I remember my Father making these on our backyard grill - it's a quick and delicious meal that you can change out the beef for chicken, and use different vegetables.

I think I've seen this on a cooking show or something. It was one of the summer barbecue recipes and they used these same ingredients. When it goes into the oven for that long, you get alot of juices at the bottom from the beef, you could add a little red wine if you want. It's very easy, no fuss and absolutely delicious.

I first heard of these when I was cross-country traveling on the rails! It's a fun dinner I still enjoy making.
