Campfire Hobo Breakfast

2 thin sliced onions
4 potatoes cut in small cubes (red potatoes are great in this, plus they were all we had!)
1 diced green pepper
1-pound fresh sausage (uncooked) torn into small pieces (or cooked, if you’re worried about it cooking through – we used the Morning Star frozen veggie sausages, and I just chopped up several in small pieces)
2 cups shredded cheddar
Salt and pepper
½ tsp. garlic salt
½ tsp. Italian seasoning, dill or rosemary

In a bowl, whip together:
8 eggs
½ cup milk
Salt and pepper
Sprinkling of the spices you used above

Preparation:

Start your campfire and let it burn down to a good cooking stage. Place your grate on top of the campfire ring. You will need a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil (or several layered pieces to keep this from burning)

Fold up the edges slightly to keep the liquids from running out. In the middle of the foil, pour egg mixture carefully over top, making sure nothing escapes out of the foil. Add 1 stick of margarine or butter cut into pieces.

Fold up foil - holding both long sides together and fold down. Fold until you are a couple of inches from the food. Fold both sides up making a packet. Be very careful and do not puncture foil when handling. Place carefully over the fire.

Cook at a medium heat stage - no flames. Cook approximately 45 minutes making sure the fire stays at an even cook stage. Enjoy!

Jeff and I cooked ours on top of our little grill on our Coleman camping stove – worked great, just singed the bottom a bit. But nothing like “flavor crystals” while camping! Yum!

For easy prep at the campground, prepare the veggie/potato/sausage mix and place in a ziploc bag. Separately, bag the egg/milk mixture. All you'll need to do is combine once you're there, and the veggies and potatoes don't get soggy in transit!
