Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 tbsp ketchup (optional)
- 4 tbsp mustard (optional)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Cooking spray or extra foil for sealing
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat or oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, season ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into patties.
- Cut 4 large pieces of foil and spray each with cooking spray.
- Place a layer of sliced potatoes in the center of each foil sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Add sliced onions on top of the potatoes.
- Place a beef patty on top of the onions. Add 1 tbsp ketchup and 1 tbsp mustard on each patty, if using.
- Seal the foil packets tightly and place them on the grill or in the oven.
- Cook for 30–35 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and beef is fully cooked.
- Carefully open the packets and sprinkle shredded cheese over the top. Close foil loosely for a few more minutes until cheese is melted.
- Serve hot, straight from the packet or transferred to a plate.
Notes
- Use heavy-duty foil or double layer to avoid leaks.
- Customize with other toppings like pickles, tomatoes, or bacon after cooking.
- Try ground turkey or plant-based patties for a lighter or vegetarian version.
- Great for camping — prepare packets ahead of time and keep chilled until ready to cook.
