HOBO'S DELIGHT

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium-high heat.
• Form the ground beef into individual patties, and place each patty on a piece of foil large enough to hold the patty and some vegetables. Layer each patty with onion slices, carrots, and potato slices. Season with seasoned salt, salt, and pepper to taste. Wrap foil around food, and seal each packet tightly.
• Grill 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Carefully open each packet (the steam that escapes will be very hot), and serve.

BASIC BEEF AND POTATOES HOBO DINNER RECIPE

Steps:

• Lay out 4 sheets of 12″ heavy duty foil.
• Slice 1 medium onion into several slices.
• Place onion slices on the center of foil, making a base for your hamburger patty to go.

• Place the hamburger patties on top of the onions.
• Peel and slice 4 medium potatoes.
• Place the sliced potatoes on top of the burger and onion.
• Peel and slice 4 medium carrots.
• Add salt and pepper, garlic salt, and seasoned salt. Also add butter if desired.
• Take the pouches and bring opposite sides of the foil together above the food and fold them over once to make a 1' crease at the top. Fold the foil over 2 more times, but leave several inches of space between the food and the top of the foil pack, like a tent. Fold or roll the ends of the pack together toward the center to make tight seals.
• Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes. Enjoy!
