cut 4 (12") pieces of heavy duty aluminum foil.
Place equal portions of onion slices on each piece of foil.
In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup water and ground beef; Mix well.
Shape 4 hamburger patties and set 1 patty on top of the onions on each piece of foil.
Arrange potato and carrot slices on top of each patty.
Seasopn with salt, pepper, garlic salt and seasoned salt to taste.
Dot with butter if desired.
Wrap foil in a tent pack, place on medium coals for 20-25 minutes, moving/turning once during cooking.
1) You can substitute 1 bag of mixed frozen vegetables or 1 can of drained vegetables for the fresh potatoes and carrots. If you use this method, place a few pats of butter on top before sealing the pouch.
2) For a flavorful kick, substitute Creole spices for the salt & pepper.
3) Season the ground beef patties with Worcestershire, A1, or BBQ sauce or cream of mushroom soup or Italian dressing when making the patties.
4) Before assembling the foil packs, place 1 cabbage leaf on top of each square of foil. Omit the water in the ground beef when making the patties. After cooking the patties & veggies on top of the cabbage leaf, discard the cabbage leaf.
5) Substitute ground turkey for the ground beef. If you do this I recommend seasoning the patties with a sauce.
