Hobo Smores Recipes

HOBO FOIL PACKETS

Steps:

• PREP: If you are using the oven, preheat it to 400 degrees F. If grilling, prepare the grill by heating to medium-high heat (425-450 degrees F.) Tear off four sheets of heavy-duty foil and lightly spritz with cooking spray. If you aren't going to be cooking this meal in foil packs (See Note 1), line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
• PREP VEGGIES: Cut the sausage into coins. Thinly slice the potatoes (about 1/8th inch thick). Thinly slice the carrots and cut large carrot slices in half. Thinly slice the yellow onion. Add the sausage, potatoes, carrots, and onion to a large bowl.
• SEASON: Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of oil and all of the seasonings (Italian seasoning, dried basil, dried parsley, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, and salt and pepper). Add salt and pepper to personal preference (I add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper). Toss everything together until well combined.
• DIVIDE: Divide the mixture evenly among the four prepared sheets of foil. Cut the butter into 1 tablespoon pieces and cut each tablespoon piece into 4 smaller pieces. Add four pieces of butter to the foil packs (1 tablespoon per foil pack). Seal the foil packs tightly so no air escapes, but do not double wrap the foil (use only one sheet of foil per pack, or the cooking time will be off). To seal the foil packet, bring the short sides together in the middle and gently fold down to completely seal. Then, roll up the ends.
• COOK: Grill for 20-30 minutes or until veggies are fork tender (flip the foil packs at the halfway point). To bake foil packs, place foil packs on a sheet pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until veggies are fork tender. Campfire cooking: add to hot coals and cook for 20-30 minutes. Be aware they can take up to 40-45 minutes depending on the actual temperature of the coals, actual thickness of cut veggies, outside temperatures, how many foil packs are on the coals, etc. There is great variance in cooking these over coals.
• GARNISH: Carefully open the foil pack, watching for steam to be released. If desired, garnish with fresh herbs (we like fresh thyme) and serve with ketchup drizzled over everything or on the side.

HOBO S'MORES

Steps:

• Line cookie sheet with waxed paper.
• Insert a stick into each marshmallow (into one of the flat ends, so it can sit on the other without falling over).
• Put mini-morsels into a shallow bowl.
• Put graham cracker crumbs into a shallow bowl.
• Microwave frosting for 20 - 30 seconds (don't overdo - else it will be too thin to adhere well to the marshmallows).
• Dip one marshmallow at a time into the frosting, allowing excess to drip off.
• Dip the bottom and one side of the chocolate coated marshmallow into graham cracker crumbs. Dip the opposite side into the mini-morsels.
• Stand the flat ends down on the cookie sheet.
• Refrigerate for one hour before serving.

TENDER HOBO BURGERS

Steps:

• Make your hamburger into patties, place in the foil, top with your potatoes and other veggies, put a tablespoon of butter on top and just dump as much Worcestershire sauce in them as you desire.
• Fold your foil over so no food is showing and no juice gets out.
• Bake in a 375°F oven for 1 hour or until veggies are tender.
