How to Make Foil Packet Meals

  1. Divide 1 lb ground beef in half and form into two flat patties (approximately 1/2 lb each).
  2. Season beef patties generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder (or your favorite seasoning blend).
  3. Place each patty in the center of a large (18x18 inch) square of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  4. Layer 1 cup cubed potatoes, 1/2 cup sliced carrots, 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms, and 1/2 cup sliced onions on top of each patty.
  5. Top with 1/2 cup drained stewed tomatoes per packet.
  6. Fold the foil over the contents, crimping the edges tightly to create a sealed packet.
  7. Cook on a preheated grill over medium heat, turning occasionally, for 30-40 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
