Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
I prefer 80/20
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 lb. baby potatoes
cubed
- 1 lb. mushrooms
quartered
- 1 yellow or red onion
thickly sliced
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon parsley
- Salt and pepper
- KRAFT Heinz Simply Ketchup
- Miracle Whip
- Lettuce
- Tomato
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
or cheese of your choice
Directions
- 1
Preheat the grill to 400 degrees. *See notes for campfire and oven directions.* Cut four strips of heavy duty aluminum foil about 2 ft long.
- 2
Add the beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce to a bowl. Use your fingers to gently work the seasonings into the beef. Form into four patties.
- 3
Combine the potatoes, mushrooms, and onions with the olive oil and garlic powder, paprika, oregano, and parsley. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- 4
If you're making these on the campfire, lay a cabbage leaf on the bottom of each strip of foil before adding the veggies. Otherwise, layer the packets with veggies first and the burger patty on top.
- 5
Bring the two short sides together and fold them down to seal. Fold/roll up the remaining two sides.
- 6
Place directly on the grill grates, cover and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the burger registers 165 degrees.
- 7
Carefully (really carefully--the steam can be very hot!), unwrap the packets. If desired, place a slice of cheese on top of each burger. Loosely roll back up and allow the cheese to melt for a few minutes. Top the burgers with Miracle Whip or Heinz Simply Ketchup plus your favorite toppings and serve.
