Ingredients

For the main dish

• 1 pound ground beef (or turkey for a leaner option)
• 2 tablespoons A1 sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper (adjust to taste)
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 2-3 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
• Aluminum foil for wrapping

Instructions

1. Prepare the patties: In a bowl, mix the ground beef with A1 sauce, salt, and pepper until well combined. Shape into large hamburger patties.

   🍽️ Don't overwork the meat to keep the patties tender. A gentle hand goes a long way!

2. Layer your dish: Place the patties on a piece of aluminum foil. Top with thinly sliced onions and layer the potato slices on top of the meat.

   🥔 Using a mandoline for slicing can save time and ensure even slices, promoting even cooking!

3. Season the layers: Sprinkle a bit more salt and pepper over the top of the potatoes.

4. Seal and bake: Wrap the foil tightly around the mixture, creating a sealed packet, and place it on a baking sheet. Bake at 450°F for 30 minutes.

   ⏰ The foil helps steam the dinner, keeping it moist and flavorful.

5. Serve and enjoy: Carefully unwrap the foil (watch out for steam!) and serve hot.

Tips for Success

• Make-ahead: Prepare the packets in advance and refrigerate them until ready to bake. This is a great time-saver!
• Add veggies: Feel free to toss in sliced carrots or bell peppers for added color and nutrition.
• Cheesy delight: For a cheesy twist, add shredded cheese on top of the meat before closing the foil.

Variations

• Spicy kick: Add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the meat mixture for extra heat! 🌶️
• Herb-infused: Sprinkle some dried herbs such as thyme or rosemary over the layers for an aromatic touch.
• Vegetarian option: Substitute the hamburger with a plant-based meat alternative and enjoy the same delicious layers!

Enjoy this comforting dish that feels like home-cooked goodness!
