\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83c\udf3e Step-by-Step Culinary Preparation Guide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u200bFollow this simple 4-step baking guide to chop, layer, seal, and serve your cheesy beef patty foil packets, exactly as demonstrated in the featured step-by-step prep photograph \ud83e\udd69\u2728!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200bStep 1: Prepare the Ingredients and Foil Sheets \ud83e\udd54\u2728<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. \u200bPreheat your oven to 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C) and tear off 4 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (about 12×18 inches each).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. \u200bHalve 1 lb of washed baby yellow potatoes and slice 1 red onion into thick half-moons.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. \u200bIn a bowl, toss the halved potatoes, baby carrots, and sliced red onions with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, black pepper, and half of the dry onion soup mix packet (as shown in the upper-left ingredient layout).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. \u200bDivide 1.5 lbs of lean ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into thick, rounded patties. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and the remaining onion soup mix.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    \u200bStep 2: Layer and Build the Packets \ud83e\udd69\ud83e\udd55<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. \u200bLay the foil sheets flat on your counter or cutting board.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. \u200bArrange a layer of seasoned potatoes, baby carrots, and red onion slices in the center of each foil sheet to form a sturdy vegetable bed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. \u200bPlace one thick, seasoned beef patty directly on top of the vegetable bed in each packet (as clearly illustrated in the upper-right assembly photo).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. \u200bChef’s Secret:<\/em> Placing the beef patty on top of the root vegetables allows the savory juices from the meat to drip down during roasting, keeping the potatoes moist and flavorful!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      \u200bStep 3: Seal and Bake to Perfection \ud83e\udd69\ud83d\udd25<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. \u200bBring the long edges of the foil sheet together over the center, folding them down tightly to create a sealed seam.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. \u200bFold the side edges inward twice to construct a completely enclosed foil pouch that locks in steam.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. \u200bArrange the 4 foil packets side-by-side on a large rimmed baking sheet (as shown in the lower-left tray photo).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. \u200bBake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes<\/strong>, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the beef patties reach an internal temperature of 160\u00b0F (71\u00b0C).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        \u200bStep 4: Add Cheese, Melt, and Serve \ud83c\udf7d\ufe0f\u2728<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. \u200bCarefully open the top seams of the foil packets (watch out for hot escaping steam!).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. \u200bPlace one slice of sharp cheddar cheese over each hot beef patty.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. \u200bReturn the open packets to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes<\/strong> until the cheddar cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and draping over the meat and vegetables.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        4. \u200bCarefully transfer the contents of each foil boat onto serving plates (or eat directly from the foil!), garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and enjoy hot (as displayed in the lower-right photo)!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
