CAMPFIRE HOBO DINNER



Campfire Hobo Dinner image

In the sixties I was a Camp Fire Girl and this is a recipe we learned to make and cook over a campfire. We made ours with a pork chop, potatoes, carrots and onion. I've tried to revise it so you can use any of your families favorite vegetables and meat. You could make these before you leave home and put them in a waterproof container in your ice chest. List of meats that work good: chicken tenders, smoked sausage slices, ground beef patties, ground turkey patties, thin boneless pork chops. List of vegetables that work good: carrots, green beans, corn, mixed vegetables, etc. (Vegetables can be fresh, frozen or canned). Be creative!

This is what we make for our annual family canoe camp-out in northern Wisconsin. Ingredients can be customized for picky eaters or embellished for hearty eaters! Cooking time will depend somewhat on the heat in the coals.

Categories     Stew

Time 45m

Yield 2 cup packets, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 pieces heavy-duty aluminum foil (rectangular)
4 potatoes, peeled
4 carrots, peeled
4 large mushrooms (optional)
1 lb hamburger, divided (or stew meat)
1 onion, quartered (optional)
4 garlic cloves (optional)
2 teaspoons beef base, divided (bouillon)
4 tablespoons butter, divided
salt & pepper
dried herbs
8 tablespoons water, divided

Steps:

  • Lay FOUR foil pieces along counter or on table top (set other four pieces aside).
  • In center of foil, dice one potato and carrot; slice one mushroom.
  • Crumble one-fourth of the hamburger over the 'shroom.
  • Slice or mince one-quarter of the onion over the burger.
  • Press one clove of garlic over the onion.
  • Add half a teaspoon of beef base to the mound.
  • Snip up one tablespoon of butter over each pile.
  • Sprinkle on salt & pepper and any herbs (basil, parsley, thyme, oregano) you like.
  • Bring ends of foil to center, then make small folds (twice) to lock in the top. Wrap ONE end up, roll end tightly.
  • Lift packet up and gently shake goodies to compress.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of water to the open end, then carefully fold and roll up the open end.
  • Set rolled packet into center of SECOND sheet of foil and wrap again. This prevents any gravy-juice from sneaking out.
  • Over indirect campfire/grill or rake campfire coals over -- cook 30 minutes (check to be sure spuds are soft).
  • OPEN CAREFULLY as the inside will be steamy and HOT!
  • Serve from inner foil or transfer to a plate.
  • BRILLIANT IDEA: Freeze the packets after wrapping -- then they'll stay nice and cold longer when you get to your campsite, and can be served the second night out.
  • OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS: frozen broccoli or mixed veggies; fresh corn, beans, or peas.
  • SAUCE IT UP: Add about 1/8 to 1/4 cup of cream of 'shroom/celery soup for a nice gravy/sauce.
