I make these all the time! Love them. But I always have to precook them in the microwave first to soften them up. Then they dont take very long in the oven or on the grill.

Would have liked to have them work. I baked them in the oven at 425 for about 40 minutes and still too hard to eat.  15 minutes was not even close. Try 425 for an hour.  Well that was my experience.

I made 2 batches of these tonight as they were such a hit!  After reading the reviews; I was concerned about cooking time and put them on the grill way before our steaks.  As it turns out--there was no need for any concern.  I substituted with red potatoes & cheddar cheese, and eliminated the parmesan. The first batch was grilled 10 minutes each side and was fine, but definitely into the roasted range.  I did the second batch at 8 minutes each side, and it was perfect.  These potatoes are an excellent side dish--FAST & EASY.  They are delicious as is or served with sour cream.  Next time, I think that I'll add some cooked bacon to the packets as well.  Definitely, a keeper recipe!

You're going to want to make these with or without a campfire.

shallot (diced (1/4 cup))

salt

black pepper (to taste)

quick cooking oatmeal*

Kansas City Style BBQ Sauce (divided,

onion

Preheat the grill to high heat, covered. Place 4 large (10 x 18-inch pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil on a flat surface.

Place the vegetables in a medium bowl and mix well with olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper, divide between 4 pieces of foil and place in the center of each.

In a medium bowl combine ground turkey, oatmeal, 3 tablespoons bbq sauce, onion, egg, 3/4 teaspoon salt and marjoram, mix well. Divide mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a 4 x 2½ –inch free-form loaf. Transfer to the foil over the veggies. Brush the remaining 3 tablespoon BBQ sauce over the top of the loaves.

Bring up the long sides of the foil, so the ends meet over the food. Double fold the ends, leaving room for heat to circulate inside. Double fold the two short ends to seal the packet tight, so no steam escapes.

Grill covered on direct heat over the flames for 10 minutes. Move to indirect heat (away from the open flame until the meatloaf is cooked through in the center, about 20 to 25 minutes. Use gloves or tongs to remove and carefully open. Serve with more (optional) bbq sauce on top, if desired.

To bake in the oven, preheat oven to 425F and cook about 25 to 30 minutes.

Oven Directions

Campfire baked apples are the perfect camping dessert for those colder nights around the campfire. The salted caramel really takes this classic camping dessert to a new level!

Caramel Pecan Campfire Baked Apples

baking apples, (Granny Smith, Fuji, Gala)

tbsp salted caramel sauce

tbsp chopped pecans, (for topping)

tbsp salted butter, (softened)

old fashioned rolled oats

pecans

tsp apple pie spice

brown sugar

In a small bowl, mix the oats, pecans, apple pie spice, and brown sugar. Add in the softened butter and mix until a crumble forms.

Core

Core the apples and stuff them with the crumble filling.

Mix the filling:

Wrap

Wrap each apple in parchment paper first, followed by 2 layers of heavy duty aluminum foil. Place the wrapped apple over campfire coals, not flames.

Rotate

Bake for 35-45 minutes, rotating about every 10 minutes, so that the apple cooks evenly. Add in fresh coals from the fire as needed.

For Campfire Coals Cooking:

Line

Line the dutch oven with parchment paper and place your stuffed apples inside with the filling facing up so that it doesn&#39;t fall out. Cover with the dutch oven lid.

Place

Place campfire coals below and on the lid of the dutch oven. Note: You want most of the heat to be on the lid.

Bake

Bake for 35-40 minutes until the apples have softened.

For Dutch Oven Cooking:

Remove

Once the apples are cooked, remove them from the heat. If you cooked the apples in foil, be careful as you open them because they will be hot!

Top with a drizzle of salted caramel sauce and chopped pecans. Serve hot and enjoy!
