Ingredients
- One hamburger patty
- salt
- pepper
- garlic
- 3 pats of butter
- 2-3 carrots, sliced
- 1 medium potato, cubed
- 1 small sweet onion, diced
- aluminum foil
- Pam no-stick spray
Instructions
Take a large piece of aluminum foil and spray with Pam cooking spray, or use the no-stick release aluminum foil they have out now:) Place a hamburger patty on the foil; season with salt, pepper, and garlic. Add diced onions, carrots, and potatoes. Salt and pepper the whole package again, and place 3 pats of butter on top. Wrap up the aluminum foil tightly and place on coals, or on the grill. It takes about 45 minutes to an hour, turning once. These hobo burger packages can be made ahead of time at home, and then just pop them out of the cooler and place on the coals for an instant, yet satifying full meal.
