Hello! I'm definitely going to make these! Sounds easy, convenient, and they look so good! Can't wait to try them. Thanks for the great videos. Keep them coming.

What do you plan to put in your Hobo Dinners? - Deb
I got a great deal on beef patties,so I'm going to be making beef pockets! That'll be my cooking project for tomorrow before my insane weekend on call shift
I hope this recipe helps make your on call shift at least a little easier!!! - Deb
Looks delicious thank you for sharing!!
Been making these for years and my kids still love picking what they want in their own meal (the youngest one of the 6 just turned 30!). A fun and delicious meal is always a treat. Enjoy!!! - Deb
These are a great idea ,thanks for sharing.😊
Also I use wooden skewers cut to my size so don’t get too juicy . Hope that helps 😊
A Great Presentation, I like to use some butter or vegetable oil for heat transfer and to prevent burning. I will be doing this on Memorial day with friends in Montana
Welcome to my kitchen, William! Adding some butter to your packets is a great idea and sounds yummy! I’ll have to remember to try that next time I make them. This is a great choice for you and your friends for Memorial Day! Maybe even consider letting your friends choose from a variety of veggies/meats to personalize their meals. Just write their names on with a bold Sharpie to keep them all straight before you put them on to cook. I LOVE that you’re watching us in Montana! Enjoy your holiday with friends!! - Deb
Love this meal it’s always been a favorite an you’ve done an awesome job with the steps and making these
Welcome to my kitchen and thank you for the encouragement. We here at Deb’s Kitchen honestly appreciate it! What kind of recipes/meals would you like to see on the Kitchen? I’m always looking for ideas of what our viewers are interested in. - Deb
@@DebsKitchen maybe a gumbo
Thank you for the suggestion. I’ve never made gumbo, being a California girl, born and raised. I’ll have to give that some consideration. What is on your gumbo? - Deb
That's when u gotta em when folks ride the same company and imagine
As a hobo myself, I take offence at your fetishization of of my socio-economic situation, whilst flaunting your kitchen in my kitchenless face. Also, we don't all just sit around over barrel fires, stewing food in aluminum wrappers that we dug out of the trashcan. We eat pizzas and burgers with as much dignity as EVERYONE else.
Oh, for goodness' sake. A woke hobo? I never would have believed it. Foil packet dinners have been called hobo dinners since probably before you were born. Everyone from the Boy Scouts to Freddie the Freeloader have used that term in a fun and non-demeaning way.
@@Banjoliopeyou just got played, Banjo
@@Banjoliope - I'm dying to know what other terms you still use from the "good old days." I dare you to fill in the blank for the following phrase: "Easy-peasy _______________sy." Also, when someone grabs and twists the skin of your forearm, what kind of a burn is that?
I have been looking for a new idea and the ground beef is a new thing. Thank you!
Welcome to my kitchen, Donna! I’m delighted to meet you. The ground beef version is my favorite, too! My family LOVES that they can customize theirs with exactly what they want in their dinner. Even now with them all grown and on their own, Hobo Dinners are still a treat if that’s what’s on the menu when the family comes for dinner and they still get excited about customizing their meal. I hope you and yours will enjoy these just as much! 😊 - Deb
You’re so cute! I love your “fridge and back” sign. Hahah fun video thank you!
Welcome to my kitchen, Lisa…I’m delighted to meet you!!! Your comment made me smile. Thank you. We try to have fun here on our channel, so I’m glad you enjoyed it. What types of recipes/tips do you generally search for on UA-cam. I’m always open to new ideas. Some of our videos are in direct response to our viewers’ requests, which is really a lot of fun for me to do. 😄 - Deb
If you microwaved your potatoes first, could you bake for less than an hour?
Hi David. I haven’t tried that but it seems like a great idea! You will definitely need to pre-cook your carrots and onions so they are cooked through. If you add zucchini and mushrooms, they’re so soft, they really don’t need a full hour. If you at least partially “bake” your potatoes first in the microwave, you should be able to take your cook time down to about 35-45 min, just to make sure your meat is done. I’d love it if you’d give it a try and report back. Thanks for the idea! - Deb
Hi from North Tyneside England.
I have just subscribed.
I think that these foil meals are great.👍🙏
Welcome to my kitchen, Annnirvin and thank you for revealing where you live! I am THRILLED to have you join our DK Family!!! We are going to be filming today…an incredibly easy AND delicious Chicken Adobo…in my crockpot!! I hope you’ll tune in and find many more recipes to enjoy! - Deb
Guess I should of been a hobo
Make these and you can eat like one! 😄
@@DebsKitchen just saying I didn't realize Hobo's had so much money to make a meal like that
Ho!Ho! This is a super time saver! Cook 7 dinners worth on a Monday. Though if I freeze them,what oven temp and how long to leave it in?
Welcome back, Kim! Since I thaw mine in the fridge, my cooking temp and time remain about the same. 350 for about one hour. What are you planning to put in yours? - Deb
It is a lot easier, quicker and neater if you put all the food on half the tinfoil then pull the other half over the top so the two halves meet one one side. you then roll the edges as you would if it were on top. To open you simply slit the packet down the middle and you have a easy neat serving bowl.
Hi Troll and welcome to my kitchen. I like your suggestion on how you wrap yours and I’ll definitely give it a try the next time I make them. Thanks for the tip! - Deb
It’s all the same she dun it great, works great whatever way you want!!! Every one does it differently!!! And adds different things!!!

YUM
Welcome to my kitchen, R of R! This is definitely yum and a wonderful comfort food dinner on a cold winter evening. When I’m building mine, my favorite veggies to add are zucchini, mushrooms, potatoes, onions and carrots or, if I don’t have zucchini, add some canned green beans (fresh overpower the other flavors) instead. What would you put in yours? - Deb.
The last line
I’m hungry now
Welcome, MJ! I’m glad you found us and I hope you’ll give these a try. They’re SOOOO easy and SOOOO good. What would you put in yours? - Deb
@@DebsKitchen I would do the burger one just how you had it except add a drop of steak sauce.
My family would love that!!! When shall I tell them dinner’s ready? 😉 - Deb
@@DebsKitchen lol. By the way, I love your show!
Thank you so much, MJ....that means A LOT to me. ❤️ - Deb
How do I make it so it is not so liquidy though?
My thought would be that the liquid is likely coming from your meat ( and maybe a little from your veggies as they cook down). You can reduce the liquid by using a leaner ground beef, but the more lean it is, the more tenderness you’ll sacrifice. Also, precooking your firmer veggies (carrots, onions, potatoes) will keep them from sweating and would reduce your cook time in the oven (or campfire/BBQ grill) which could also help if you’re using a leaner beef in terms of not allowing it to dry out. Your softer veggies like mushrooms and zucchini only need a short cook time, so you can add those raw. I hope this helps! - Deb
@@DebsKitchenIs there anything I can add to the foil pack that would absorb the extra liquid and make it a tasty sauce?
@tastybrownie7448 Are you wanting something thicker like a gravy? If so, I don’t know how I’d do that in the packet, but I guess you could poke a hole in each of the packets and drain them into a sauce pan and try making a gravy that way. I’ve never tried doing that so I can’t say how successful that would be, but it might be worth a try if you don’t know what to do with the juice anyway. If you try it and you aren’t satisfied with the flavor or amount of gravy you’re able to make this way, you could always add some beef base and water to add a nice rich beefy flavor and make as much as you like. Let me know if you try it. I’d love to know how it turns out! 😊 - Deb
@@DebsKitchenCan I just add some shredded cheese to the bottom of the foil pack at the beginning to absorb the liquid?
@tastybrownie7448 In my opinion, that would not soak up the juice…in fact fat would come out of the cheese and make more liquid. 😞
careful with that soup it carries a lot of sodium
I rem eating these by a lake I'n Moore county
Hey, Tony! I hope that’s a happy memory…others have shared their memories of these with me, too. My first memory of these was beach camping in San Clemente, CA. I think this might be just one of those “remember when” meals. I hope they taste every bit as good as you remember…enjoy!!! - Deb
