Hubby's dad started him on these: on a large sheet of foil, arrange
ground beef with diced potatoes, onions and carrots. Season well (we
like salt, pepper, garlic, and Worchestershire, amoung other things).
Fold and seal foil to form a packet, cook on a cool part of the fire
for 45-60 minutes. I'm sure you could add things like green peppers
if you wished or even subsitute chicken for the beef. FIL called
them "Hobo dinners". What's nice is that you can get all the prep
work done, then relax by the fire while they cook.

Paula Deen had that on her show, she called them Hobo something, too.
They looked good, like individual meatloaves, unless I'm confusing it
with something else.

Yeah, that sounds about right -- I put ketchup on the ground beef
after it's done cooking. Another name for these (not sure who told
me this) is "Foil Babies"...
