Equipment
Ingredients
- 12 ounces baby potatoes cut in half
- 3 large carrots peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 1 large yellow onion peeled and sliced
- 2 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- ½ tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. (see note for grilling instructions) Cut two sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil large enough that they can be folded up into an 8-inch x 8-inch square in the middle.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes, carrots, onion, olive oil, and Italian seasoning together. Divide the veggies evenly between the two sheets of aluminum foil. (see note)
- Combine the ground beef and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Divide into two 8-ounce portions and form them into patties. Place the burger patties in the center of the foil on top of the veggies.
- Fold up the foil around the ingredients and seal well. Place on a large baking sheet with the burger patty side facing up. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the burgers are fully cooked.
- Carefully open the packets (there will be steam!) and top each burger with a slice of cheese. Place the baking sheet back in the oven, leaving the foil packets open, until the cheese has melted.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish before serving warm. (If you prefer, you can transfer everything to plates. I like the easy cleanup of eating out of the foil packs.)
Notes
- To more evenly divide the potatoes, you can prep them first. Add the potatoes, along with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 3/4 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, to the large bowl and toss to coat. Divide the potatoes between the foil sheets. Then, toss the carrots and onions in the same bowl with 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil and 3/4 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and divide them between the foil.
- To Grill: Place the foil packets directly on the grill rack and cook over medium-high heat for 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the ground beef reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.
