Hobo Dinner Foil Packets Recipe
Ingredients (Makes 6 packets):
2 pounds lean ground beef
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons dried minced onions
1 pound baby potatoes or small potatoes cut in half
3 large carrots, peeled and sliced
1 small white or yellow onion, sliced thinly
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning, divided
8 ounces colby jack cheese, grated
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Wyda aluminum foil (heavy duty recommended!)
Instructions:
Prep the meat: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, mayo, Worcestershire sauce, and minced onions until well combined. Form into 6 patties.
Prep the veggies: Clean and cut potatoes, carrots, and onion and add to a large bowl. Drizzle with half of the oil and sprinkle with half of the Italian seasoning, stir. Add remaining oil and seasoning, stirring until well combined.
Create your packets: Tear off six squares of WYDA aluminum foil (approximately 12-14 inches each). For extra protection, consider double-layering your foil. Pro tip: spray the foil with cooking spray to prevent sticking!
Assemble: Divide vegetables among the 6 foil squares and place a hamburger patty on top of the vegetables in each packet.
Seal the deal: Fold the Wyda foil over and seal each packet tightly to lock in flavors and prevent any leaks during cooking.
Cook with love: Heat grill to medium heat (around 325°F). Place packets on the grill and cook for 20-25 minutes, turning and slightly shaking packets often to prevent burning.
Finishing touch: Remove when vegetables are tender and hamburgers reach 150°F for medium-well. Add cheese immediately after removing from the grill and reseal foil briefly to melt.
Serve and enjoy: Open carefully (watch for steam!) and enjoy your personalized dinner creation.
No grill? No problem! Wyda aluminum foil is versatile enough for multiple cooking methods:
Oven method: Bake at 375°F for about 35 minutes.
Campfire cooking: Place packets over hot coals (not direct flames) for 20-30 minutes.
Make-ahead option: Prepare packets the night before and refrigerate until ready to cook.
