Decided to take the low maintenance route for dinner, and use a bunch of stuff from the garden and potted plants out back for dinner last nite. Had two leftover patties leftover from a cheat-attempt two nites before to use up as well - I'll never buy them again. I much prefer home-formed hamburgers - the ones from the store were too dense and didn't have very good flavor. Anyhow, sprayed two large sheets of heavy duty
And then things differed. Brett's packet got the one baby carrot I'd pulled, stemmed and cleaned. Mine got sliced okra, sliced zucchini, sliced yellow squash and dragon tongue beans snipped into about 1/2 inch pieces. Then I topped both of our piles with torn basil, a pat of butter, a sprinkle of salt, and a glug of white wine. Folded 'em up, assured they were sealed, and baked at 400F for an hour.
Talk about bland! I'm wondering if I should've sprinkled in some beef bouillon? More salt throughout the middle? I don't know. I really had high hopes for these! And I should've tossed in some of those orange SunGold cherry tomatoes you see peeking out of the bowl in the pictures. The tough of red behind the parlsey is raspberries - those didn't get added. Neither did the freshly cut dahlias.
Sure makes for a pretty picture! Just not a very tastey dinner! :(

A little boullion would have helped,b ut you would have been better off doing the veggies in the packets and doing the ground beef in a pan.
There's not a heck of a lot of flavor in ground beef to start with and steaming it isn't going to bring anything to the party.
Sory dinner didn't live up to your expectations. :-(
