HoBo's Are A Good Meal! (Yes, Truly)

      This neat little dinner idea comes from my mom. She made these for us when we were kids and we loved them. I tried them out on my kids and they loved them too. I'll add a picture the next time I make them but for now I will describe The HoBo dinner for you.
       You will need 4 thick ground beef or ground sirloin burgers, if your serving four, frozen mixed veggies, olive oil, salt and pepper, a sweet onion and large foil. The large foil just makes things easier. First you pull off a piece of large foil and put a little dab or 1/4 tsp of olive oil in the middle. Place your patty right on top of that and fold the foil to form a tent. With the top of the ten open you will now add the mixed veggies and chopped sweet onion mixed together. Add a little salt and pepper as desired with one Table spoon of olive oil over that. Seal the tent and repeat. Place all the tents in a frying pan and put the heat on medium. Don't peak until you can smell the goodness. Only then do you open one tent and cut into the meat to check the color of the meat inside. Cooking time varies and is the only tricky part of this dinner. To get it just right, the meat needs to be crispy on the bottom and tender on the top. The steam from the mean adds flavor to the veggies and cooks them. Once satisfied with the color, pop them on a plate and serve.
