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.

This has always been a simple and a favorite. Even though it has simple ingredients, the flavor is great. I add a little worcestershire sauce and garlic to the mix. Make sure there's enough liquid as well, this can dry out easily

These were really good. I made these in individual packets and also added celery for extra flavor. I made a brown gravy to pour on when they came out of the oven. The kids loved it!

Pretty good eats! If you want to make this super easy, use the prepared beef patties from your local grocery store and top with veggies. Makes a easy dinner for busy moms!

This was super yummy! BUT.... I added tons of seasonings to make it yummy. I cooked each person's meal individually wrapped in tinfoil. My kids thought it was so cool! I put the hamburger patty down first & seasoned it with garlic salt, salt, pepper, seasoning salt, onion salt & hamburger seasoning. Then I peeled & diced a potatoe up for each person & also carrots into round slices. I seasoned those with salt & pepper & garlic salt. Then I added 2 TBSP of butter ontop of everything & sealed the tinfoil up. I baked these in the oven on 400 degrees for about 45 min. My whole family loved it & it was super easy & very tasty & just something fun & different!

Sometimes putting a teaspoon or two of water helps(just be careful when you wrap the tinfoil up). My dad taught me how to make this when I was a little girl. You can throw the packets directly on a campfire, although it is a lot quicker with a grill.

My kids really loved this. My 4 year old doesn't like potatoes but since I cut them up like fries he really liked it. Anything the kids like is a winner!

added the onion soup mix to the recipe and it was flavorful. I think I cut my potatoes too big and I used the mini carrots and didn't cut them so they never got soft, both of which I'd do differently next time.

5 stars for the inspiration below. My Nephew asked for “Hobo stew” for a camping trip where I was cooking on a campfire for 30 and I didn’t have a clue what he wanted. I only had a tri-pod and needed to go with individual foil packets, for speed and cleanliness. I wanted these to cook faster, so I did prep work at home. I pattied the hamburgers and threw them on my gas grill and par boiled the veggies. I threw a grilled hamburger, the veggies, salt, pepper and a few tablespoons of cream of mushroom soup in a single serving foil packet. I switched to the cream soup instead of the onion soup to make up for the juices lost from grilling. It only took about 10 minutes or so on a very hot campfire with the tri-pod dropped to just a few inches off the flame, turning once. Very simple, but it was the hit supper of the week! Thank you for the idea!
