Hobo Dinner Foil Packets are a one-packet meal built around ground beef or turkey, diced potatoes, baby carrots, and green beans — all sealed in heavy-duty foil and cooked in their own steam. The method, sometimes called steam-pocket braising, requires roughly 10 minutes of hands-on preparation and produces virtually no dishes to wash.
In brief
- —Only four core ingredients: meat, potatoes, carrots, green beans
- —About 10 minutes of hands-on prep time
- —Foil seals in steam for tender, self-braised results
