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!
