HOBO BACON BURGER DINNERS #RSC

Steps:

• Tear off and set aside 6 12-inch square pieces of Reynold's Wrap foil to serve as your hobo dinner pouches. Also line a large baking dish or tray with a sheet of foil for easy clean up of any drips.
• Chop vegetables into bite-size pieces and lightly cover with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• Mince garlic. Cover with salt and smash with blade of knife until forms a garlic-salt paste.
• Mix into ground beef: garlic salt paste, pepper, olive oil, and yellow mustard. Stir until mixed well.
• Form meat into 6 portions 1/4 lb. each and smash into thick burger patties on the foil sheets. Wrap a piece of bacon around each one.
• Place vegetables with bacon burgers and fold the foil corners up to enclose the food in foil pouches.
• Place foil pouches on foil lined baking pan and bake in oven @ 400 degrees for 30 minutes. You'll next drain out excess liquid from the vegetables then return to cook uncovered for another 15 minutes. This will allow vegetables to brown and onions to caramelize.
• Drain water from vegetables by opening one side of each foil pouch, form it into the shape of a spout, and pour out the excess liquid by tilting them over a sink. The foil works great for this step because the tips of the foil at the top of the pouches cool off in seconds and you can hold onto them to drain out the liquid.
• Open the pouches so food is uncovered and return to oven to continue cooking for 15 minutes. If you would like vegetables more browned and bacon crisper, also broil them on high 6 inches from heat for 2-3 minutes.
• These hobo bacon burger dinners are great for eating on the go. The dinners can be stored in the fridge right in the same foil packs they cook in and can be easily transported for picnics and other events. They are also versatile with cooking; prepare the foil packs for cooking ahead of time and then throw them on a grill at a barbeque cookout or tailgate party.
• Your hobos will be eating good!

HOBO DINNERS FOR CAMPERS

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.

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.
