BBQ Cheeseburger Foil Packets
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 24 oz bag baby potatoes quartered
- 1 onion chopped
- 1/2 bag baby carrots sliced
- Olive oil
- 1 tsp each salt, pepper, dry mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika
- 4 (1/4 lb) burger patties
- BBQ sauce
- 1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
- 4 pieces of bacon (cooked and crumbled) OR bacon bits
- 1/3 cup French's crispy fried onions
- Aluminum Foil
Instructions
- If you don't have any leftover bacon from breakfast, cook your bacon however you like! If you don't want to cook bacon you could also just use bacon bits!
- Chop an onion, slice the baby carrots in half, and quarter a bag of baby potatoes.
- Lay out a couple of pieces of aluminum foil. Spray the foil with cooking spray. Add a handful of potatoes, a handful of onion and some baby carrots. Drizzle a little bit of olive oil over the veggies. Season with a little bit of the seasoning blend.
- Top with a burger patty and season with a little bit more seasoning. Top the burger with a drizzle of BBQ Sauce.
- Wrap aluminum foil up tightly. Repeat until all 4 foil packets are assembled.
- Heat a grill over medium heat. Place foil packets on the grill and cook for about 25 minutes or until the ground beef is fully cooked and the veggies are tender.
- Carefully open the foil packet and add some shredded Colby Jack cheese, bacon, and fried onions. Place back on the grill to melt the cheese if needed. Enjoy!
Notes
See my Frequently Asked Questions section for more tips!
- The seasoning blend, carrots, onions, and burger patties can all be prepped ahead of time. I would wait to cut potatoes until right before making the foil packets.
- Be sure to cut the potatoes into quarters, so they cook properly.
- Slicing the carrots in half lengthwise will help ensure they are tender.
- Any BBQ sauce your family likes can be used in this recipe. If you aren't a fan of BBQ sauce these are also good with steak sauce!
- I like my homemade blend for burger seasoning, but if you have a Burger Blend already in your spice cabinet you can use that instead.
- All grills cook differently. I recommend checking the beef and veggies around 20 minutes and grilling them for an additional 5-10 minutes if they are not done. Beef should be cooked to 165 degrees F with an internal meat thermometer.
- Be sure to wrap the foil packets up tightly in aluminum foil. This is key to getting the veggies tender.
