Brings back memories of camping when I was a kid. Everybody got to create their own packet. We cooked them in the campfire, but a grill or the oven works just as good.

Directions

Preheat grill to medium-high heat or oven to 400 degrees. Take 4 rectangles of aluminum foil, large enough to create individual packets. Shape the ground beef into patties and place one on each piece of foil. Layer the vegetables on top. Season with salt and pepper and top with a pat of butter. Fold foil and seal edges. Bake for 45 minutes or until desired doneness.

Boiled Dinner with Three Meats

Although this old-fashioned dinner takes hours to cook, the preparation time is minimal. It works very well to prepare the meat a day or two ahead of time, adding the vegetables just before serving. This is a great way to use economical cuts of meat. Don't be misled by the name, though - the meat should never actually be boiled, just simmered.
