Hobo Dinner Foil Packets (Hamburger & Potato)
Description
The recipe starts by seasoning ground beef with dry onion soup mix and forming it into patties. Separately, sliced potatoes, diced carrots, and sliced onions are mixed with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. A portion of this vegetable mixture is placed on a foil sheet sprayed with nonstick spray, topped with one beef patty, and a spoonful of condensed cream of mushroom soup. The foil is then sealed tightly to form a packet.
Baking these foil packets at 375°F for 35 to 45 minutes allows the beef to cook thoroughly while the potatoes and carrots become tender. This cooking method traps steam, intensifying flavors and preventing drying. The result is a self-contained meal with juicy beef, softened root vegetables, and a creamy mushroom sauce blending throughout.
This recipe can also be prepared on a grill over medium heat for a similar cooking time, offering versatility. The foil packets make an easy option for camping or simple weeknight dinners requiring minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef lean
- 1 ounce onion soup mix 1 packet, dry
- 4 small potato peeled and sliced
- 2 cups carrot diced
- 1 large onion or 2 small onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 10.5 ounces condensed cream of mushroom soup 1 can
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- 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 a 12″ x 18″ piece of foil with non-stick spray.
- 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.
Notes
- These foil packets can be cooked on a medium heat grill for about 45 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and beef reaches 160°F.
