My husband loved it but it was too greasy for me even though I used ground chuck. Very easy to make and clean up.

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 really good. I used teriyaki marinade and red pepper flakes to flavor the meat. I will be making this again.

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!

This is a family favorite. I have made it a few times now and always as a beefy onion soup mix (Lipton's) to the meat before making the patties. Then I make some kind of gravy to pour over the entire dish. I have used all kinds of veggies as well. Everything works great, so delicious!!

I like to add more flavor, like in Paula Deen's Hobo Burgers. She adds egg, cracker, cheese, green pepper, salt, black pepper to the patties. Layers with the onion, potato, carrott, and bacon. Each serving is individually wrapped. My family loves it!

Well I can't argue with the ease of cleanup! I thought they were tasty, but after reading the reviews of blandness, I seasoned both sides of the patties with Emeril's Steak Rub, then sprinkled Seasoned Salt on after adding the veggies. A little greasy from the meat, but maybe you could put pieces of bread under the meat to soak up some of the fat?? Everything came out very tender and yummy - I'll make again! May even try camping since I've never had them like that before.

After adding some ingredients as others suggested I found this was pretty tasty. However I don't think aluminum foil is the best choice to contain a family sized meal (though probably okay if you do individual portions). The juices leaked out and I found myself scrambling to add foil so it didn't dry out. In the future, I use one of those easy to seal oven bags.

I make these quite often and my recipe is very similar to this. I took the advice of this recipe and added some carrots and they were pretty yummy. I usually add a little bit of soy sauce just to add a bit of flavor and use the extra lean ground beef.

My dad used to make these for us when we were kids. I now use turkey burger and then season it with a garlic powder, salt and pepper mix. I then add approximately a 1/2 a can of cream of mushroom soup per hobo and then the onions, carrots, celery and potatoes - wrap it up in foil, put it in the oven and bake as directed in this recipe - my hubby loved it!

This is a very good meal. My only suggestion is to use lean meat and add butter to it before baking. I also season my meat to our liking before cooking. It also works to cook this on the grill, but you have to pay more attention to it and flip quite often. I grew up on this recipe as my dad would make it everytime we went camping (usually 2 or 3 times on each trip) making it over an open fire. It's been one of my favorites since I was 7 years old.
