Ingredients

For the Hamburger Steaks

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
• 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs, optional

For the Vegetables

• 1 pound baby potatoes, halved or quartered
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 1 cup carrots, sliced
• 1 cup green beans or another vegetable of your choice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional Additions

• Shredded cheddar cheese
• Mushroom slices
• Fresh parsley
• A spoonful of beef gravy
• A small pat of butter for each packet

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Oven or Grill

If using an oven, preheat it to 425°F (220°C).

For grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Make sure your cooking surface is clean and ready before assembling the foil packets.

Step 2: Prepare the Hamburger Steaks

Place the ground beef in a large mixing bowl. Add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, chopped onion, and breadcrumbs if using.

Gently mix everything together with your hands until the seasonings are evenly distributed. Avoid overmixing, because working the beef too much can make the patties dense.

Divide the mixture into four portions and shape each portion into a thick oval or round patty. Keep the patties slightly thick so they remain juicy while cooking.

Step 3: Prepare the Vegetables

Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into small, similarly sized pieces. Smaller pieces cook more quickly and evenly than large chunks.

Place the potatoes, sliced onion, carrots, and green beans in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil or melted butter and season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Toss everything until the vegetables are lightly coated.
