One of the best things about skillet tin foil dinners is that you can make them ahead of time, perfect for busy weeknights or camping trips. Skillet tin foil dinners are a delicious and convenient way to enjoy a home-cooked meal without a lot of fuss or mess.

Recipe Ingredients

  • Ground beef — we recommend using lean ground beef for less of renderings.
  • Seasonings — We used seasoning salt and pepper but use your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Potato — one large potato will work but two medium ones will do.
  • Carrots — we used whole carrots cut into sticks, but sliced or baby carrots are great too.
  • Cream celery soup — use your favorite cream of soup.
