Ingredients

Scale

Burger and Vegetables

1½ lbs ground beef (80/20)
Salt, pepper, and garlic powder, to taste
1 onion, sliced
2 cups baby potatoes, thinly sliced
1 bell pepper, sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Toppings

Ketchup, mustard, pickles, or any favorite toppings

Supplies

Heavy-duty aluminum foil

Instructions

Preheat Grill or Oven: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 400°F (204°C) to prepare for cooking the foil packets.
Form Patties: Season the ground beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Shape the seasoned beef into four evenly sized burger patties.
Assemble Packets: Lay out four sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil. On each sheet, layer the sliced baby potatoes, onions, and bell peppers. Place one burger patty on top of the vegetables. Drizzle each with olive oil and sprinkle additional seasoning if desired.
Wrap Tight: Fold the foil sheets into sealed packets, making sure the edges are tightly sealed to lock in moisture and flavor during cooking.
Cook: Place the foil packets on the grill or in the oven. Cook for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the burger patties reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) indicating they are fully cooked.
Top and Serve: Carefully open the hot foil packets to avoid steam. Sprinkle each burger with shredded cheddar cheese and let it melt from the heat. Add your favorite toppings such as ketchup, mustard, or pickles, and enjoy your meal directly from the foil for easy cleanup.

Notes

Make sure to use heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent tearing and leaking during cooking.
You can customize toppings based on preference including sliced jalapeños, mushrooms, or bacon for added flavor.
For cheese variation, try pepper jack or mozzarella for different taste profiles.
Check the internal temperature of the beef patties with a meat thermometer to ensure they are safely cooked to 160°F.
These foil packets can also be prepared in advance and refrigerated until ready to cook.
