Hobo Dinners

I was introduced to Hobo (aka tinfoil) Dinners this weekend. We made them with friends last night and liked them so much that we made our own for dinner tonight. What I think I love most is that there is no wrong way to make these, and you can totally make them unique based on what you prefer.

Ingredients:

-heavy duty tinfoil

-cream of mushroom soup (2-3 cans for 6 hobo dinners)

- hamburger

-veggies that you love (we used potatoes, carrots, and onions for Saturday and then added broccoli and cauliflower to the mix tonight)

-season salt or any other seasoning that you like

Step One: Roll out a large piece of tin foil and spread a thin layer of soup on the foil. This prevents your meat from sticking.

Step Two: Put your hamburger patty on the soup and then sprinkle seasoning on it. (Your patty can be as big/small as you want it to be)

Step Three: Top your hamburger with a glob of soup and then whatever veggies you choose to use.

Step Four: Sprinkle your veggies with seasoning and more soup.

Step Five: Wrap up your meal. I fold the top down in inch sections until you reach the food, then do the same thing with each sides. You want to keep a little air in there for the steam to circulate.

These are the six we made tonight, ready to be taken out to the grill. We carry them out on a baking sheet for convenience.

Step Six: Cook in your BBQ grill on low/medium heat for a good 30 minutes. Rumor has it that you can also cook in a dutch oven or in a campfire. (I'd never had these before last night and so the grill is all I know... :o) We turn them over every 10 minutes or so.

Step Seven: Unfold carefully- be careful you don't get a steam burn- and enjoy! We eat them right out of the foil. YUM!
