Our favorite part about this meal prep idea is that it portions itself! All you have to do is prepare the meal and place it in the separate aluminum foil packets (thus, the recipe name). After baking and cooling, voila! You have four portioned out high-protein meals. Easy, right?

Oven baking doesn’t work - ruins the bacon and you have to cook 3x as long as suggested. The oven suggested directions need to be severely modified.
Hi Emma, We are sorry to hear that the recipe didn't work for you. We have tested this several times and others have made it without a problem. Each oven does cook differently, so we would expect the cooking time to vary slightly, but 3x as long does not seem right.
