Reynolds Wrap Meal
A hearty foil-wrapped meal featuring savory ground beef, tender potatoes, and sweet carrots, perfect for outdoor grilling and easy to customize for family dinners.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut 8 pieces of heavy-duty Reynolds Wrap, each 12 inches long.
- Divide the ground round, potatoes, carrots, onion soup mix, margarine, water, and pepper into 4 equal parts.
- Place potatoes, carrots, and one portion of meat on each piece of Reynolds Wrap.
- Wrap the sides and bottom tightly to prevent leakage.
- Add an equal part of soup mix, margarine, water, and pepper to each wrap.
- Seal each foil packet tightly.
- Place the wrapped meals on a barbecue pit close to hot coals.
- Turn the packets every few minutes and cook for about 25 to 30 minutes until done.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use fresh ingredients and ensure the ground round is evenly distributed among the wraps. If you want to add extra flavor, consider using homemade Anice Springer's Barbecue Sauce instead of the onion soup mix. You can substitute the potatoes with sweet potatoes for a healthier twist. Ensure your foil packets are sealed tight to prevent moisture loss while cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Reynolds Wrap meals alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal. They pair wonderfully with a refreshing drink like Old Fashioned Southern Lemonade, which can balance the savory flavors. You can also serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a light fruit salad, like Fruit Potpourri, to complement the dish.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover wrapped meals in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, unwrap the foil and place the contents in a microwave-safe dish, covering it loosely with a damp paper towel. Heat on medium power for 2-3 minutes or until heated through, stirring halfway.
