HOBO DINNER
This version of hobo dinner is one my mom and dad made when we were growing up. It uses smoked dinner sausage slices (Hillshire Farms, etc.) instead of ground beef or other meats. Everyone loves it. It only takes one dish to make this in, and it's an entire meal by itelf in my house. Amounts can be easily increased if more servings are needed. Keeps well in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, and is delicious reheated. Not sure if it can be frozen for later....

Steps:
- TIP: Chop the vegetables in sizes that relate to how quickly they cook. For example, chop the carrots smaller than the mushrooms.
- Poke holes in the potatoes with a fork. Wrap each potates individually in a paper towel and microwave them together for 4-5 minutes before peeling and chopping.
- Make 4 large aluminum foil pouches by folding the foil in half and then rolling the sides over at least 3 times. Add one fourth of each ingredient per pouch. Roll the top over to seal tightly.
- Place the pouches on a hot grill and carefully turn and rotate every 5-10 minutes until all of the vegetables are soft or about 25-30 minutes. Leave the pouches closed until you are ready to serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables: Vegetables that hold their shape well, such as potatoes, carrots, and onions, are good choices for hobo dinners. Avoid vegetables that are easily overcooked, such as leafy greens and tomatoes.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
- Season the vegetables: Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings before wrapping them in foil.
- Wrap the vegetables tightly in foil: This will help to keep the vegetables moist and flavorful.
- Cook the vegetables over a hot fire: This will help to caramelize the vegetables and give them a smoky flavor.
- Let the vegetables rest before serving: This will allow the vegetables to cool slightly and the flavors to meld.
