tinfoil dinners

Simple and delicious.
Perfect for camping but also for a nice quiet cozy evening in.

Tinfoil Dinners for 2
ingredients:
1 medium size onion
6 small potatoes (or 3 medium/large ones)
2 handfuls of baby carrots
1 full length of farmer sausage

directions:
tear off a 2 large sections of tinfoil (around 1 1/2 feet maybe? better to have extra than too little)
grease the tinfoil (butter or pam)
cut up the onion, potato, baby carrots & sausage into bite sized pieces and split evenly and place on the greased tinfoil.  (at this point, Michael added a splash of bbq sauce to his, I'm not a huge bbq sauce fan, so I didn't)
Add a generous sprinkle of salt & pepper.
Fold the tinfoil both horizontally across and then vertically till it is nicely sealed.
Place directly on the oven racks of a preheated oven (375-400 degrees) and cook for 45 minutes. Take them out and open very carefully (the steam will be very hot!) and check if the potatoes and carrots are cooked all the way through (and the meat too of course! but the potatoes and carrots seem to take much longer) - put them back in the oven in 15 minute intervals until they are done.
Empty contents onto a plate and enjoy!
