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.
