Ingredients
Scale
- For the burgers:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for best flavor)
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- For the veggies and potatoes:
- 2 large potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small zucchini, sliced
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), or preheat a grill to medium heat.
- Form the Patties:
- In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Form the mixture into four even patties.
- Prepare the Veggies and Potatoes:
- In another bowl, toss the potato slices, bell pepper, zucchini, and onion with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble Foil Packs:
- Lay out 4 large pieces of aluminum foil. Divide the seasoned veggies and potatoes among the foil sheets, spreading them out in the center.
- Place one beef patty on top of the veggies in each foil pack.
- Seal and Cook:
- Fold the foil around the burger and veggies, sealing the edges tightly to create a pouch.
- Place the foil packs on a baking sheet (if using an oven) or directly on the grill grates. Cook for 25-30 minutes in the oven, or 20-25 minutes on the grill, until the burgers are fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 160°F) and the potatoes are tender.
- Add Cheese:
- Open the foil packs and place a slice of cheese on each burger. Let it melt for a couple of minutes.
- Serve:
- Remove the foil packs from the heat and carefully open them. Place each cheeseburger on a bun and serve alongside the roasted veggies and potatoes.
Notes
- You can customize the vegetables with your favorites, like mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, or carrots.
- Swap out the cheese for your preferred variety—Swiss, American, or pepper jack all work well.
- For extra flavor, add a slice of bacon to each burger before sealing the foil.
