Cheesy Asparagus Foil Packet Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 bunches of asparagus trimmed
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chives or green onions
Instructions
- Preheat your campfire or grill to medium heat.
- Lay out four large pieces of aluminum foil, enough to wrap the asparagus and create a sealed packet.
- Divide the asparagus evenly among the foil pieces. Sprinkle each with salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
- Place a tablespoon of butter on top of each asparagus bunch.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the asparagus.
- If desired, add some chives or diced green onion
- Carefully seal the foil packets, ensuring they are well-closed but still have space for steam to circulate.
- Place the foil packets on the grill or over the campfire. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender.
- Carefully open one packet to check doneness – the asparagus should be tender and the cheese melted.
- Once cooked to your liking, remove the packets from the heat and let them sit for a minute before opening.
- Serve the cheesy asparagus directly from the foil packets or transfer to plates, and enjoy your delicious, easy-to-make camping meal!
