Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables frozen or fresh
  • 4 medium potatoes diced
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for drizzling
  • 1 tsp salt to taste

Preparation
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat or the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, mixed vegetables, diced potatoes, ranch dressing mix, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Cut four large pieces of aluminum foil, about 12 inches long. Place an equal amount of the beef mixture in the center of each piece of foil.
  4. Fold the sides of the foil over the mixture and seal tightly to form packets.
Cooking
