Hobo Pie Recipe

Hobo pies are individual servings of hamburger, potatoes, carrots & peas. Other vegetables such as onions, celery, zucchini, green peppers, etc can be added. Each person can assemble their own recipe.

Things you'll need:

• Heavy Duty Foil
• A barbecue or campfire with a grill

Ingredients:

• Potatoes, sliced - one per person, or 1/2 per person if large
• Frozen Peas
• Carrots, sliced - about 1 per person
• Hamburger - uncooked - about 1/4 lb per person
• Salt & Pepper
• Butter - about 2 T per person

To assemble:

• Tear off a fairly large piece of foil ... about 3 times the length of the finished packet.
• Add the following in layers:
  • Crumbled hamburger
  • Sliced potatoes
  • Sliced carrots
  • Frozen peas
  • Other vegetables as desired
• Place slices of butter on top (about 2 T)
• Add sale & pepper, and seasonal salt if desired
• Seal the foil packet by drawing the long ends together and fold excess together down about 1/2" at a time. Seal each end by folding the foil up. Try to seal the packet completely. The ingredients will cook more evenly if the packet is completely sealed.

Cook packets over a BBQ or campfire or medium heat for about 35-40 minutes. Contents are done when potatoes & carrots crush when you pinch the packets. Open them carefully as contents will be hot! Serve with a salad & a glass of wine!
