Hobo Burger Packets
This is a super easy and always delicious foil packet meal.
Servings: 5 packets
Equipment
- Aluminum foil
- rimmed baking sheet
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef or ground beef mixture
- 4 - 5 large potatoes
- 2 large onions
- 3 large carrots
- 5 tbsp butter
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- steak seasoning to taste optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Tear sheets of foil for as many packets as you plan to make. Make them large enough to hold your ingredients.
- Pat out burger to make 5 patties that are no more than 1 inch thick. Set aside.
- Slice potatoes and onion in 1/4 inch thick rounds. Set aside.
- Peel and shred or thinly slice carrots. I like to use the vegetable peeler for this. Set aside.
- Cut butter into 1 tablespoon slices. Set aside.
- Assemble each packet by placing a burger patty in the center. Add a pat of butter. Cover with slices of potatoes, onions and carrots. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to your liking. Add optional seasoning at this time.
- Fold the foil over the mound of ingredients horizontally. Then fold up the ends so that everything is enclosed tightly.
- Place the completed packets on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for approximately 1 hour. Check at 40 minutes. Cooking times varies with thickness of burger and veggies.
- Carefully open the packets. They will be steamy. Serve and enjoy!
