Ingredients

Scale

For the Beef Patties

  • 1½ lbs ground beef
  • 1 packet dry onion soup mix
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

For the Vegetables

  • 1½ lbs baby gold potatoes, quartered
  • 1 lb carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Other

  • Butter or cooking spray, for greasing foil
  • Heavy-duty aluminum foil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the foil packets evenly.
  2. Prepare the beef patties: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, dry onion soup mix, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently just until combined. Divide mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty.
  3. Season the vegetables: In a separate bowl, toss the quartered baby potatoes, sliced carrots, and sliced onion with olive oil. Add salt and pepper according to your preference to enhance flavor.
  4. Prepare foil packets: Tear off four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Grease each sheet with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  5. Assemble the packets: Place one beef patty in the center of each foil sheet. Surround each patty with a generous portion of the prepared vegetables, ensuring even distribution for balanced cooking.
  6. Seal the packets: Fold the foil over the food and tightly seal all edges to create a secure packet that will trap steam and cook the food evenly.
  7. Bake: Arrange the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the beef reaches full doneness and the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.
  8. Serve: Carefully open the foil packets to avoid steam burns. Serve the beef patties and vegetables hot straight from the packets for an easy, flavorful dinner.

Notes

  • You can add other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms to customize the flavor and nutrition.
  • For a lower sodium option, use a reduced-sodium onion soup mix and adjust salt accordingly.
  • Ensure foil is tightly sealed to prevent steam from escaping during cooking.
  • Be cautious when opening packets to avoid steam burns.
  • This recipe can be adapted for grilling instead of baking for a smoky flavor.
