heavy duty aluminum foil

Ingredients

1 lb red potatoes, diced
1 lb ground beef
1 package onion soup mix
1 medium onion, diced
2 carrots, sliced or diced into small pieces
rosemary, garlic and pepper seasoning

Instructions

Par-Boil Potatoes

Bring water to a boil. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt for flavor. Add diced potatoes and boil for 6 minutes. Remove from hot water and run under cool water to stop the cooking process.

Assemble Foil Packets

Add onion soup mix packet to ground beef and mix to combine.
Slice onions and carrots. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder and rosemary. Drizzle with olive oil (optional).
Place the vegetables and steak on a piece of foil. Fold together to form a foil packet using two layers of foil. (See directions in post for detailed steps.)

Cook the Foil Packets

Place the foil packets over indirect heat or over a small campfire. Placing the packets in large flames will result in uneven cooking. Foil packets can also be cooked on charcoal.
Cook for approximately 7 minutes per side. Cooking times are approximate and will greatly depend on campfire temperature.
After cooking on both sides, open the packet and add one slice of cheese. Close up the packet and cook for 3 minutes more, cheese side up.
Top with your favorite cheeseburger toppings and enjoy!
