CAMPFIRE HOBO DINNER
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!

CAMPFIRE FOIL PACKS
These are easy to make for camping, my husband loves them! We prepare them at home and then leave them in the cooler until we are ready to cook. You can use any combination of meat and vegetables that you like. Do not try to use less olive oil or foil or your dinner will burn. Be careful when opening foil as steam will have formed inside and can burn you.

Tips:
- Choose the right type of meat: Thicker cuts of meat, such as steaks and roasts, are best for campfire cooking. These cuts will take longer to cook, but they will also be more tender and flavorful.
- Season your meat well: Before cooking, season your meat with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Cook your meat over a hot fire: A hot fire will help to sear the meat and prevent it from drying out. If your fire is too low, the meat will cook slowly and become tough.
- Don't overcook your meat: Overcooked meat will be tough and dry. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meat to ensure that it is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Let your meat rest before serving: After cooking, let your meat rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Campfire hobo dinners are a delicious and easy way to enjoy a meal outdoors. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a variety of delicious dishes that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're planning a camping trip, be sure to add a campfire hobo dinner to your menu!
