Normally I use the Reynolds large oven bags since they are very sturdy and already sealed except for one end. you add the goodies and then seal it up. But I haven't been able to find them in the stores lately, so I have been using heavy duty aluminum foil. I use 2 sheets on the bottom and 2 sheets on the top for strength, so they won't break open when you turn them. If you use the aluminum foil just be sure you seal them tight on all four sides.
hope this helps...

Do you lay the oven bags right on the grill? Or do you wrap the oven bags in foil also? If you lay them on the grill they don't melt?
Thanks.....

We make this with a few leafs of cabbage on the bottom. Keeps it from burning if you make it in the coals + some of us like the cooked cabbage. We add a hamb. pattie, slice of onion,sliced potatoes, then our veggies and top with about 1/2 can of tomato soup. We always have to have these when we camp and once or twice in the oven through the winter. Sharon

My wife taught me to wrap the food in one layer of foil, a double layer of newspaper, and another layer of foil. It takes a bit longer to cook and the newspaper burns but we have never burned the food, unlike my earlier days with only aluminum foil.

Fulltime - - I think she's refering to the foil oven bags. You might be thinking of the plastic (turkey/chicken roasting) oven bags? Don't use those - - that would be bad!! Is that what you were refering to, fantasticfauna?

sorry about the confusion, folks....you are right...don't use the plastic oven bags...that would be really bad...LOL if you use the oven bags (made of foil) they are heavy enough that you don't need to wrap them in more foil. If you use sheets of aluminum foil, use 2 sheets on top and 2 sheets on bottom for strength. yes, you put them directly on you gas grill on medium heat. If you put them over the campfire, put a grate over your fire ring and lay them on that. if you do this on a campfire make sure you have hot coals only, no flames. If this is cooked over campfire, the foil will blacken---this is normal for campfire cooking...that's also the reason why I add a little liquid.. so food doesn't dry out.....yes you can make individual pouches or 1 or 2 larger pouches..i try to make sure that they are all about the same size, so they all get done about the same time....
hope this helps with some of the confusion...
Happy Fourth!!!!!!!!

Reynolds stopped making the foil oven bags a couple of years ago. Apparently they my werent selling well. I loved those bags as they made all the foil bag meals easy. I even used them to cover my beer can chickens while cooking on the campfire

Thanks for the tip. That occasional "crust" that gets burned and stuck to the foil is my only problem with foil cooking.
