HOBO FOIL PACKETS
Hobo chip packaging has always been second nature to me; We had them all the time growing up! With a father and two brothers who were big scouts and camping enthusiasts, we had so much fun packing the hobo.
A hobo packet is basically a bundle of chopped ingredients wrapped in foil and cooked over charcoal in a campfire. We love them so much, we even eat them when we’re not camping!
Most packages of hobo include ground beef, potatoes, carrots, and plenty of ketchup.
My twist on these typical packages is to replace ground beef with sausage since ground beef often ends up inedible (which explains why at least half a container of ketchup is needed to get it down!).
In a foil package, the ground beef is pretty much cooked, making it firm, chewy, and close in flavor.
We’ve found that substituting beef for sausage still gives you all the flavors of traditional tin foil with plenty of great flavor and texture.
In addition, the sausage also comes with a lot of ketchup – which should be topped with
Ingredients:
●1 pkg (14 oz; 392g) smoked beef and pork sausage, cut into coins

Step 5: In a large mixing bowl, add the carrots, sausage, onion, and potatoes.
