Hobo Dinner

[sherryinutah]

Sometimes I like to pretend that I'm camping where I can enjoy a tin foil dinner, also known as a Hobo Dinner.

Ingredients

4 medium potatoes, washed
1 lb baby carrots
1 small onion
4 hamburger patties
olive oil
butter or margarine
seasoning salt.
pepper
8 Tbsp. water or beef broth


How to make it

Cut four large pieces of foil, large enough to wrap and seal each individual dinner.
Place hamburger patty in center of foil and sprinkle with seasoning salt and pepper.
Peel potatoes if desired, place one potato, cut into 8 pieces, ¼ of baby carrots, ¼ of onion on top of each patty.
Spritz with olive oil. Dot veggies with margarine or butter as desired.
Sprinkle with seasoning salt and pepper to desired taste.
As each meal is being wrapped, add one Tbsp of water or beef broth. Seal.
Bake on medium-hot grill or in camp fire for up to 1 hour. (Check after 30 minutes for desired tenderness.)
Remove from heat and allow to stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Can be eaten right out of the foil.

NOTE: Can be baked in oven at 375F for 45-60 minutes. (Check for tenderness after 45 minutes.)

I'm not a fan of camping but I like baking these dinners in the oven and then take them to park on a cool evening.  Just an idea.

I think I've seen this done on the grill.  I love smoky so that'd be my choice.

I have made them with beef stew cubes, pork chops, we have made meat loaf patties.....you can do just about anything this way, you can also put in any kind of vegetables you like of have!   YUMMY!

These are just foil packs. We make them all the time at camp. We cook them on the campfire and when done right it's delicious.

This sounds good and it looks like it would be simple to fix.  I might have to try this out one night, but I would have to cut it in half since there is only me in my household.
