Method
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or grill to medium-high. In a large bowl, toss the sliced potatoes, carrots, and onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
- In a separate bowl, gently mix the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Form into four equal-sized patties.
- Tear off four large sheets of heavy-duty foil. Divide the vegetable mixture evenly among them, placing it in the center. Top the vegetables with a beef patty.
- Bring the long sides of the foil together and fold down to seal. Then, fold in the sides to create a fully sealed packet. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
- Carefully open the packets, mindful of steam. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cook for another 2-3 minutes until melted. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
Don't Overcrowd the Packet: Give the ingredients enough room to steam and roast.
Uniform Vegetable Size: Cut your vegetables to a relatively similar size to ensure they all cook through at the same rate.
Check for Doneness: The best way to check is to carefully open one packet and pierce a potato with a fork.
Heavy-Duty Foil is Key: It prevents punctures and leaks, which is crucial for retaining moisture and flavor.
