Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 medium-sized potatoes, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
4 hamburger buns
Fresh lettuce and tomato slices for serving
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, then form into 4 equal patties.
In another bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, Italian herbs, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Cut four large pieces of aluminum foil (about 12×12 inches). Place a quarter of the potatoes in the center of each piece of foil.
Top each portion of potatoes with a burger patty and a quarter of the sliced mushrooms. Fold the foil over to create a sealed packet.
Place the foil packets on the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness and the potatoes are tender.
In the last 5 minutes of cooking, carefully open the packets and sprinkle the Swiss cheese on top of each burger. Close the packets again to allow the cheese to melt.
Remove the packets from the grill and let them sit for a few minutes before carefully opening. Serve the burgers on buns with fresh lettuce and tomato slices.
Notes
For a lighter option, substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef and use low-fat cheese.
Add your favorite toppings such as pickles, onions, or barbecue sauce to the burgers before serving for extra flavor.
