Hobo Dinners (Foil Packets)

Posted on July 11, 2022August 31, 2022 by AEC Heather

Hobo Dinners (Foil Packets) are the ultimate nostalgia meal for me. Bring them camping, make them on a week night, make them vegetarian, make it with fish! This idea is so versatile and so very delicious. Use whatever protein and seasonings you’d like, slice up some veg, and add some butter (always butter) and you’re on your way!
