My dad showed me how to make these packet meals when money was tight. Just 4 ingredients for a perfectly tender individual feast

These hobo dinners are a meal in themselves, but I like to round them out with something cool and crisp, like a simple lettuce salad or sliced cucumbers in vinegar. A basket of warm bread or dinner rolls is handy for soaking up the rich brown juices that collect in the foil trays. If you want to stretch things for a bigger crowd, serve with buttered peas or green beans on the side and finish with something homey for dessert, like applesauce or a pan of brownies.
