Food Friday: Camping Cookout - Hobo Dinner!

Today would be a beautiful day to go camping. My family often did this during the summer weekends when I was growing up. My mom would lug us kids down to the popular camp ground to get a site and my dad would come after work in time to help set up the tent and start supper.

Camping is such an inexpensive way to do family vacation. Enjoying the outdoors at its best can also be a valuable family outing as well.

All that fresh summer air too makes one hungry for some home cooking. Perhaps my favorite recipe when my family went camping together was when mom rustled up some hobo dinners. This simple dinner satisfied the hunger the outdoors created for my family.

Hobo Ingredients and Supplies

Ground beef
Potatoes
Carrots
Onions
Salt
Pepper
Seasoning
Cooking Spray
Heavy duty tin foil


Hobo Cooking Directions

Remove your thawing ground beef from the cooler of ice. Dice up potatoes and onion. Carrots can already be prepared sliced ahead of time. Take heavy duty tin foil rectangles and spray inside with cooking oil. Divide chunks of beef, diced potato wedges, onion, and pre-cut carrots to the tin foil rectangles. Season with salt and pepper and any other meat seasoning. Wrap up tin foil packs for each family member and put among gray fire coals and ashes to cook. Cook until vegetables are soft and meat is brown. To make extra juicy, add a sliver of butter or olive oil. Each individual wrap is one serving.
