Hobo Pocket Recipe

Ok, I know this sounds like a craft only page but I love cooking. Mostly baking.
This recipe can be prepared in your kitchen, on the grill or in the campfire.

Ingredients:
ground meat
potatoes (cubed)
onions (cubed)
Salt and pepper
Aluminum foil
Optional:
red/green bell peppers
spices

Cut a piece of foil about 1 ft. long. (Double layers if you foil is thin and you are using grill or fire.) Make a thin patty of ground meat. I use about 1/4 pound. Lay in center of foil. Salt and pepper the meat (add other spices if desired). Top with potatoes then onions. Add a little more salt and pepper. Bring opposing sides (longest flaps) of foil to top and create a fold to seal. Bring up the other ends and press on top.
To cook in oven place on cookie sheet and cook at 400 degrees for about 40-45 minutes.
To cook on the grill or fire place in the coals for 25 -30 minutes.
Y0u can cook on the grate for 35-40 minutes over high heat.
Place pouch over bowl. Poke a drainage hole in bottom and let fat drain out. Can be served in the pouch or plated.

Add peppers at the same time as onion.
Omit onions if desired.
