My
very picky child raved about how good these were, so I thought it
worth posting. You can find the original recipe here.
Hobo
Dinners
I
will add a picture the next time I make it again.
You
will need a square casserole dish to cook this in.
Ingredients
Ground
Beef (amount depends on how big you want the patties to be and how
many people you are cooking for)
Potatoes
– one per person if small, ½ per person if big
Onion
Slices – 1-2 slices per person/packet
Any
other veggies you want (we used diced green peppers)
Seasoning
– whatever you think would be good (most of us used Worcestershire
sauce, but for the kids, just salt & pepper)
Pat
of Butter
Heavy
Foil
*
We let each person pick what they want in their packet.
Directions
Preheat
oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Make hamburger patties in
whatever size you choose. Season the patty generously.
Place
each patty in the center of it's own piece of foil (approx. 16in or
so). Add veggies to the packet. Feel free to add a bit more
seasoning if you want. Place the pat of butter on top of the final
concoction. Finally, bring the foil together over the top of it all
and seal tight. The final result should look like a hobo bag. Place
the foil packets directly on the wire racks in your oven and cook for
1 hour.
Important:
The
foil packets need to be sealed tight. This will help everything cook
properly. Otherwise, you will have dry meat and raw potatoes.
Some
people like to add a bit of soup to the packet to make a gravy and
add a bit of flavor. Play around with it until you find what you
like.
