📝 Instructions

9 steps
1

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

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.

3

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

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.

5

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

6

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

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.

8

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

9

Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Hobo Sandwiches!
