Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 pound baby potatoes cut in half
3 sliced large carrots sliced into one inch cubes
½ sliced onion
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese

Instructions

Cut four sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil. In a medium-sized bowl, toss together 1 pound baby potatoes cut in half, 3 sliced large carrots, ½ sliced onion, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning. Divide evenly between the four packets.
Combine 1 pound lean ground beef, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, and salt and pepper. Shape into four patties and place them on top of the vegetables. Fold the foil over and seal each packet.
Place the packets on the grill or over the coals of a fire. Cook for about 30-45 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Carefully open the foil packets and top with 1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese.
