Hobo Burgers

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

Steps

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.
