   We throw in carrots and a lump of ground beef too. Pour ketchup or A1 all over it when cooked. Yum!

  That’s what we do, too! (Really we throw in whatever veggies and meat we have on hand.) Call ’em hobo dinners.

   I also put green beans w garlic and olive oil or other seasonings in foil on the grill… easy clean up, doesn’t hear up the house and tastes great!

  It depends on if they r fresh or frozen and how many…. I probably do 15 min or so… I shake the pack once in awhile to stir it all up…

   We do these year round in the oven. One recipe we do is ranch with bacon bits and the other you can do Italian dressing with grated Parmesan cheese. super easy and yummy.

   You could probably do this in the oven as well if you don’t have a grill like me, lol.

    We do kielbasa with mushrooms, zucchini, onions and Italian dressing. It’s a family favorite!

    We do these all the time on the grill or when camping. I’ve also added bacon bits should we have a few leftover strips of bacon from breakfast. Carrots or green beans are tasty as well.

    Love this. I usually add squash zucchini carrots and mushrooms and a little bacon salt and olive oil. Onions and potatoes on bottom for a carmelized

    Thanks for posting this. Used to make versions of these often in the oven or on the grill, depending on the season. S

    I make this minus the olive oil and lay the foil packets on top of meat in broth inside a crockpot – if you can’t grill. I sometimes add those already peeled carrots with the potatoes. Cook for as long as you cook the meat.

    We’ve been doing this for years, only we slice the potatoes and put shredded cheese on top. We’ll have to try the chunks next time!

    We also do this with whatever veggies and seasonings are on hand. If available, we also add a couple of ice cubes to steam from the inside and keep the starches and sugars in the veggies from scorching.

    Are you guys peeling the potatoes or just cutting?

  If you are using the golden potatoes or regular white potatoes those skins are thin and you shouldn’t have to peel, to me that is as good as the meat of the potato:)

    Could you use frozen cubed hash browns? If so how long do you think they would have to cook?

    I make these a lot. Sometime I add granulated beef bouillon cubes. If you use vadalia onion, sliced with one beef booullion, a little butter and olive oil. (No salt). Grill in packet. Tastes almost like onion soup. Pile it on the burger or mix with the potatoes. Yum.
