More recipes

These meals will appear in my food logs this week, just thought I would share. I have never tried these before so you will have to give me feed back on them!
BBQ Hobo Supper
1 lb ground round (I will use ground turkey, we are beef free)
1/2 cup BBQ sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
4 small red potatoes, cut in half
1 medium onion, cut into 8 wedges
1 large red or green bell pepper, cut into 8 wedges
1/2 lb baby carrots

1) Prepare grill.
2) Tear off 4 pieces of foil (heavy duty foil)
3) Combine ground round or turkey and 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
and shape into 4 patties.
4) Place 1 patty in center of each foil sheet; brush patties with sauce
and sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. Divide carrots and other veggies among all foil sheets.
5) Bring up 2 sides of each foil sheet and double fold each end to form a packet, leaving room for heat circulation insied packet.
6) Place packets on grill rack. Cover and grill for 12 to 15 minutes on each side or until beef is no longer pink and the veggies are tender.
