Burgers – as American as baseball and apple pie. Sometimes, nothing can beat a delicious, juicy burger right off of the grill. But what if you are currently “grill-less” like we are, but you’ve just got to have a burger?
Obviously, you can cook burgers other ways besides on a grill, but what a mess! I got tired of cleaning up the greasy mess they left on my stove top; and the counter was a mess when I used my griddle.
So I decided to try something a little bit different and make these burgers in foil packets and cook them in the oven.
They turned out so yummy, and the kids loved having their own little packet! I added onions to the top of my husband’s burger, and I sprinkled shredded cheese on top of the rest of the burgers.

Notes
- Feel free to add whatever you like on your burger before cooking. Some yummy options would be cheese, mushrooms, green peppers, or onion slices.
The thing I love about this recipe is how easy the clean up is! No nasty stove top to clean, and no greasy pans. I just gathered up the foil and threw it in the trash, and Voila! Clean up was done!
We enjoyed these burgers with a simple salad of lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Because I am (mostly) attempting to do Trim Healthy Mama, I enjoy having my burger on my salad instead of on a bun. Do what works for you!
