Here is a recipe for you that requires no pots and pans! I'm telling ya, this is MY kind of meal!

Cheesy Burger Veggie Packets
1lb lean ground beef
3/4 tsp seasoned salt
1/4 tsp pepper
4 cups frozen hash brown potatoes
1 bag (24oz) Green Giant frozen broccoli, carrots, cauliflower & cheese-flavored sauce


1) Pre-heat your outside grill. Cut 4 sheets of heavy duty foil; spray center of each with cooking spray. In large bowl, mix ground beef, seasoned salt and pepper. Shape mixture into 4 patties, 1/2 inch thick. 


2) In center of each sheet of foil, place 1 cup potatoes, 1/4 of the veggies and cheese sauce chips and 1 beef patty. Wrap each packet securely using  double-fold seals, allowing room for heat expansion.


3) Place packets, sealed side down, on grill; cover grill. Cook with med heat 10 minutes. Turn packets over; cook covered 15-18 minutes longer or until cooked thru and veggies are tender.


4 To serve, carefully open packets to allow steam to escape. Stir to mix in cheese sauce.

Sorta Salisbury Steak

I was going to try out a recipe in a Kraft magazine for Salisbury Steak but didn't have any mushrooms so I decided to get creative and mix it up. Turned out pretty good. Served them with some mashed potatoes.
