Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb ground beef
4-5 med carrots
2-3 med potatoes
4 tbsp butter
2 packets of onion soup mix
1 onion, Optional. I don't use onions as I'm not a big fan but they would make a nice addition.
4 pieces of aluminum foil, 1.5 feet each

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350
  • Divide ground beef into 4 even hamburger patties about 1 inch thick. If you are feeding children you may want to make their portions smaller.
  • Wash your veggies. Cut carrots into 1 inch pieces and potatoes into 1-2 inch pieces.
  • Place hamburger patties in the center of each piece of aluminum foil. Surround each patty with pieces of carrots, potatoes, and onions if you choose.
  • Place 1/2-1 tbsp butter on the center of each patty. Sprinkles approx 1-2 tbsp of onion soup mix over the ingredients.
  • Gather the corners of the foil up and scrunch together to seal each pocket. Place sealed pockets onto a baking sheet in case any sauce leaks out during baking.
  • Bake at 350 for 40-60 minutes. Carefully unwrap one pocket keeping face away as steam escaping will be hot. Poke carrots and potatoes with a fork to check for doneness. Once vegetables are done the meat should be cooked through as well. You can check with a meat thermometer. Meat should read 140 degrees or more.

HOBO ADOBO FOIL DINNER #RSC



Hobo Adobo Foil Dinner #RSC image

Ready, Set, Cook! Reynolds Wrap Contest Entry. My hobo adobo dinner takes the typical hobo dinner and dials up the flavor. The traditional adobo marinade with ground beef gives it a smoky, southwest taste. Red peppers and green onions add a little kick to the potatoes. Monterrey Jack cheese is the fun surprise in the middle! Busy moms can make these foil dinners one night, and serve them the next. The neat little foil packets will keep for a few days in your refrigerator until it's time to bake them. The longer the meat can season through, the more flavorful it becomes.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 Dinners, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 red bell pepper, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef, thawed
4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1/2 red pepper, diced
2 green onions, sliced
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
Reynolds Wrap Foil
4 ounces monterey jack cheese
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • For the Ground Beef in Adobo Sauce:.
  • Mix the first seven ingredients well in a medium-sized bowl. Soak the ground beef in the adobo sauce for 1-2 hours. After soaking, strain excess moisture off using a colander (it's fine to have a little excess moisture, as it will steam your potatoes. Too much, and your meat patties will fall apart).
  • For the Hobo Dinner Potatoes:.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and olive oil. Toss with potatoes, red peppers and onions.
  • To Assemble:.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. To assemble the meat patties, divide ground beef in adobo sauce into 8 balls. Press into patties. Place 1 oz. Monterrey Jack cheese (cut in squares) on each patty, as pictured below. Place another patty on top, and press together to seal. To assemble your hobo dinners, tear off a large piece of aluminum foil. Place one adobo patty on the bottom, and spoon potato mixture on top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Seal well. Bake for 1 -1 1/4 hours or until potatoes are tender.

  • Prepare Ingredients Properly: Clean, peel, and cut vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking. Season meats and vegetables with herbs, spices, and sauces to enhance flavor.
  • Use Heavy-Duty Foil: Opt for heavy-duty aluminum foil that won't tear easily. Multiple layers of foil can be used for extra durability.
  • Fold the Foil Packet Securely: Fold the foil packet tightly to prevent leakage. Make sure there are no gaps or holes where steam or juices can escape.
  • Cook Over Medium Heat: Cook the foil packet over medium heat to ensure even cooking throughout the dish. Avoid high heat, as it can burn the food or cause the foil to tear.
  • Cooking Time: Cooking times will vary depending on the ingredients and the size of the foil packet. Check the recipe or use a meat thermometer to ensure the food is cooked to the desired doneness.
  • Rest Before Serving: Allow the foil packet to rest for a few minutes before opening. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the dish, resulting in a more flavorful and succulent meal.
