Ingredients

2 large potatoes (scrubbed, eyes removed, sliced)

1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey, lean, rinsed and drained)

2 large carrots (scrubbed and sliced)

1 large onion (peeled and sliced)

1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix 1/2 teaspoon salt into ground beef. Shape meat into 4 flat patties about the size of the palm of your hand. 
  2. Lay each patty on a piece of foil about 15 inches long. Wash hands carefully after handling raw meat. 
  3. Top each patty with slices of potato, onion, and carrots.
  4. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings if desired. 
  5. Wrap each pile in foil and seal tightly. Place on cookie sheet if desired.
  6. Bake for 1 hour. 
  7. Carefully remove very hot packages from oven onto serving plate. Puncture foil to release steam. Cool for several minutes before unwrapping. Before serving, be sure beef is thoroughly cooked. The beef should not be pink and juices should be clear.
  8. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours of cooking.
