This recipe brings me back... I remember having this for dinner a lot when I was growing up because it was something that we could all agree upon (that and Dad's homemade pizza). This recipe takes little preparation and cook time and is sure to please everyone!! You may wonder why they're called "hobos" and to be honest I'm not sure when my family started calling them this... ANYWAY, we call them "hobos," because, similar to a hobo, you throw everything you need into a sack or package. This recipe can be altered to fit you and your family's tastes, but this is how my family has always prepared them, but replacing the hamburger with chicken.
I was inspired by something I saw on the Food Network and realized I had a HUGE head of cabbage in the refrigerator from my aunt and uncle; seriously, this head of cabbage was bigger than my head...about the size of a basketball. Whatever they did with their garden, they did it right because they had some great vegetables this year. When I think of coleslaw, I think of cabbage, carrots, and mayonnaise. I am not the biggest fan of mayonnaise so I generally try to avoid recipes that ask for it or I replace the mayonnaise with sour cream or (if I must) Miracle Whip. I also thought: Mayonnaise is popular on BLTs as well, so why not add bacon to this?
