This is very good. My family really enjoyed it. I would definitely use a lean ground beef. I added onion soup mix to the meat. Yummy!

Just like I remember making in foil packets in the campfire while I was growing up! So very easy and filling. No one complains about a good oldfashioned hobo dinner.

This is the only meal my Dad would cook when we were little! There are a few differences between this recipe and how my Dad made it. He usually browned the hamburger and onion together instead of making patties, sliced the potatoes thinly, and sliced the carrot into thin rounds. We also added shredded cheese! You can't live in Minnesota without adding cheese to your hot dish (a.k.a. casserole in most other parts of the country LOL!) He then layered them as follows: Hamburger, potatoes, carrots, salt and pepper to taste, a thin layer of shredded cheese and then repeat the potato, carrot and cheese layer again. This way it doesn't take as long to bake and is easier for serving little ones because the hamburger is already in little pieces. I think in the future when making this though, I will try what k4trln4 suggested in the review from Sept. 21, '09 and place the potatoes on the bottom of the dish so that they will get done faster! Such a simple but good supper.

Perfect for the picky eater in your life. This was a girl scout favorite of mine when I was young. We would place potato slices on the bottom followed by the seasoned hamburger patty, a slice of onion for flavor and lastly grated carrot. Keep the potato on the bottom, otherwise it might not cook through all the way through! Cooking the packets over a fire makes them great for camping, too.

this was pretty good for how easy it was. instead of wasting foil i threw everything in a covered casserole and it worked great. i sprinkled some onion powder and drizzled some worcestershire on top. i will make this again but i will add seasonings to the meat before forming into patties. i really love making no fuss one pot meals during the week. this was great with some homemade bread and butter.

I grew up on Hobo Dinners, they were always a camping trip dinner. my mom always mixed in Lipton Onion soup mix instead of the onions (cuz' we wouldn't eat it with em') and put a few pieces of zucchini on top before wrapping up to keep it moist.

This was okay. I made a couple changes the second time around. I dipped the meat patties into dry onion soup mix and omitted the onion and salt. I sliced the potatoes rather than chopping. I layered them over and under the meat patties. I sprinkled coarsely crushed pepper over the top of the carrots. We like dipping these in steak sauce. Yummy!

Very good recipe. My only addition was to season the ground beef with Montreal steak seasoning. The meal was easy to prep and clean up, too.

Very tasty, especially with seasonings on the meat and again on the veggies. The only downfall for me was all the fat juice it was sitting in...like another person said, make sure it's low fat meat. I may even try ground turkey next time.

My 3 year-old daughter gobbled up the burger, my 6-year-old son engulfed the potatoes, and I ate it all, but my husband quietly left his plate full. Here's why: this meal has an Old World taste. Like Old World America circa 1950, which is Old World Poland, Russia, or Germany. It isn't really very flavorful. For me, this was a throwback to my dear late grandmother's cooking, and even the smell brought back a memory of her. But, my grandmother fed me infrequently, while my husband's mother fed him mild food like this every day...and he now craves foods with gusto, flavor & punch! This does not have any of that. It is rather...um...I'm trying to put it politely, but let me say, it's simple. Although I had a nostalgic YUM moment, I cannot see making it again. AND, yes, I did flavor the meat with a dry onion soup mix first, and was plenty generous with the garlic salt, black pepper & sea salt. But, it still dropped flat.

When we make Hobo dinners we make a packet out of foil for each person. First I layer each packet with ground beef patty, sliced potatoes, green beans, corn and sliced onion. Then before sealing the packets we like to put cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup in each packet (do not add water). Just scoop the soup out of the can so each packet has an equal amount then seal and bake according to recipe directions. We love it!

Easliy adaptable with your own favorite seasonings. I used 80% lean ground beef and the patties cooked down a whole lot more than I'd anticipated.

I love this recipe! It is now one of my regular meals. Such a great and different way to use up ground beef. I do it a little differently, add my own touch. I season the beef first with a steak seasoning and layer sliced potatoes, baby carrots, onions and celery on top of the beef.
