Recipes: Hobo Packs and Biscuits

Recently in one of my email groups someone passed on this recipe for Hobo Dinners. I remember having them as a kid when my parents cooked them on the big huge grill. I was going to fix them this week, but my Mom told me how long it would take so we saved it for the weekend. We separated the potatoes/carrots in their own pack and let them cook longer. Then after he got the burgers on for a while the grill ran out of propane! We finished cooking them inside, and they were delicious! The taste of the potatoes reminded me of my childhood.

I saw my husband pull out the old cast iron skillet, and I was thinking what in the world are you doing with that!! (We never use it.) He had a recipe for biscuits he wanted to try. On Thursday night one of his classmates had explained the steps to make these biscuits. They are SO good!

Here are the recipes!
