Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef or halal sausage Feel free to replace with ground chicken or turkey.
  • 2 medium potatoes, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
Seasoning and Oil
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 Aluminum foil For wrapping the ingredients.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if you’re not using a grill.
  2. Tear off large sheets of aluminum foil, about 12 inches in length. Use enough to wrap the ingredients securely.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef or halal sausage with the diced potatoes, sliced carrots, onion, and bell pepper. Drizzle in the olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and mix well.
Cooking
  1. Place a generous amount of the mixture in the center of each foil sheet. Fold the sides of the foil over the ingredients, then fold the ends to create a sealed pack.
  2. Place the foil packets on a baking sheet or directly on the grill. Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes or grill for approximately 20-25 minutes until everything is cooked through.
  3. Carefully open the packets (watch out for steam!) and serve hot. Enjoy with your favorite toppings!

Notes

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 15 minutes or microwave for 3-4 minutes.
