Cheddar Burger Veggie Packets

By Linda Larsen, About.com

This delicious one dish meal is so easy, cooked on the grill. You can make the packets up to 24 hours ahead of time, as long as they are thoroughly wrapped and refrigerated. Increase cooking time by 10-15 minutes.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1-1/2 cups baby carrots
  • 1 lb. extra-lean ground beef
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup minced onion
  • 2 Tbsp. steak sauce
  • 1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
  • 1/8 tsp. pepper
  • 2 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 2 yellow summer squash, sliced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp. seasoned salt
  • 1/8 tsp. pepper
  • 1/4 cup steak sauce

Preparation:

Prepare and heat grill. Spray nonstick cooking spray on half of one side of four 18x12" sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil. Bring a small pot of water to a boil, and cook carrots for 3 minutes.

Mix beef, cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, minced onion, steak sauce, 1/2 tsp. seasoned salt and 1/8 tsp. pepper in medium bowl. Form into 4 patties, each about 1" thick.

Place potatoes on prepared side of foil sheets. Top with beef patty, drained carrots, summer squash slices, tomatoes, and green bell pepper. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp. seasoned salt and 1/8 tsp. pepper and top each with a tablespoon of steak sauce.

Fold foil over food so edges meet and fold to seal, making a 1/2" fold; fold again. Make sure to allow space on sides for expansion; don't fold the foil tightly around the food.

Grill packets 6" from medium coals for about 20-25 minutes, rearranging and turning often, or until potatoes are tender and beef is thoroughly cooked.

You can also bake the packets in a preheated 450 degrees F oven for 20-30 minutes until done. 4 servings
