Foil Packets: Hobo Dinners

Made camping at Peninsula State Park Sept. 2022.
Delicious and easy; the sauce/gravy is wonderful.
You can make in the oven or on a grill.

  • 1 lb. lean ground beef (ground sirloin)
  • 1 package dry onion soup mix
  • 4 small potatoes, peeled and sliced or diced
  • 2 c. carrots chopped
  • 1 large or 2 small onions, sliced or diced
  • 2 Tbls. olive oil
  • 1 t. garlic powder
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • can of cream of condensed mushroom or golden mushroom soup

Instructions

OVEN METHOD: Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Combine ground beef and dry soup mix in a bowl. Form into four patties and set aside.

In a large bowl combine all remaining ingredients except mushroom soup. Toss until well mixed.

Spray 4 sheets of 12″ x 18″ piece of foil with non-stick spray.

For each piece of foil, place ¼ of the vegetable mixture in the center of the foil. Top with 1 beef patty. Add 2 tablespoons of condensed mushroom soup on top of each patty.

Seal foil packets well. Place beef side up on a large baking sheet and bake 35-45 minutes or until potatoes and carrots are tender.

GRILL METHOD: These foil packs can also be grilled at medium heat (low-medium if using a small grill) for about 45 minutes or until potatoes are tender and ground beef reaches 160 degrees.
