Jenn Dolari<p>This Week's Meals (2/2): Campfire Hobo Dinner</p><p>So. This has a wierd origin story. I was watching an episode of Mythbusters, when, during the making of a firepit, Jamie started making what he called a "Campfire Hobo Dinner." After some researching I found out what it was and what it consisted of, and it is FANTASTIC.</p><p>Might have to do with the HUGE knob of butter you put in it, but that's beside the point.</p><p>This was a fun little meal to assemble, and I can see that cooking it on a real firepit would be a lot of fun. It's doable in an oven, and comes out great. I think I'd go lighter on the carrots, just because when you cook carrots, they get sweet, and I don't like sweet carrots.</p><p>Title: Campfire Hobo Dinner<br>Yield: 3 servings<br>Cooking Time: 50 minutes<br>Category: Entree<br>Cuisine: American<br>Source: food.com<br>Website: <a href="https://www.food.com/recipe/campfire-hobo-dinner-247841" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">food.com/recipe/campfire-hobo-</span><span class="invisible">dinner-247841</span></a></p><p>---<br>Ingredients<br>---<br>1/2 pound smoked sausage (sliced)<br>1 cup potato (sliced)<br>1 cup carrot (sliced)<br>1/2 cup onion (sliced)<br>4 tsp butter<br> garlic powder (to taste)<br> salt (to taste)<br> pepper (to taste)<br> cooking spray<br>4 sheets aluminum foil (18 inches square)</p><p>---<br>Instructions<br>---</p><p>1 - Spray 18-inch square of aluminum foil with cooking spray.<br>2 - Place equal portions of the meat in center of foil.<br>3 - Place equal portions of the vegetables on top of meat.<br>4 - Season with equal portions butter<br>5 - Season with salt, garlic powder and pepper to taste.<br>6 - Fold top and sides of foil several times to seal food.</p><p>THREE WAYS TO COOK: Always place seam side up when cooking.
