Greek Hobo Pack (Foil Dinners)

Camping season is in full swing and we've just returned from a week-long camping trip with extended family. I didn't do much cooking on this trip (thanks nana ladybug!) so I don't have much to show for my week as far as food goes, but the weather is still really hot here at home and cooking inside is pretty much out of the question, so it was back to BBQ dinners. Here's the absolutely delicious creation I came up with tonight!

Greek Hobo Packs

(per person/pack)

1 Chicken Breast

1/4 cup Zucchini

3 Button Mushrooms, quartered

1/2 cup Red Pepper

3 small Red Potatoes, cubed

1 clove Garlic

3 Tbsp Onion, cubed

3 Tbsp Feta Cheese, cubed

1 slice Lemon

3 Tbsp Greek Salad Dressing

1 Sprig Rosemary

Combine ingredients in aluminum foil and wrap tightly. Cook on fire or BBQ (medium heat) for 20-30 minutes until chicken is cooked and potatoes are tender. Let sit for 5 minutes before opening packet (be careful for the steam!). 

Yum Yum Yum. 

I think I might make that again tomorrow!

Hobo Hash

Even breakfast can be made over the campfire!

Hobo Hash

2 Yellow Baby Potatoes

3-4 sausage links

2 Eggs, mixed well

2 Tbsp Milk

1 slice Tomato, diced

1 slice Onion

1 Tbsp Butter

Salt, Pepper, seasonings as desired

Pre-fry sausage and potatoes if desired (to keep eggs from being overdone). Combine all ingredients in aluminum foil and top with butter and seasoning. Wrap tightly in foil and cook for 10 minutes on a BBQ or on hot coals in a campfire.

Perfect hearty camping breakfast.

Cajun Hobo Packets (Foil Dinners)

Some of the most tasty camping meals I've had are Hobo Packets or Foil Dinners - all the ingredients deliciously roasted in foil. Not only is it really good, it's easy to make individual servings and simple to clean up, making it a great meal for camping.

I've been trying to make different combinations and this has to be my favourite so far!

Cajun Hobo Packs (per person)

1 Corn on the Cob

3-4 Baby Red Potatoes, halved

Onion Wedge (about 1/4) 

1-2 cloves Garlic

1-2 Sausages (any savory ones you like), cut in 1/2

Old Bay Seasoning

1 Tbsp Butter

Spray one side of a sheet of aluminum foil with cooking spray. Add ingredients in the centre and top with seasoning and butter. Fold edges together and seal the packet to keep the steam and juices in. Use a second sheet to wrap tightly over the packet if using open coals. Place on BBQ or coals for 10-20 minutes (depending on the heat of the flame and the size of the packet). Remove from heat. Poke a fork in to let out steam and let the packet sit for 5 minutes before opening. Unwrap and enjoy!

Happy Camping!
