Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces Hamburger buns
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 medium Onion, sliced
- 1 medium Tomato, sliced
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 0.25 cup Pickles, optional
- 4 sheets Heavy-duty aluminum foil
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well but do not overwork the meat.
Divide the ground beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty about ½ inch thick.
Prepare 4 sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (about 12x12 inches each) and spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place each burger patty in the center of a foil sheet. Add a slice of onion on top of each patty.
Fold the foil over the burger and seal the edges tightly to create a packet, ensuring there are no leaks.
Place the foil packets over a medium-high campfire or grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness (160°F for medium).
Carefully open each packet (watch out for steam) and place a slice of cheddar cheese over each patty. Reseal the packets for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.
Toast the hamburger buns by spreading butter on the cut sides and placing them on the grill or a skillet until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers by placing a cooked patty on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with tomato slices, lettuce leaves, pickles (if using), and the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious camping burgers by the fire!
