Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 2 large Yukon Gold potatoes (chopped into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1 large green bell pepper (chopped into bite-sized pieces)
  • 6 slices Provolone cheese

Vegetables and Aromatics:

  • ½ cup yellow onion (diced)
  • 1 cup brown mushrooms (thinly sliced)
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Liquids and Seasonings:

  • 3 tablespoons (44 milliliters) olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) ketchup

Instructions

  1. Craft four generously sized aluminum envelopes using heavy-duty foil, ensuring each sheet measures approximately two feet long and receives a delicate coating of cooking spray.
  2. Slice potatoes, green peppers, onions, and mushrooms into uniform pieces, transferring them into a spacious mixing vessel.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the vegetable medley, seasoning with salt and pepper, then massage thoroughly to guarantee even distribution of flavors.
  4. In the same mixing container, incorporate ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and an aromatic blend of spices including paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, and Italian herbs.
  5. Carefully distribute the vegetable mixture across each foil packet, creating an even landscape of colorful ingredients.
  6. Gently crumble seasoned meat over the vegetable foundation, ensuring balanced coverage within each packet.
  7. Seal the foil packets meticulously, allowing minimal breathing space for internal steam circulation.
  8. For grill preparation, position packets directly on heated grates, cooking approximately 10 minutes per side until vegetables reach desired tenderness.
  9. Alternatively, oven method requires placement on a large sheet pan, baking between 28-38 minutes.
  10. Delicately unfurl packet edges, drape Provolone cheese slices across the surface, and return to heat momentarily to achieve perfect cheese melting.
  11. Serve immediately, presenting these flavor-packed Philly Cheesesteak Foil Packs directly from their aromatic aluminum vessels.
