Description
A flavorful and smoky grilled cheeseburger experience made in foil packets for the campfire. Perfect for outdoor cooking, it delivers a deliciously juicy beef patty with melted cheese, caramelized onions, and savory depth. No grill? No problem!
Ingredients
80% lean ground beef – 10 oz
Liquid smoke (applewood flavor) – 1 tbsp
Granulated garlic – 1 teaspoon
Shredded cheddar cheese – 4 oz
Red onion slices, thin – 1 small onion
Butter – 1 tbsp
Dried rosemary – ½ teaspoon
Salt – to taste
Black pepper – to taste
Aluminum foil sheets – 8×8 inches each, 4 total
Instructions
Preheat a campfire or grill to medium-high heat.
On each 8×8 inch aluminum foil sheet, place 2.5 oz of ground beef and shape into a patty.
Top each patty with a handful of shredded cheddar cheese, red onion slices, butter, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Drizzle liquid smoke and granulated garlic over the top of each patty.
Carefully fold the foil pack to seal tightly, leaving a little room for steam to circulate.
Place the foil packets directly over the fire or grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, flipping once to ensure even cooking.
Once the edges of the foil turn golden and crispy, remove from heat and let rest for 3-5 minutes before opening.
Notes
For optimal results, pre-season the beef with a light sprinkle of salt and pepper before adding toppings.
Use a thicker foil sheet to avoid tearing during cooking.
Leftover packets can be stored sealed in a cooler and reheated over a fire.
To boost flavor, add a pinch of paprika or ground cumin to the beef before shaping.
