Recipe: Hamburger Meal-in-one (using crackers)

HAMBURGER MEAL-IN-ONE

1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup crushed round butter-flavored crackers (Ritz)
1/4 cup chili sauce
2 large potatoes, thinly sliced
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 (10 3/4 oz.) can condensed cream of mushroom soup

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat four 12x18-inch pieces of aluminum foil with nonstick cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, combine ground beef, cracker crumbs, and chili sauce; mix well. Form into 8 equal-size patties.

Top each piece of foil with equal amounts of potatoes, onion, and bell pepper. Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over the vegetables. Place 2 beef patties on top of each pile of vegetables, and top each with an equal amount of soup. Fold over foil to make packets and seal edges tightly.

Place packets on a large baking sheet and bake 40 to 45 minutes, or until beef is no longer pink and vegetables are tender.

Servings: 4
