Hobo Dinner Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat over to 350 degrees.
• Line a 9x13 baking pan with aluminum foil, if desired (makes for easier cleanup).
• Layer the potatoes and carrots together in the bottom of the pan.
• Layer the sausage slices on top of the vegetables.
• Layer onion slices on top of the meat slices.
• Mix cream of mushroom soup and cream of celery soup together, or pour together over casserole.
• Add water or milk to the soup for thinner gravy, if desired.
• Pour over other ingredients.
• Cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake at 350 degrees until vegetables are tender, about 1 hour 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Spray 18-inch square of aluminum foil with cooking spray.
• Place 1/4 of the meat in center of foil.
• Place 1/4 of the vegetables on top of meat.
• Season with butter, salt, garlic powder and pepper to taste.
• Fold top and sides of foil several times to seal food.
• THREE WAYS TO COOK: Always place seam side up when cooking. You may want to double wrap if cooking on a campfire or grill.
• •CAMPFIRE: Place on hot coals near the edge of your campfire and allow to cook 25-30 minutes, or until meat is done.
• •GRILL: Place on medium/hot grill for 40 minutes; rotate 1/2 way through cook time.
• •OVEN: Preheat oven to 350°F Place on cookie sheet or cooking stone; bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until meat is done.
• OPEN CAREFULLY!

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.

Steps:

• Lay FOUR foil pieces along counter or on table top (set other four pieces aside).
• In center of foil, dice one potato and carrot; slice one mushroom.
• Crumble one-fourth of the hamburger over the 'shroom.
• Slice or mince one-quarter of the onion over the burger.
• Press one clove of garlic over the onion.
• Add half a teaspoon of beef base to the mound.
• Snip up one tablespoon of butter over each pile.
• Sprinkle on salt & pepper and any herbs (basil, parsley, thyme, oregano) you like.
• Bring ends of foil to center, then make small folds (twice) to lock in the top. Wrap ONE end up, roll end tightly.
• Lift packet up and gently shake goodies to compress.
• Add 2 tablespoons of water to the open end, then carefully fold and roll up the open end.
• Set rolled packet into center of SECOND sheet of foil and wrap again. This prevents any gravy-juice from sneaking out.
• Over indirect campfire/grill or rake campfire coals over -- cook 30 minutes (check to be sure spuds are soft).
• OPEN CAREFULLY as the inside will be steamy and HOT!
• Serve from inner foil or transfer to a plate.
• BRILLIANT IDEA: Freeze the packets after wrapping -- then they'll stay nice and cold longer when you get to your campsite, and can be served the second night out.
• OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS: frozen broccoli or mixed veggies; fresh corn, beans, or peas.
• SAUCE IT UP: Add about 1/8 to 1/4 cup of cream of 'shroom/celery soup for a nice gravy/sauce.
