HAMBURGER FOIL PACKET HOBO DINNERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350
• Divide ground beef into 4 even hamburger patties about 1 inch thick. If you are feeding children you may want to make their portions smaller.
• Wash your veggies. Cut carrots into 1 inch pieces and potatoes into 1-2 inch pieces.
• Place hamburger patties in the center of each piece of aluminum foil. Surround each patty with pieces of carrots, potatoes, and onions if you choose.
• Place 1/2-1 tbsp butter on the center of each patty. Sprinkles approx 1-2 tbsp of onion soup mix over the ingredients.
• Gather the corners of the foil up and scrunch together to seal each pocket. Place sealed pockets onto a baking sheet in case any sauce leaks out during baking.
• Bake at 350 for 40-60 minutes. Carefully unwrap one pocket keeping face away as steam escaping will be hot. Poke carrots and potatoes with a fork to check for doneness. Once vegetables are done the meat should be cooked through as well. You can check with a meat thermometer. Meat should read 140 degrees or more.

VEGETABLE HOBO DINNERS

Steps:

• TIP: Chop the vegetables in sizes that relate to how quickly they cook. For example, chop the carrots smaller than the mushrooms.
• Poke holes in the potatoes with a fork. Wrap each potates individually in a paper towel and microwave them together for 4-5 minutes before peeling and chopping.
• Make 4 large aluminum foil pouches by folding the foil in half and then rolling the sides over at least 3 times. Add one fourth of each ingredient per pouch. Roll the top over to seal tightly.
• Place the pouches on a hot grill and carefully turn and rotate every 5-10 minutes until all of the vegetables are soft or about 25-30 minutes. Leave the pouches closed until you are ready to serve.
