Hobo Potatoes

The recipe is from "Simple Summer Recipes" 1990

2 cups potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup thinly sliced carrots
1/2 cup celery, diagonally sliced
2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 slices bacon, cut into 2-inch pieces, crisply cooked
2 tablespoons margarine

Prepare charcoal fire for grilling. In 3-quart microwave-safe casserole, combine potatoes, onions, carrots, celery and water.
Cover with microwave-safe plastic wrap. Microwave on HIGH for 5 to 6 minutes or until vegetables are hot and just begin to cook, stirring once during cooking. Drain. Stir in salt and pepper.
Place potato mixture on 18x18-inch square of heavy-duty foil. Top with bacon and dot with margarine. Wrap securely with double fold seal. Immediately place on grill 4 to 6 inches from medium-high coals. Cook 25-30 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

I've cooked a variation of this recipe each summer now for years...who knows maybe since 1990!

I've even added zucchini or mushrooms -- whatever I have on hand and we've never been disappointed....thanks for the reminder tho'...the hot weather is upon us already!
