My pal Christy first introduced the idea of the hobo dinner to me. Traditionally, you toss ground beef, potatoes, onions, and Worstershire sauce into foil and toss it on the grill. While a fake meat version of this is definitely tasty, I decided to do a little experimental veganizing when we got a CSA basket that was particularly suited to making hobo dinners.
You might notice some odd-looking things in my uncooked hobo dinner above, so I’ll explain. This basket included a bunch of golden beets and purple carrots. Awesome, right? All of the veggies in this dish came from our CSA basket, which is the beauty of the hobo dinner. It makes for an easy dinner idea, and you can substitute whatever you have on hand.

Had you guys heard of hobo dinners before? They’re such a great, easy dinner idea, and apparently they’re popular summer camp fare. I’ve definitely had fun experimenting with different hobo dinner ideas!
