Classic Hobo Dinners

Ingredients
  

For the Hamburger:

  • 1-½ pounds 80/20 ground beef; lean beef not recommended
  • 1-½ tsp. kosher salt
  • ½ tsp. black pepper
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • ½ tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

For the Vegetables:

  • 1-pound small potatoes, cut into cubes
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced
  • ½ cup corn
  • ½ cup sweet peas
  • 1 yellow or red onion, thickly sliced
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • ½ tsp. paprika
  • ½ tsp. oregano
  • ½ tsp. parsley
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For Serving (All Optional):

  • Ketchup
  • Miracle Whip or mayonnaise
  • Lettuce
  • Tomatoes
  • 6 ounces Velveeta, sliced

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the grill to 400°F degrees.
  • Cut four strips of heavy-duty aluminum foil approximately 2-feet long.
  • To a medium bowl, add beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder and Worcestershire.
  • Use your fingers to gently work the seasoning into the beef; form into four patties.
  • In another medium bowl, mix potatoes, carrots, corn, sweet peas and onions with the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, oregano and parsley; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • If you’re making them over a campfire, place a cabbage leaf on the bottom of each foil strip before adding the vegetables; otherwise, put the veggies on the foil bags first and the burger on top.
  • Bring the two short sides together and fold them over; fold/roll the remaining two sides.
  • Place directly on grill grate; cover and cook for 25 – 30 minutes or until burgers register 165°F.
  • The steam can be very hot so very carefully, loosen the foil bags.
  • If desired, place a slice of cheese on top of each burger.
  • Wrap the cheese loosely and let the cheese melt for a few minutes.
  • Top the burger with Miracle Whip and/or ketchup plus your favorite toppings and serve.
