We enjoyed this meal. We made it in the oven, cooked it at 350. Our total cooking time was close to 50 minutes. We measured our ground beef (we used 85%) into 1/2 pound portions, then shaped it into patties using our Tupperware Burger Press. We cut up extra vegetables than the recipe called for because we really like them. We used a mandoline to get our potato slices nice and thin. Once they were cut we put them in a bowl and covered them with water to prevent browning. We sliced our carrots to the same thickness using a knife. We used 1 large onion sliced. We laid out the foil, sprayed it with cooking spray, put 1 beef patty on each sheet of foil then seasoned with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Topped the patty with onions, potatoes (drained), carrots and butter. Seasoned again before sealing foil packets. A couple of packets were stuffed pretty full and had to be sealed with a 2nd sheet of foil. My husband and I ate the beef patty on a hamburger bun with cheese. Our niece cut her patty up and dipped the bites in ketchup. Thanks for the recipe!

Now, this was a strange one. First off, I didn't add the carrot as I don't eat carrots, but I did add some herbs. It doesn't look very appealing, as it's quite plain looking, which is deceptive as it is really tasty. We decided we really like it and would certainly love to try it as a campfire meal, as the smokey flavour can only add to it. The garlic makes it a winner. Certainly worth trying again and I recommend it highly! Reviewed for Photo Swap 08
