Prep. Cut the heavy duty aluminium foil into two sheets. Set aside.
In a large bowl combine ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and black pepper. Shape into two or three beef patties (2 patties make a good size for 2-3 people). Set aside.
In a medium bowl toss potatoes, carrots, onion with olive oil, and dried Italian herb seasoning. Divide between two packets and top with the beef patties. Fold the dinner packets into small sealed bags leaving enough space on top for the air circulation.
Oven Instructions. Place the hobo dinner packets onto baking sheet or sheets and bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit or 190 degrees Celcius for 35-45 minutes.
Grill/hot coals of fire Instructions. Simply place the packets on the grill or over coals and cook or 45-60 minutes. I recommend checking the beef and veggies for doneness at about 40 minute mark.
Towards end of cooking, open the packets and top with shredded cheese. Close the packets and wait until cheese is melted, just a couple of minutes.
Potatoes and carrots should be tender, this will mean that your dinner is ready. If you want your meat well done, cook it for longer. Serve hot with favorite dipping sauces.
