Here’s a fun and hearty way to make a Hobo Dinner Hamburger—basically a complete meal wrapped in foil and cooked together, perfect for the oven, grill, or campfire.
🥩 Ingredients (Serves 2–4)
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 cup frozen corn (or green beans)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1–2 tbsp ketchup or BBQ sauce (optional)
- 2–4 tbsp butter (optional, for richness)
- Aluminum foil
Optional: shredded cheese, herbs like thyme or parsley
🥄 Instructions
- Preheat Oven or Grill:
Oven: 400°F (200°C)
Grill: Medium heat - Prep the Foil Packets:
Tear 4 large sheets of foil (enough to fold into packets). - Assemble Ingredients:
- Place a portion of diced potatoes, carrots, onion, and corn in the center of each foil sheet.
- Top with a portion of ground beef. Season with salt and pepper, and add a small pat of butter if desired.
- Spoon a little ketchup or BBQ sauce over the beef if you like.
- Seal the Packets:
Fold the foil over the ingredients and crimp the edges to seal tightly. - Cook:
- Oven: Bake 25–30 minutes until beef is cooked and vegetables are tender.
- Grill: Cook 20–25 minutes over medium heat, turning once halfway through.
- Serve:
Carefully open the packets (watch out for steam!). Optional: sprinkle with shredded cheese or fresh herbs.
💡 Tips:
- You can swap ground beef for ground turkey, chicken, or sausage.
- Add different vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms for variety.
- For a cheesy version, add cheese on top in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
