Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 medium potatoes diced
  • 4 medium carrots sliced
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Aluminum foil

Method
 

  1. Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, diced potatoes, sliced carrots, chopped onion, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  3. Cut four large pieces of aluminum foil, about 12 inches long. Divide the mixture evenly among the foil pieces, placing it in the center of each piece.
  4. Fold the sides of the foil over the mixture, then roll up the ends to create a sealed packet. Make sure there are no openings for steam to escape.
  5. Place the foil packets on the grill or in the oven. Cook for about 30-35 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the beef is cooked through.
  6. Carefully open the packets (watch out for steam) and serve hot.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with black beans or lentils and add extra vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini.
  • Experiment with different seasonings or sauces, such as barbecue sauce or Italian seasoning, to customize the flavor to your liking.
