Fix It In Foil Cookbook

Made camping at Muskie campground June 2022.
These can be made ahead and frozen individually.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. lean ground beef
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ c. freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • ¼ c. onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 t. dried basil
  • ½ t. dried oregano
  • ½ t. dried rosemary
  • ¼ t. fennel seeds
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese
  • 4 buns or bun toppers
  • ¼ to ½ c. prepared pizza sauce (Pastorelli)

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, egg, parmesan cheese, onion, basil, oregano, rosemary, fennel seeds, salt and pepper.

Shape mixture into 4 equal sized patties, about ¼-inch thick. I freeze ahead of time (indivdually wrap); they tend to grill better.

GRILL:: Preheat grill to medium heat. Cook over direct heat, close lid and grill for 8-10 minutes, or until meat is fully cooked.

Just before patties are done cooking, toast buns on grill.

After grilling and patties are cooked through, turn off grill. Top each patty with about a tablespoon (or more) of pizza sauce, add a slice of cheese and close lid of grill until cheese melts.

Transfer patties to tasted buns and enjoy.

NOTE: Makes 4

You can make ahead and freeze. Grill frozen, don't thaw.
