Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 package (14 oz) smoked sausage, ((beef, chicken or pork) cut into coins)
3 cups thinly sliced Yukon gold potatoes
2 cups (3-4 large) thinly sliced carrots
1 large thinly sliced yellow onion
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon EACH: Italian seasoning, dried basil, dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, (separated)
Serve with: ketchup, fresh herbs (optional)

Steps:

  • PREP: If you are using the oven, preheat it to 400 degrees F. If grilling, prepare the grill by heating to medium-high heat (425-450 degrees F.) Tear off four sheets of heavy-duty foil and lightly spritz with cooking spray. If you aren't going to be cooking this meal in foil packs (See Note 1), line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • PREP VEGGIES: Cut the sausage into coins. Thinly slice the potatoes (about 1/8th inch thick). Thinly slice the carrots and cut large carrot slices in half. Thinly slice the yellow onion. Add the sausage, potatoes, carrots, and onion to a large bowl.
  • SEASON: Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of oil and all of the seasonings (Italian seasoning, dried basil, dried parsley, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, and salt and pepper). Add salt and pepper to personal preference (I add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper). Toss everything together until well combined.
  • DIVIDE: Divide the mixture evenly among the four prepared sheets of foil. Cut the butter into 1 tablespoon pieces and cut each tablespoon piece into 4 smaller pieces. Add four pieces of butter to the foil packs (1 tablespoon per foil pack). Seal the foil packs tightly so no air escapes, but do not double wrap the foil (use only one sheet of foil per pack, or the cooking time will be off). To seal the foil packet, bring the short sides together in the middle and gently fold down to completely seal. Then, roll up the ends.
  • COOK: Grill for 20-30 minutes or until veggies are fork tender (flip the foil packs at the halfway point). To bake foil packs, place foil packs on a sheet pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until veggies are fork tender. Campfire cooking: add to hot coals and cook for 20-30 minutes. Be aware they can take up to 40-45 minutes depending on the actual temperature of the coals, actual thickness of cut veggies, outside temperatures, how many foil packs are on the coals, etc. There is great variance in cooking these over coals.
  • GARNISH: Carefully open the foil pack, watching for steam to be released. If desired, garnish with fresh herbs (we like fresh thyme) and serve with ketchup drizzled over everything or on the side.

Tips for Hobo Packet Cooking:

  • Choose firm vegetables: Vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and turnips hold their shape well during cooking and won't turn to mush.
  • Cut vegetables evenly: This ensures they cook evenly.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This adds flavor and color to your packet.
  • Don't overcrowd the packet: Leave some space for the vegetables to cook and steam.
  • Season your vegetables: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are a good starting point.
  • Add a source of protein: Chicken, fish, or tofu are all good options.
  • Add a source of moisture: Broth, water, or even tomato sauce can help keep your vegetables from drying out.
  • Seal the packet tightly: This prevents steam from escaping and ensures your food cooks evenly.
  • Cook over medium heat: This allows the vegetables to cook through without burning.
  • Cook for the recommended time: Check the recipe for the specific cooking time.
  • Open the packet carefully: Be careful of the steam when you open the packet.

Conclusion:

Hobo packet cooking is a great way to enjoy a delicious and healthy meal outdoors. It's easy to do and can be customized to your liking. With a little planning, you can create a hobo packet meal that everyone will love.
