Each year we have a family get together for the 4th of July. I always use recipes that can be made ahead of time and easily cooked on the grill in packets. It makes for easy clean up and my husband doesn't have to watch it so closely. When I fold up the foil packets I use a marker on the flat part on the top and put how long it should cook. You know the type - I do all the work and he gets all the credit for cooking such a great meal.

Potato Packets

4 potatoes, sliced
4 onions, sliced
4 tablespoons butter or margarine
10 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
and cut into strips
Salt and pepper to taste

Grease a large square of heavy aluminum foil. Arrange sliced potatoes on foil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cover with sliced onions. Add pats of butter or margarine. Wrap and seal foil. Cook over hot coals on a grill until done (30 or 40 minutes depending on fire). Open foil and add Cheddar strips. Cover again and grill for a couple of minutes, just until cheese melts.
