Sausage and Sweet Potato Hobo Dinners

                                                           

   As a child my mom worked 3 jobs as a social worker but always made time to make us dinner...She had a way of making something out of anything in the fridge and if it was leftovers even better. 

                                       

Mom made every hobo dinner variation possible. Meat, some kind of potato, and veggies. 

With three kids, 2 of them growing teenage boys that could inhale a bag of groceries, while carrying them in from the car she knew she had to do something that would hold them. The hobo dinners did it.

                                           

 Now it was nothing for them to eat 2 but still it filled them up and it was easy for her to make quickly. Today, we are still eating hobo dinners in my home...and the sausage and sweet potato variation is one of my favorite. The grease from the sausage flavors the sweet potatoes, green peppers, and onions so well.

I know if you try them you and your family will find your favorite variation too.
