BBQ Ranch Ground Beef Foil Packets
Juicy ground beef seasoned with smoky BBQ and creamy ranch flavors, all tucked into a foil packet with potatoes, corn, and melty cheese. These foil packets are easy to prep, packed with flavor, and perfect for the grill, oven, or campfire.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce your favorite kind
- 2 tbsp ranch seasoning mix
- 2 cups baby potatoes halved or quartered
- 1 cup corn frozen or canned, drained
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil for drizzling
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley or green onions optional, for garnish
- 4 large sheets of aluminum foil
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium heat or oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Tear out 4 large sheets of foil. Lightly oil or spray the center of each to prevent sticking.
- In a bowl, combine ground beef, BBQ sauce, ranch seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix gently—don’t overwork it.
- Place a portion of potatoes and corn in the center of each foil sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season lightly.
- Shape the beef mixture into 4 thick patties and place one over each veggie mix.
- Fold and seal foil tightly around the contents, creating a secure packet.
- Grill packets for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Or bake in the oven for 20–25 minutes, until potatoes are tender and beef is cooked through.
- Carefully open each packet, sprinkle cheddar cheese over the beef, and loosely reseal.
- Cook 3–5 more minutes until the cheese melts.
- Garnish with parsley or green onions if desired. Serve hot—right from the foil or on a plate!
