Old Fashioned Hobo Dinner Recipes

HOBO DINNERS

Steps:

• Spray for sheets of heavy duty foil with nonstick spray.
• Spread a small amount of cream soup on the bottom of each piece of foil.
• Divide the potatoes evenly between the foil pieces.
• Create four patties (approx. 1/4 pound each) with the ground beef. Place on top of the potatoes.
• Top with remaining veggies, divided evenly.
• Sprinkle each with salt and pepper.
• Spoon remaining soup evenly over the entire dish.
• Foil foil over the food and seal edges well.
• Place the packets on warmed coals. Cook for 45- 60 minutes, turning every 10 minutes or so, or until the meat is cooked through and veggies are cooked to desired doneness.**

OLD FASHIONED HOBO DINNER

Steps:

• 1. Pre heat oven to 400 degree. First I get a heavy duty aluminum foil and make 2 sheets where they cross each other in the middle. (to make it larger than a regular sheet). Place a good portion of hamburger, in a patty, approx. 7 to 9 inches in diameter and about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick, on the foil. Salt & pepper to taste.
• 2. Place sliced onions and potatoes next on top of the hamburger. Salt & pepper again. (some will slide off to the side) That is ok. Then place the squash and broccoli (or what ever veggies you have) on top of that. Pyramid style. Again, it's ok if they slide to the side a bit.
• 3. Salt & pepper to taste again. (we like salt & pepper) Add the butter or margarine on top of all of the veggies. I use about 2 - 3 Tbsp. on each serving depending on the amount of veggies added.
• 4. I then fold it up around the whole thing. Try to keep it as triangular as possible. Add another piece of foil underneath of this and fold it up around the whole thing. This is to catch any liquid that might seep out. Seal it up on top.
• 5. Bake at 400 degrees for approx. an hour. Check it at 45 minutes and see it the potatoes are soft. The meat should be done if it is not too thick of a patty. The juice is what is great with this meal it is the best tasting veggies ever. And you just dump it onto a plate and enjoy it. Throw the aluminum foil away. And not much left to clean up too.
