    Ground beef patty with vegetables on plate and foil behind

    Keep the temp inside your house cool by heating up your outdoor grill for dinner! Our foil dinner on the grill is an easy dinner idea. Foil dinners are great for camping in the great outdoors, or even in your backyard. One of the great things is this dinner -- it's as delicious as it is easy.

    How do you make dinner in a foil packet?

    A simple summer dinner idea, making dinner in a foil packet is both fun and tasty. Try putting beef, chicken or fish along with veggies in your aluminum foil packet. Make sure to season it and add a little extra moisture in the form of a marinade or other liquid. Folding down the foil packet seals in the juices and flavors. You'll get a delicious, tender meal.  

    Ground beef and veggie foil dinner

    Our foil dinner on the grill is a healthy summer dinner recipe. It features  ground beef, potatoes, onions, peppers, carrots and green beans. It's slowly cooked in our In Fine Taste Best Hamburger Marinade, which has delightful flavors!

    The very best marinade

    In a medium-sized bowl, make a double recipe of In Fine Taste Best Hamburger Marinade.

    How to flavor the veggies

    Dip each type of vegetable in marinade and lightly shake off excess liquid; then set aside.

    Place ground beef in bowl with remaining marinade. Use clean hands to gently blend marinade into meat. Be careful not to work the meat too much or it will become tough.

    Use a double thickness of foil

    Form ground beef into four equal sized (¼ pound) round patties. Next, spray interior side of 4 pieces of foil with Pam spray. Then lay vegetables in middle of foil. We like to use a double thickness of foil to keep the juices inside.

    Stacking the packet

    Lay the ground beef patty on top of vegetables and lightly sprinkle with garlic salt. Next, make your foil packet: Fold long sides of foil up and together, then turn down edges creating a tent. Continue to fold edges down and fold up short edges of foil to seal. Finally, fold foil packet into a second piece of foil and seal.

    Grill time!

    Place the foil packets on an outdoor grill. (Flip over half way through.) You could also do this in the coals of a campfire, or in your home oven. Remove from grill and cool to warm before serving. The foil will be hot! We like to eat these dinners served with a dollup of barbeque sauce.

    Make a fun plan for dinner this weekend and try our foil dinners on the grill!

    Enjoy!
