Hobo Dinner
This campfire classic can easily go from cliché to gourmet.
Hobo Dinner
Ingredients
-
1 potato
-
1 carrot
-
1/2 onion
-
1 burger crumbled, or use dehydrated meat, TVP or veggie patty
-
Seasonings *
Directions
-
At home: Chop vegetables and potato and store in bag or container. If you're using meat or a veggie patty that's not dehydrated, freeze it and make this meal your first night.
-
On the trail: Place vegetables and meat or TVP in tin foil and season to taste. Add about a teaspoon of water and then wrap tin foil around the food. Carefully place your dinner on hot campfire coals and allow to cook for 20-30 minutes, rotating as needed. Unwrap, add any condiments (ketchup, cheese, hot sauce), and enjoy!
Serves 1-2
* The great thing about hobo meals is that anything goes! If you're a practiced forager, look for nuts, mushrooms or herbs to give your dinner a distinctly local taste.

Hey guys,
Under the "seasonings" asterisk, you have "look for nuts, mushrooms"... Nuts aren't a big issue. Depending on where you are though, one false move with a mushroom and you need immediate medical attention. Unless you are skilled in shroom' ID., you SHOULD NOT eat a mushroom. Some highly toxic mushrooms closely resemble edible varieties.
Exercise utmost caution when picking mushrooms, it could save your life.
