How to Make Hobo Packets in a Crock Pot

Aunt Lou here.

If you want an amazing one pot meal that has your dinner in neat little packets, this Crock Pot Hobo Packets recipe is for you!

Growing up, I remember eating some version of this recipe made over the coals of a campfire. It is such a great way to get have a dinner all in one little package. You will not have to worry about watching all kinds of different dishes, your meal is all in one!

Your potatoes and carrots will take the longest to cook up nice and soft. They is why they need to be on the bottom on the aluminum foil boats you make in all the liquid. If your packets are like mine, they will leak a little of the yummy liquids you poured in into your crock pot insert. Don’t worry, there is still plenty left to make your meal deliciously flavorful!

    I would like to try this recipe but the instructions do not say what to do the with “1 cup beef consume, divided” Can I assume it goes in with the gravy mix & water? The only thing that confused me about that was the word “divided”…I always assume that to mean divided in half, but I am thinking this might mean in fourths 😉 THANKS
