Instructions

1
Lay out four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, doubled up for strength.
2
Divide the diced potatoes, chopped onions, and carrots among the four foil sheets.
3
Drizzle each pile of vegetables with olive oil and season with steak seasoning.
4
Place a ground beef patty on top of the vegetables in each packet.
5
Season the patties with more steak seasoning and drizzle with about half of the steak sauce.
6
Fold the foil over the ingredients and seal the edges tightly to create four packets.
7
Place the foil packets on a preheated grill over medium-high heat and cook for about 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the burger is cooked through.
8
Carefully open the packets and top each with shredded cheese and crumbled bacon.
9
Return the open packets to the grill, close the lid, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
10
Remove from the grill, drizzle with the remaining steak sauce, and serve immediately.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Dice potatoes into small, uniform pieces (about ½-inch) so they cook evenly with the ground beef patty in 20-25 minutes.
Fold foil packets tightly with a double seam on top to trap steam and prevent leaks; leave a small air gap for steam circulation.
Place the burger patty on top of vegetables to prevent it from steaming — it needs direct contact with grill heat for browning.
Pre-cook bacon until just crispy before assembly; it will continue to cook inside the packet and won't release excess grease.

Substitutions

Russet potatoes → sweet potatoes (adds sweetness, extends cook time by 5 minutes)
Baby carrots → diced bell peppers or zucchini (softer, reduce cooking time by 5 minutes)
Colby Jack → sharp cheddar or American cheese (no flavor difference in melting)
Steak sauce → Worcestershire sauce or BBQ sauce (1/4 cup; adjusts seasoning profile)

Storage & make-ahead

Store leftover foil packet meals in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes or in a skillet over medium heat.
