STEAK FOIL PACKETS (HOBO DINNER)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. (Or see notes for camp fire or grill instructions.)
• Tear off 4 large sheets of heavy duty foil, about 10-12 inches across. Regular foil will work too, just be careful not to tear it. You can double wrap if you're worried about it.
• Add 1 cup of cooked rice to the center of each sheet of foil.
• Top rice with about 1-2 teaspoons of onion soup mix.
• Use a sharp knife to slice the steak into 12 thin strips, about 1 inch across. See photos.
• Place 3 strips of steak on top of each mound of rice.
• (At this point, you can add chopped vegetables around the edges of the rice. Season with salt and pepper. See notes.)
• Pour 2 tablespoons of evaporated milk over the top of each mound of steak and rice.
• Sprinkle the remaining onion soup mix evenly over the rest of the steak in each packet.
• For each sheet of foil, bring the short ends of the foil together over the rice and steak. Press together and fold down securely over the food. For each end, fold the corners in, and then continue folding until you have a nice secure packet. See photos!
• Place the 4 packets on a large baking sheet.
• Bake at 350 for 1 hour.
• Remove from the oven and carefully open each packet, being very careful not to burn yourself with the steam.
• Serve hot!

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.

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.

MOM'S HOBO DINNERS

Steps:

• 1. Lay out 4 foil squares. Make 4 large hamburger patties, season to taste. Layer sliced potatoes, carrots, cabbage. Top w butter, season to taste. Wrap sides of foil up tightly. Put on cookie sheet, bake for 50 min. Remove from oven, add cheese, let set 5-10 min. Enjoy!
• 2. This was the way my mom always made it, no subs. As a kid I didn't like cabbage, but love it now. I want my kids to enjoy their food and this recipe makes it so easy to sub for individual tastes.
• 3. Other suggerstions: mushrooms, corn, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, onion, etc. limitless...I have also used chicken in place of hamburger! Just add EVOO.
