Wordful Notes: This dish inspired by
Campfire Potato & Cheese Bake and
Reynold's Foil Packet Recipes. This was an exploration of food for me, too.
What I would do differently:
- slice carrots or leave them out - they didn't get tender enough
- MORE veggies! definitely more peppers. and potatoes. and... yeah, more.
- bake at correct temp
- add extra marinade to packets
- I think the dish would have been improved by being served over rice. I believe there is a way to do rice in the packets... I will be looking into it.
