Hobo Dinners are the perfect meal to make on a busy weeknight.  The hamburger, potatoes, carrots and celery and onions are all cooked in a foil packet making clean up virtually nonexistent.

To change things up sometimes I add a wedge of cabbage.  Season each layer of vegetables to keep the whole meal flavorful. 


The Hobo Dinner can be made the night before and placed in the refrigerator set out an hour before cooking.

The Hobo Dinners are a meal all by themselves, but I like to serve a crusty bread with alongside it or maybe some Red Pepper Flake Seasoned Crackers.

These Red Pepper Flake Seasoned Crackers give a little spicy flair and help push all the food on your fork.  The crackers can be made a day or two ahead and keep them in an airtight container.

For a quick dessert, the Creamy Peach Cobbler will not disappoint.  While the Hobo Dinners are cooking mix up the cobbler.

All you need for the cobbler is frozen or fresh peaches, sugar, heavy cream, a package of sugar cookie mix, and melted butter.

This is the easiest cobbler to make.  Just layer the peaches on the bottom and layer the other ingredients in the order listed.  Bake for 30-40 minutes.  Don't forget the ice cream, although, the cobber is superb without it.

 I hope you try these Hobo Dinners for a delicious and easy meal.
