Ingredients
- *I have been told after explaining this meal to some that they also call it hobo dinner*
- 1.5lbs ground beef or turkey
- 5-6 med potatoes
- 4-5 carrots depending on size or about 1 cup chopped
- 4-5 mushrooms thick cut
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp favorite seasoning- I use Weber smoky mesquite
- 1 tsp season salt
- 1 tsp McCormick's Montreal steak seasoning
- 1 tsp liquid smoke
- 2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
- * All seasonings are optional and feel free to change them to your own taste. Also toss in any other favorite veggies!
Directions
-
First start out with a large chunk of tinfoil. I think mine is about 2 ft long (it was a bit too long) but use your best judgement according to how much you are going to make.
-
Next wash the potatoes, and dice them with the skins on. Place them in a large bowl and add 2 tbsp olive and 2 tsp of your favorite seasoning. Mix them up a bit to coat everything.
-
Then chop up some carrots and mushrooms, add them to the bowl and lightly mix.

Now it’s time to mix up that burger. I like to season my burger. This is the same mix I put in my hamburgers when I make them too. Place your burger in a bowl. Add the worcestershire, liquid smoke, season salt and steak seasoning to it. You can adjust any of those to your taste or add in your own favorites. Nows the dirty part. You can mix this with a spoon, but it will take you awhile. I like to just dig in and get messy and mix it with my hands. I think it all gets worked into the burger better this way.

ce the burger is all mixed up, it’s time to add everything to the tinfoil. First I spread out the veggie mix we made up already down the middle of the tinfoil (length wise). Then I take the burger and start making mini meatballs. These are small, about 1 inch in size if I were guessing at a measurement. Really it’s all guess around here! The 1.5 pounds of burger I used made 45 mini meatballs. Place them on top of the veggie mix.
-
Now it’s time to wrap it up! Bring in the two long sides first and roll them down. This can be kinda tricky when there is as much food to wrap up as I have, but I just squish it all in. Then roll up the sides. I like to have a bit extra on the sides to help create handles to lift it on and off the grill with.

Now it’s ready for the grill.

Time to sit back and enjoy the sunshine. This needs to cook on a nice hot grill for about 30 minutes or so. I think Mr. Bacon left this one on for 40 minutes since it was rather large. The more food, the longer cook times. If you’d only used 1 pound of meat, you don’t need it on as long. Oh the other nice thing about this meal, you can change it up to what ever you like, different spices? No problem! Prefer chicken? Toss it in! I love that about this dinner. You can even make up smaller individual packets for each family member and let the kids pick and choose what they’d like in their packet. That way they can’t tell you they don’t like it!
