The best hobo dinner recipe

I simply just love recipe and it truly the best hobo dinner recipe. It is a classic that I grew up with and am excited to share that with my kids now. The best part is you can cook the on a campfire, cook them on the grill, or even bake them in the oven. No matter where you are you can enjoy a super delicious hobo dinner foil pack meal.

Ingredients you need:

• 4 small potatoes, peeled and sliced
• 4 tablespoons of butter
• salt and pepper
• heavy duty foil

Product you need:

• heavy duty foil
• mandoline slicer for easy slicing of the onions and potatoes

How to make The Best Hobo Dinner Foil Packet Meal:

1. You will want to use heavy duty foil for a foil pack so it won’t break when you are grilling. You can use regular foil but I recommend you double wrap it to avoid it breaking oven.
2. Take a 4 slices of foil. Spray with non stick spray.
3. Place one potato (peeled and sliced) in the middle of each foil. I use a mandoline slicer to quickly slice my potatoes. I love it!
4. Place about 1/4 of the green beans and a 1/4 of the corn on each pile of potatoes.
5. Divide the ground beef into four patties and place the patties on the pile of the veggies.
   
6. Top each foil packet with the sliced onions, a tablespoon of butter, and season liberally with salt and pepper.
7. Fold up the sides of the foil. Then fold up the other sides to make a foil pack.
   
8. Place on the grill (or a campfire) for approximately 30 minutes or until the hamburger patties are cooked through.
9. Open the foil packets carefully and enjoy dinner!

How to make hobo dinners in the oven:

You can easily make this delicious hobo dinner foil packet meal in the oven. I would assemble the hobo dinners like normal but instead of placing them on the grill I would place on a cookie sheet and back at 375 degrees F for around 30-35 minutes.
