Hobo Dinner

Some of you might be asking what is a hobo dinner? It's pretty much when you haven't gone grocery shopping and you just put things together to make a yummy meal. Mine usually have hamburger, potatoes, corn, and green beans. But you can add whatever sounds good to you. Tonight I didn't have any potatoes so I added kidney beans and tomatoes.
First get all of your ingredients together and mix them in a bowl.



Next you need to get some tin foil and cut them into little pieces big enough to make little packets for your food. I like to lay down my meat first and then put the toppings on top of the meat, or you can just mix it all together. Pre heat the oven to 350 degrees.


You can season everything however you like, I just put season salt and pepper on the hamburger. If you put the hamburger down first, then put the toppings on top. Make sure you do not add too much or your packet will not close.

To make the little packets, bring the sides up together and then roll. Then do the ends. Make sure that they are tight so the juices from the food doesn't run out. I put the packets onto a cookie sheet, I think it's easier to take out of the oven. You can also just set them on the oven rack. If they have potatoes in them bake it for 40-50 mins. If they don't have potatoes,  bake them for 25-30 mins.


These are also a good meal for when you go camping! Or you can cook them on the BBQ for a quick summer dinner.
