Shish-Ka-Bobs and Hash Brown Casserole

RECIPES FOR A DELICIOUS MEAL
Why not have your children help put this meal together?  Even little ones can help dump and stir to make the potato casserole, and it can be made a day ahead.  The vegetables for the meat can be cut up ahead of time, and the marinade can be mixed and stored in a Ziplock bag.  Your children will love helping to fix a special Father's Day meal for their dad!  Get them used to helping in the kitchen while they are young, and they will be able to make entire meals before they leave home!
