- Divide the diced potatoes and onions evenly onto each foil sheet.
- Top the potatoes and onions with the beef mixture, spreading it evenly.
- Fold the foil over and seal tightly to create packets.
Cooking
- Place the packets on the grill and cook for about 20–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the potatoes are tender and beef is cooked through.
