Labor Day is this weekend and for some it is the last of the summer cookouts.  It is a time for celebrating the American Worker, and in these economic times no one person deserves more thanks than the American Worker.  Celebrate and thank all of those who are working to make this country a better place.

What better way to celebrate than with a truly American icon….the hamburger.  There are so many ways to prepare it.   My mother, God Bless her only knew one way…burnt.   My kids used to call them Hockey Pucks…I tended to agree with them, but not to her face.

I have learned to cook hamburgers than are edible…for that my kids are grateful.   So here is a new recipe that I will be trying out this weekend with the family.   It is naturally (for me anyway) from one of Paula Deens own recipes.   Hope you enjoy your weekend!

Hobo Hamburgers:
Ingredients

* 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
* 1 cup cracker crumbs
* 1 egg, beaten
* 1/4 cup lemon juice
* 1 cup grated cheese
* 1/2 cup chopped green pepper
* 2 teaspoons Lady’s House Seasoning, recipe follows
* 4 medium red potatoes, sliced thin
* 1 large onion, sliced thin
* 4 carrots, peeled and cut into strips
* 4 slices bacon

Directions

In a large bowl combine ground beef, cracker crumbs, egg, lemon juice, cheese, green pepper and House Seasoning. Mix well. Shape into 4 patties.

Place each patty onto 2 layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil (enough to cover and close). On each patty, place potato slices, onion slice, and carrots. Slice bacon in 1/2 and place both slices on top. Seal aluminum foil tightly and cook on campfire or in a preheated 350 degree F oven for approximately 45 minutes.

House Seasoning:

1 cup salt

1/4 cup black pepper

1/4 cup garlic powder

Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

Yield: 1 1/2 cups
