Ingredients

  • 2 lb ground beef
  • 2 lb bag baby carrots
  • 3-4 potatoes (cubed)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (optional)
  • 4-5 pats of butter
  • seasoning to taste (I use Cavenders and a little salt and pepper)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees

  2. Cut up 4-5 squares of aluminum foil large enough to hold the hamburger patty, carrots and potatoes, and enough room to close the foil packets. Place the pieces of foil on a cookie sheet. ( can also just place the foil packets directly in the oven, but the sheet pan makes it easier to handle)

  3. Shape ground beef into approximately 2 inch thick patties

  4. Place the ground beef patties in the center of each piece of foil.

  5. Place diced potatoes on the sides of each ground beef patty.

  6. Add carrots to the other side of the foil packet.

  7. Season the ground beef patty and carrots and potatoes with Cavender's liberally ( or your choice seasoning) and salt and pepper.

  8. Add pats of butter to the vegetables and shredded cheese on the potatoes and ground beef patties if desired.

  9. Close each foil packet and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until done and vegetables are tender.

Recipe Notes

This recipe can also be made on the grill using medium heat for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until vegetables are tender and ground beef reaches 160 degrees.
