Ingredients:
Per person:
1 potato, thinly sliced
1 carrot, thinly sliced
1 small onion, thinly sliced
3 ounces lean ground beef (15% fat or less)
2 teaspoons Italian dressing or assorted spices, salt, and pepper

Directions:
1. Use a piece of heavy aluminum foil about a foot square. With shiny side up, put vegetables on foil. 
2. Top with ground beef shaped into a patty. Season with dressing or spices, salt, and pepper.
3. Bring two edges of foil together at top and fold, making two folds. Press edges together and fold it so it will not leak.
