Lunch: Hobo Burger Packets

Beef, carrot and potato packets are a fun meal cooked in a tidy foil packet.

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1/2 cup butter crackers, crumbled
1 large egg, beaten
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
4 medium red potatoes, thinly sliced
1 medium Vidalia onion, thinly sliced
3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch rounds
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °. In a large bowl, mix together beef, cracker crumbs, egg, garlic, Worcestershire, cheese, salt and pepper.
Pat the mixture into 4-6 (6-inch) patties. Place each patty onto 2 layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil, enough to cover and close.
Add potatoes, onion, and carrots to the same bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper, tossing to combine.
Top each patty with an equal portion of the vegetable mixture then seal each packet tightly. Place on a sheet tray and bake for 40 minutes, until the burger is cooked through and the vegetables are soft.
