Hobo Sacks

I think this recipe needs a better name...

Anyways, it is very yummy and SO simple!

You'll need:
1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon House Seasoning (see below)
2 large carrots, peeled and sliced 1/8 inch thick
2 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/8 inch thick
1 medium onion, cut into small chunks
4 tablespoons butter, cut into cubes

Preheat oven to 400. Place four large sheets of aluminum foil on your work area.
Combine the beef with 2 teaspoons of seasoning and form into 4 equal patties. Place equal amounts of carrots, potatoes, and onions on the aluminum foil sheets. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each of leftover seasoning. Top each pile of veggies with hamburger patty and dot with butter. Seal foil packets tightly and put on a baking sheet.
Bake for about 30 minutes.

"We've been together for a while now
We're growing stronger everyday now
It feels so good and there's no doubt
I will stay with you as each morning brings sunrise
And the flowers bloom in springtime
All my love you can rely
And I'll stay with you"
