Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium, diced Onion
• 1 medium, diced Green bell pepper
• 1 cup, shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon Ketchup
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 Sandwich buns
• 2 tablespoons, softened Butter
• 4 sheets, large Aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill, campfire, or oven to medium heat (approximately 375°F).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, diced onion, diced green bell pepper, shredded cheddar cheese, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly with clean hands or a spoon until evenly combined.

Step 3

Slice the sandwich buns in half and spread a thin layer of softened butter on the inside of each half.

Step 4

Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions. Place one portion of the meat mixture onto the bottom half of each sandwich bun, shaping it to fit the bun.

Step 5

Place the top half of the bun over the meat mixture to form a complete sandwich.

Step 6

Wrap each sandwich tightly in a sheet of aluminum foil, ensuring the edges are sealed to retain moisture and prevent leaks.

Step 7

Place the wrapped sandwiches onto the grill, over the campfire, or in the oven. Cook for approximately 15-20 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the meat is fully cooked and the buns are toasted.

Step 8

Carefully remove the sandwiches from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes before unwrapping and serving.

Step 9

Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Hobo Sandwiches!
