Hobo dinner

[Mel!]

Hello NAchef

What about Bulgar wheat? U can use it, wherever u would use rice.
But, it is not as inconvenient to cook as rice, while camping. U only have to add boiling water, and then it is ready to eat, after around 20 mins.

and it is also good with salad.
and it is dry, like rice, before preparation, so it wont go bad, when stored not in a fridge.

I never heard of Hobo anything and a relative brought me some hobo beans recently. They were so delicious. Like baked beans with ground beef and brown sugar, I think. Anyone have a TNT recipe for Hobo Beans?

My hobo dinner would be a big bottle of wine, bread, cheese, hard salami and maybe a candy bar.

i made a really good hobo stew when i was on vacation one night. sadly, i took an ambien, and don't completely remember what i put in the pot. but it was good.

from what i remember, i had some 85% angus burgers that had to be cooked or tossed by the next day, so in the middle of the night browned some diced onion, diced green peppers, and sliced garlic in a deep saute in evoo, set aside, and then made small meatballs out of the burgers and browned them. i deglazed the pan with some iced tea, then added the peppers/onion/garlic back to the mix, along with some dried herbs de provence, worcestershire sauce, a can of baby peas, along with a a large can of baked beans.

it was sort of a vegetabley baked beans with meatballs.

i would like to make it again, this time as a version of cottage pie, topped with mashed potatoes and baked.

Iced tea sounds like a neat twist. I love the meatballs idea. I think I will try the Hobo Beans recipe from my aunt, but instead of just mixing in ground beef I'll do meatballs a la BuckyTom. Thanks for the ideas!

cool jill. let me know how it comes out.
i left the meat alone, and just made small balls directly out of the machine formed patties. this made the meatballs more firm and a little more tough, but i kinda liked that about it in the dish. the pure beef flavor comes through the beans and veggies better.

Sweet! Thanks for the tips
