, and if you’ve got picky eaters it will allow you to personalize your food without all of the extra dishes!
