Ingredients

For the burger packets:
1 lb ground beef (or turkey/chicken for a lighter option)

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1⁄2 teaspoon salt

1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup sliced mushrooms

4 slices Swiss cheese

1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing the foil)

Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

For the foil:
Heavy-duty aluminum foil (enough for 4 packets)

Directions

Prepare the burger patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to combine, then divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.
Prepare the foil: Tear off 4 large pieces of aluminum foil (about 12 inches each). Lightly coat the center of each piece of foil with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Assemble the packets: Place a burger patty in the center of each piece of foil. Top each patty with a generous handful of sliced mushrooms. Then, add a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each patty.
Seal the packets: Fold the sides of the foil over the burger and toppings, then roll the edges to seal the packet completely. Make sure it’s tightly sealed to trap in all the moisture and flavor.
Grill or bake the packets: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or set your oven to 400°F (200°C). If grilling, place the packets on the grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through. If baking, place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.
Check doneness: After 15-20 minutes (grill) or 20-25 minutes (oven), carefully open one packet to check if the burger is fully cooked. If needed, close the packet and cook for a few more minutes.
Serve: Once cooked, remove the foil packets from the grill or oven. Let them cool slightly before carefully unwrapping the foil. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
