hey guys today we're going to show you how to make hobo pockets what pray tell is a hobo pocket well this is a great meal that you can make in any campground where you can build a campfire it's an excellent meal for a group we're camping with our friend Scott and Jessica and they suggested that we cook these campfire pockets so they're really the ones that taught us how to do it and by the way you need to make sure that your campfire has a lot of small coals and embers in it so when you're cutting the wood for your campfire you really want to cut it in 1-inch one and a half inch strips because those strips will burn smaller faster and you will use those when it's time to cook your meal basically you just cut up some potatoes I do like to cut my potatoes smaller because I think that helps me cook a little faster onion how could a good been an onion and cuz I really liked the sort of caramelized onion a lot of people put peas and carrots and there's I don't like it in mine but you like it in yours so I put peas and carrots and yours I put garlic and mine and I also put bacon in mine I just cut the bacon up into little strips with some kitchen scissors and I use the really thick cut bacon the good stuff the good stuff that's right I usually get the hardwood smoked and then of course we put the ground beef in now my buddy Scott believes that it's best if every person makes their own individual hobo pocket there's something that's really kind of fun about the process no peas no carrots yeah and it becomes this little science experiment because you will inevitably be curious now your own hobo pocket is going to turn out you just get to make it the way you like what I'm doing camera Kristi's making a little pocket so we're breaking the rule of having to make your own pocket just because I love you so much mix onions garlic in there I just get the ground beef that's 85% lean 15% fat basically what you would usually get to make a good juicy hamburger man I'm just gonna divide it I got a pound for the two of us and honestly that's probably a little much for me what by leftovers we'll have some leftovers I'll fry an egg and have a breakfast in the morning so now I'm just gonna put some olive oil in here I'm just gonna be generous about it I'll do this one salt and pepper and a couple of Pat's of butter butter knocking when in doubt add butter basically you just wrap everything up and a couple of layers 10 foil aluminum foil whatever you like to call it so now they are ready and stick it down in the kind of embers of your campfire and then take a shovel and cover it up with more in verse and just let it cook for like 30 or 40 minutes you know it's really tasty a good little campfire meal it doesn't really get a lot of things dirty because basically you just chop up your vegetables on a plate and you know wrap them up in tinfoil so you don't really have pots that are dirty that you have to worry about washing or anything it's kind of nice and so water saver so that's hobo pockets great meal to make when you're camping a lot of fun to prepare as a group if you make hobo pockets be sure and post and let us know how they turn out until next time thanks for tuning in guys if you are new here please subscribe to our channel here on YouTube subscriptions ensure that you will never miss a video including future delicious camping recipes if you liked the video give it a thumbs up disliked it give it a thumbs down feel free to leave a comment and of course don't forget to subscribe
