Mushroom & Swiss Burger Foil Packets

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven or Grill:
    • Oven: 400°F (200°C)
    • Grill: medium-high heat
  2. Prepare the Beef:
    • In a bowl, combine ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
    • Form into 4 patties (or as many as needed).
  3. Prepare Mushroom Mixture:
    • In a skillet or microwave, sauté mushrooms and onions with butter or oil until soft and fragrant. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Assemble Foil Packets:
    • Cut 4 large squares of foil.
    • Place a burger patty in the center of each square.
    • Top each patty with sautéed mushrooms and onions, then a slice of Swiss cheese.
    • Fold the foil over to create a sealed packet.
  5. Cook:
    • Oven: Place foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes until burgers are cooked through.
    • Grill: Place packets on the grill for 15–20 minutes, turning once halfway through.
  6. Serve:
    • Carefully open foil packets (steam will escape!) and serve burgers on their own, in buns, or over a bed of greens.

💡 Tips:

  • Add a slice of tomato or some pickles inside the foil for extra flavor.
  • For juicier burgers, avoid over-packing the beef; keep it lightly formed.
  • Leftover mushroom mixture can be used as a topping for eggs or sandwiches.

If you like, I can also give you a cheesy garlic butter version of these foil packet burgers that’s even more indulgent—perfect for a cozy dinner.

Do you want me to share that version too?
