Campfire Nachos

Who can resist a plate of cheesy nachos? Simply layer tortilla chips, cooked ground beef (or another pre-cooked meat of your choice), shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, a dash of Real Salt Taco Seasoning, and any other toppings you’d like onto a sheet of foil. Wrap it up and cook it over the campfire until the cheese melts and bubbles. Top with sour cream and guacamole for a fully loaded nacho experience.

Lemon Herb Salmon

For a healthy and flavorful meal, try this lemon herb salmon foil pack. Place a fresh salmon fillet on a sheet of foil, and add sliced lemons, fresh herbs like dill and parsley, a bit of Real Salt Organic Lemon Pepper Seasoning, and a drizzle of olive oil. Seal the foil tightly and cook it over the campfire until the fish is flaky and tender. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

BBQ Chicken and Veggies

This foil pack combines the smoky flavors of barbecue chicken with colorful vegetables. Cut boneless chicken into bite-sized pieces and toss them with your favorite barbecue sauce. Cut up a variety of veggies such as bell peppers, onions, and zucchini. Lightly season them with Real Salt Red Rock BBQ Seasoning and add them to your packet. Seal the foil pack and cook it over the fire until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender-crisp.

Sausage and Potato Hash

Start your day with a hearty foil-pack breakfast. Dice potatoes and sausage into bite-sized pieces and add them to the foil along with onions, bell peppers, and seasonings (we recommend Real Salt Organic Garlic Salt). Seal it up and cook it over the fire until the potatoes are golden brown and the sausage is cooked through. Top with a fried egg for an extra touch of deliciousness.
