Hobo Dinner
Growing up, my family would go camping quite a bit. Hobo dinner was on the menu every trip. A hobo dinner is individual servings of meat and vegetables wrapped in foil and cooked. To keep everything from sticking to the foil, a couple of tablespoons of butter are included inside the foil pouch. When you're camping, typically it's cooked in the coals of a campfire, but it can be cooked in the oven and of course an egg. Just about any protein and vegetable can be cooked hobo style. We used the same veggies (onion, red skin potatoes, zucchini, red bell pepper, carrot & garlic. One version was ground beef seasoned with Montreal Steak seasoning and the other version was Johnsonville Original Brats seasoned with Bone Sucking Sauce rub.

I had trouble with using the flash with all the foil so I went without. The photos aren't as nice as I like. Thanks for looking!

That looks like a fun cook and meal. We had an ice storm here about 6yrs ago where the power was out for several days and we cooked a couple meals like that on the egg. The best one I called Hobo Stew which was all the veggies in the freezer that was thawing out thrown in the Dutch oven with tomato juice and a package of lil smokies. It was good.-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky.

Wow, that takes me back to scouts. I do not think anyone ever cooked one correctly back then, but there is a huge bit of nostalgia."Feed me, or feed me to something; I just want to be part of the food chain" Al Bundy

I remember doing that under a campfire several times when I was a kid. Looks great!

I was never in scouts, but a good buddy was and introduced us to this technique on a camping trip. It was great then and I'm sure it would be now. Definitely a must do with the fam. Onions, mushrooms, corn, and potato for me!Finally back in the Badger State!

What did the hobo's use before aluminum foil?

I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.____________________Aurora, Ontario, Canada
