Ingredients

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 8 whole carrots, sliced crosswise in ¼-inch thick pennies dice larger ends
  • 1 large onion, sliced crosswise in a generous ¼-inch and separated into rings
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 slices bread, torn into small pieces
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon parsley
  • seasoning salt, to taste
  • smoked paprika, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400-degrees F. Tear off four large sections of heavy duty aluminum foil. Set aside.
  • In a bowl, toss together the cubed potatoes and the carrots. Sprinkle with seasoning salt and smoked paprika. Set aside.
  • Put torn bread into large mixing bowl.  Pour milk over bread and let stand until bread has absorbed the milk. To the bread, add the ground beef, egg, Worcestershire sauce, parsley flakes and seasoning salt. Mix well.
  • Divide hamburger mixture into fourths and form each fourth into a patty. Place a hamburger patty into the center of each of the four pieces of foil. Divide the potatoes and carrots evenly into fourths. Place one fourth on top of each hamburger patty. Dot each vegetable mound with a tablespoon of butter. Place a few onion rings randomly on top of the vegetables and butter.
  • Gather two opposite edges of the foil together and fold securely together several times until resting on top of the vegetables. Gather each end together and fold towards vegetables, making a packet for each dinner. Place packets on a large baking sheet and bake at 400-degrees F for 1 hour. 
  • Remove from oven and allow to sit for a few minutes. Carefully unroll the foil edges. WARNING: The contents will be very hot and steam will escape. Be very careful when handling. Place the opened foil packets on a plate for stability.  Eat right out of the foil.
