Hobo Bundles

Beyond hot dogs and s’mores.

 

You can make these yummy little individual dinners on a campfire or a grill. The original recipe was called Campfire Bundles and I found it in Taste of Home magazine, which is where the photo comes from, too.  My kids renamed the recipe to make it sound more adventurous.

 

Children like these because they can assemble their own dinner, leaving out any vegetables that give them the heebie-jeebies. Older children like tend to their own bundle on the campfire or grill, and younger children can manage that with a little help.

 

• 1 large onion, sliced
• 1 each red, green, and yellow peppers, sliced
• 4 large potatoes, sliced
• 6 large carrots, sliced
• 1 small cabbage, sliced
• 2 tomatoes, chopped
• 1-1/2 pounds fully cooked keilbassa sausage, sliced 1/2 inch thick
• 1/2 cup butter
• Salt and pepper to taste

Put the first seven ingredients in bowls on a picnic table or the kitchen counter. Make six double layer 18 by 18 inch squares of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Let individual campers/diners place the vegies of their choosing on the squares in the order listed. Top with sausage and dot with butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Wrap the foil around the mixture and seal tightly. Grill on medium coals over a campfire or barbecue grill.  Turn bundles after 30 minutes and grill for 30 minutes more. Makes 6.

 

I haven’t made these for a while, but when I did, I usually doubled the ingredients so that some in the family could have larger portions. We also tried using rutabaga (diced small) instead of cabbage; and sliced celery and frozen corn. Those changes all work well, so feel free to be creative with the ingredients.
