Hamburger Foil Packets are a one-pan meal with tender carrots, potatoes, onions and hamburger patties, all grilled (or baked) to perfection! They are delicious little packets of comfort food and an ideal camping meal on the grill, campfire, camp stove or even in the oven at home!Â
Preheat grill or oven to 350 degrees F/173 degrees C and spray the inside of 6 foil containers with non stick cooking spray. * If you are using foil packets, spray the foil.
Slice potatoes thin, as shown.
Divide potatoes evenly between 6 foil containers/packets.
Cut onion in circles, then in half.
Add onions (dividing evenly amongst all 6 containers), 3 teaspoon of butter and ¼ teaspoon each of salt and pepper to each foil container.
Slice carrots very thin. (or they will not cook through)
Add carrots to the foil containers.
Divide beef into 6 even sections and form into 6 beef patties.
Add patties to foil containers, on top of veggies.
Seal lid on top (shiny side in)
Cook on 350 degrees F/175 degrees C for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, covered/lid down on BBQ or in oven. *Check at 35 minutes.
It will be ready when fork easy goes through potatoes and carrots and meat is not longer pink. * The best way to check for doneness (for the meat) is with a an instant read thermometer (https://www.thermoworks.com/Thermapen-Mk4?tw=FoodMe)
*Be careful because they are very hot on the bottom when they come off the grill, camp stove, out of the fire or out of the oven. You'll want to place on a heatproof surface.
