This Week's Meals (2/2): Campfire Hobo Dinner

So. This has a wierd origin story. I was watching an episode of Mythbusters, when, during the making of a firepit, Jamie started making what he called a "Campfire Hobo Dinner." After some researching I found out what it was and what it consisted of, and it is FANTASTIC.

Might have to do with the HUGE knob of butter you put in it, but that's beside the point.

This was a fun little meal to assemble, and I can see that cooking it on a real firepit would be a lot of fun. It's doable in an oven, and comes out great. I think I'd go lighter on the carrots, just because when you cook carrots, they get sweet, and I don't like sweet carrots.
