Best Old Fashioned Hobo Dinner Recipes

HOBO PACKETS

Steps:

• Make patties out of the ground beef. Peel and slice onion. Slice potatoes into chunks. Place each patty in the center of a large sheet of foil. Top with onion, potatoes, and carrots. Add 2 T of sauce, if using. Close packet and seal well. Bake in oven at 350 for 45 minutes to an hour, or until done.

HOBO DINNER FOIL PACKETS

Steps:

• Cut four sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil. Combine ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper. Shape into four patties and place in the center of the aluminum foil.
• In a medium sized bowl toss potatoes, carrots, onion olive oil and Italian seasoning. Divide evenly between the four packets. Fold the foil over and seal each packet.
• Place the packets on the grill or over the coals of a fire. Cook for about 45-60 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Carefully open the foil packets and top with cheese.

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.

SHEET PAN GROUND BEEF, POTATO, AND CARROT DINNER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
• Shape the ground beef into patties and place in pan. Layer the vegetables on top of the beef patties, starting with the potatoes, then carrots and finally onions. Season with salt, pepper and garlic salt to taste.
• Cover with aluminum foil and seal edges. Bake in the preheated oven until beef is no longer pink and vegetables are tender, about 1 hour.

CAMPER'S HOBO DINNER

Steps:

• Place veggies and hamburger pattie in middle of large sheet of aluminum foil.
• Sprinkle with seasoned salt.
• Bring up the two long sides of the foil to meet above the food, fold (crimp) the foil several times until it is snug against the food.
• Fold (crimp) the short ends of the foil several times until snug against the food.
• This will seal the food in and prevent leakage.
• Place package directly on hot charcoal and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes each side (or, you can place package in a 350-degree oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour).
• Make as many packages as needed.
