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!

HOBO DINNER



Hobo Dinner image

This version of hobo dinner is one my mom and dad made when we were growing up. It uses smoked dinner sausage slices (Hillshire Farms, etc.) instead of ground beef or other meats. Everyone loves it. It only takes one dish to make this in, and it's an entire meal by itelf in my house. Amounts can be easily increased if more servings are needed. Keeps well in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, and is delicious reheated. Not sure if it can be frozen for later....

HOBO ADOBO FOIL DINNER #RSC



Hobo Adobo Foil Dinner #RSC image

Ready, Set, Cook! Reynolds Wrap Contest Entry. My hobo adobo dinner takes the typical hobo dinner and dials up the flavor. The traditional adobo marinade with ground beef gives it a smoky, southwest taste. Red peppers and green onions add a little kick to the potatoes. Monterrey Jack cheese is the fun surprise in the middle! Busy moms can make these foil dinners one night, and serve them the next. The neat little foil packets will keep for a few days in your refrigerator until it's time to bake them. The longer the meat can season through, the more flavorful it becomes.

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 Dinners, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 red bell pepper, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef, thawed
4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1/2 red pepper, diced
2 green onions, sliced
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
Reynolds Wrap Foil
4 ounces monterey jack cheese
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • For the Ground Beef in Adobo Sauce:.
  • Mix the first seven ingredients well in a medium-sized bowl. Soak the ground beef in the adobo sauce for 1-2 hours. After soaking, strain excess moisture off using a colander (it's fine to have a little excess moisture, as it will steam your potatoes. Too much, and your meat patties will fall apart).
  • For the Hobo Dinner Potatoes:.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and olive oil. Toss with potatoes, red peppers and onions.
  • To Assemble:.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. To assemble the meat patties, divide ground beef in adobo sauce into 8 balls. Press into patties. Place 1 oz. Monterrey Jack cheese (cut in squares) on each patty, as pictured below. Place another patty on top, and press together to seal. To assemble your hobo dinners, tear off a large piece of aluminum foil. Place one adobo patty on the bottom, and spoon potato mixture on top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Seal well. Bake for 1 -1 1/4 hours or until potatoes are tender.
