Hobo Meals

| 4 Comments

I don't know when I had my first hobo meal, but it is always been a favorite here at Coffee Lake Farm!

You can start with either ground beef or chicken breast filet.....




Season your meat the way you want, and then place it in the center of a large piece of tin foil, I usually double up the foil to prevent it from ripping easily.



Once the meat is placed on the tin foil no spray or butter needed, add fresh or frozen vegetables, to it piling them on top of and around the meat. Again season them with spices and herbs to your taste...this may include but not limited to


potatoes

zucchini slices

green beans --fresh is the best

sweet pea pods

sliced onion

radishes(try baking radishes--it softens the bite and they are quite tasty)

parsnips sliced

carrots sliced or baby carrots

and any other vegetables


Once you have all what you want on this pile, place an ice cube or 2 on top of it...the extra moisture helps things from getting scorched....add your butter when it is cooked...if you add it before it can burn things.




Then take another doubled sheet of tin foil, and place it on top of the pile and then seal the sides and corners all together.




Tip---fold your corners differently to remember who's is who's so if you have different ingredients once it is cooked, you can tell which one is yours!




Cooking time on my gas grill is about 30 minutes, and I do move them around on the grill and rotate them, you do not need to flip it over though...moving and rotating them just insures even cooking and that when you open them up your meat is completely cooked! Enjoy!

Looks good doesn't it, and it was really tasty also!
