Ham and Cheese Hash Browns in a Foil Packet
While we love crispy hash browns, these ham and cheese foilpackets are so delicious we find we don’t miss the crunch at all while camping.
Servings: 6 foil packets
Ingredients
- 30 oz frozen hash browns shredded or chunks
- 1 1/2 cup chopped cooked ham
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped chives
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
At Home
- Combine your ham, cheese, olive oil, and hash browns in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cut four large pieces of foil (about 18 inches) and four slightly smaller pieces of parchment paper (about 16 inches). Place one piece of parchment paper on top of each piece of foil.
- Place 1/4 of your mixture in the center of the packet.
- Fold the long sides together and form a seam. Then roll the short sides up to form additional seams.
- Refrigerate up to three days or freeze until time to go camping.
At the Campsite
- Start your campfire or heat up your grill so that your heat source is ready. If using wood or charcoal, let the flames die out prior to cooking your food.
- Place your foil packets over heat for 25 minutes, flipping about half way through, or until the cheese has melted and the hash browns are cooked through.
- Carefully pull the packets off and let them cool for a minute or two.
- Either open up the seams and crush the foil into a bowl shape or empty the food into another bowl or plate for eating.
- If you like it spicy, drizzle some hot sauce or salsa over your cooked packet for added enjoyment.
