Hobo Packets

single serving

Ingredients:

  • ground beef
  • baby carrots
  • cubed potatoes
  • onions
  • canned green beans
  • salt
  • pepper
      
    **aluminum foil 

Directions:

  • Pull off enough aluminum foil to make a single serving packet.  I usually use a double layer of foil because we always eat right out of the packets.
      
  • Crumble raw ground beef onto foil.
      
  • Add baby carrots, onions, potatoes, green beans and season to taste.  Each person can add ingredients to their liking since these are individual packets.
      
  • Roll the foil up into a packet and place on the grill or over the open fire for about 30 minutes or until the beef has had time to cook completely.  
      
  • We use this for our Cub scouts on outdoor cooking adventures. They "build" their own packets and clean up is a breeze.
      

  

place food in the center of the tinfoil
fold edges together
roll the edges together two or three times so steam won't escape
roll the ends two or three times so steam won't escape
  
Cook for 20 to 30 minutes and then remove from fire
  
Fold triangles into the four corners
Unroll the center folds and open up so you have a bowl
Eat with a spoon (so you don't puncture holes in the foil).  
Clean up is a snap -- you only have a spoon to wash!!
