Ingredients for Barbecue Beef Pouch Potatoes

  • Lean Ground Beef
  • Green Bell Pepper
  • Hickory Flavored Barbecue Sauce

How to Make Barbecue Beef Pouch Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Cut four 12-inch square sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the beef, potatoes, onion, bell pepper, barbecue sauce, and seasoning.
  4. Divide the mixture evenly among the four foil sheets, placing each portion on one half of a foil square.
  5. Fold the empty half of the foil square over the mixture.
  6. Fold in the right edge 1/2 inch, then fold again to create a tight seal.
  7. Fold the top and bottom edges in the same way, creating a sealed pouch, leaving some room for steam.
  8. Place the foil pouches on a baking sheet.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
  10. Carefully remove the pouches from the oven. Let them sit for a few minutes to cool slightly before opening.
  11. To open, use scissors to cut a small cross in the top of each pouch. Carefully pull back the foil points, releasing the steam.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
