Grocery List for Meatball Foil Packet Meals
- Frozen homestyle meatballs
- Frozen mixed vegetables
- Tater Tots
- Seasoned salt
- Sharp cheddar cheese
- Tinfoil
How long do you cook foil packets on the grill?
The packets will be placed directly on the grill and cooked for 30 minutes until the meatballs are hot and steaming and tater tots are golden crispy brown!
Can you freeze foil packet meals?
Actually you can, portion the meatballs, tater tots and veggies between the different sheets of foil. Add the seasoning salt. Seal well and tuck them into the freezer. Open and sprinkle on the cheese before tucking them on the grill.
Steps to make Meatball Foil Packet Meals
