Cookbook:Hobo Burgers

| Cooking techniques | Camp Cooking

Hobo burgers are a camping classic. Wrapping the meal in cabbage leaves helps to preserve moisture and prevent burning.

Ingredients

 * 1 pound (about 500 g) ground beef
 * 1 onion, thinly sliced
 * 2 potatoes, thinly sliced
 * 4 tablespoons butter
 * 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
 * 8 cabbage leaves
 * Salt to taste
 * Pepper to taste

Procedure

 * 1) Mix Worcestershire sauce into beef.
 * 2) Cut four large sheets of heavy duty aluminium foil and place a cabbage leaf onto the shiny side of each one.
 * 3) Shape beef into 4 patties and place onto cabbage leaves.
 * 4) Top each portion with onion and potato slices, add a pat of butter, and season with salt and pepper.
 * 5) Wrap another cabbage leaf around the top of each portion and seal each package.
 * 6) Place on medium-hot coals for about 20–30 minutes, turning twice (carefully) while cooking.
 * 7) Discard cabbage leaves if they become charred during cooking.
