Tin Foil Dinner Recipe

It has been super rainy the last few days.  I'm not exactly complaining because I love the rain and am more than happy to enjoy cool weather before the wicked hot summer days really start up.  But with the rain and cooler weather comes my desire to eat hearty foods.  I decided to cook up some tin foil dinners!  I've always called them tin foil dinners but love that some people call them Hobo Dinner.  Am I the only one who loves the word Hobo?  When I was a kid we would sometimes eat these for church activities or when camping.  I always loved them even though they seemed to take a million years to cook when done in a camp fire.  These turned out great and were just the hearty stew like dinner that the weather called for.

This is a fun recipe that you can play around with the ingredients.  I used 3 Carrots, 5 Red Potatoes, an Onion, half a head of Broccoli, 2 Celery, a Can of Reduced fat Cream of Mushroom Soup, and 1 1/2 lbs of Ground Beef.  You will also need Aluminum Foil.

Chop up all your veggies and try to make them uniform in size.

Get a sheet of foil large enough for a hamburger patty and veggies and place the patty in the center.  Salt and Pepper to your taste.  Top with a couple spoonfuls of the Cream of Mushroom Soup.

Then add a bunch of yummy veggies into the mix.  I added a bit more salt and pepper at this point.

Then fold up the two longer sides to create a pouch.

Fold in the other sides and crimp together to make a good seal.

Then place your Tin Foil Dinners on a baking sheet evenly spaced.  Bake at 350 for about an hour or until the veggies are soft.

Carefully unfold the pouches as they will be hot.  Oh boy, supper is looking yummy at my house!

Enjoy!
