Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 medium Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 pound Baby potatoes, halved
- 2 medium Carrots, julienned or thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 sheets Heavy-duty aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat or your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into flat patties.
Prepare 4 sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, each about 12x12 inches in size.
In the center of each foil sheet, place a small handful of baby potatoes and carrots. Drizzle with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Place one beef patty on top of the vegetables on each foil sheet and sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the patties.
Top each patty with a few slices of onion.
Fold the foil around the burger and veggies to create a sealed pouch. Make sure the edges are tightly crimped to retain steam during cooking.
If using a grill, place the pouches on the grates, close the lid, and cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through. If using an oven, place the pouches on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes.
Carefully open one pouch to check for doneness. The potatoes should be tender and the burger fully cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Carefully open the pouches (watch out for hot steam!) and transfer the contents to plates. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful burgers in a pouch!
