Our hobo dinner is a perfect summer meal made over the campfire but gets even better as the nights become cooler. potatoes, onions, carrots, and beef come together with a creamy sauce to create a wonderful comfort food dinner. there is a slight chance that when you cheerily tell your wine-toting dinner guests that youre making an authentic hobo dinner, they may look for the door. when you usher them into the dining room and tell them to have a seat because the best hobo dinner ever is almost ready, they may panic. unfortunately for them, theyve already committed. fortunately.
