Campfire Trout

Seasoned trout is stuffed with green peppers, then rolled up in foil and cooked in the hot coals of a camp fire. My dad taught me how to prepare the trout we caught fresh on camping trips when I was a kid. I always loved the buttery flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture!

Ingredients

• salt and pepper to taste
• 4 tablespoons butter, divided
• 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 clove garlic, minced (Optional)
• 4 trout, cleaned and head removed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place each trout on a piece of aluminum foil. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then stuff the cavity with 1 tablespoon of butter, green pepper and garlic if using.

Step 2

Roll the trout tightly in the foil, forming packets. Use some additional foil to secure each packet of fish to a metal toasting rod for use as a handle when removing fish from the coals.

Step 3

Cover the fish packets in the red hot, smoldering coals of your campfire and cook until the fish is done, 7 to 10 minutes, depending on the heat of the fire.
