Foil Packet Hobo Dinner Recipe

Foil packet cooking is about as easy as it gets when it comes to campfire cooking. Ingredients get sealed in a piece of foil and cooked over the fire or even in the fire, the foil is cut open, the meal is eaten, and cleanup is as easy as tossing the foil into a garbage bag.

Hobo Dinner Foil Packets are probably the classic foil packet camping meal. Here’s how we make ours:

HOBO DINNER FOIL PACKET (FEEDS 3-4 PEOPLE)
Ingredients needed:
1 pound lean ground beef
1 large onion, sliced
6 carrots, sliced
4 potatoes, sliced
McCormick Grill Mates Hamburger Seasoning
1 tablespoon Canola oil
Heavy duty aluminum foil

Spread out a large piece of aluminum foil. Brush with Canola Oil. Layer on the carrot slices and potato slices; sprinkle with seasoning; then layer the onion slices and ground beef (uncooked). Sprinkle with seasoning again (generously). Wrap tightly. Then wrap with a second piece of aluminum foil. Place over fire or on grill, cook on first side 15 minutes; flip over and cook on second side for another 10-15 minutes or until potatoes and carrots are tender.

To check if done, pierce the foil with a fork. If vegetables are fork tender, the packet is done.

Slice open foil and enjoy.

We’ve had good success cooking these foil packets on our cooking grate over the campfire, on our portable gas grill, and we’ve even tossed the packets right into a campfire that had burned down to glowing embers and had it turn out great.
