Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use lean hamburger meat to prevent excess grease in the dish. You can substitute the potatoes with sweet potatoes for added flavor and nutrition. If desired, add spices like garlic powder or paprika to the meat mixture for extra flavor. Make sure to seal the foil tightly to keep moisture in during baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this hearty dish with a fresh tossed salad and a refreshing drink for a complete meal. Consider pairing it with crusty bread or cornbread to soak up the flavors. For a comforting side, try Grandma's Swedish Baked Beans or a simple vegetable medley to round out the dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover hamburger supper in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the foil-wrapped meal in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave individual portions for 2-3 minutes, checking for even heating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use ground turkey instead of hamburger meat?
Yes, ground turkey is a great alternative if you're looking for a leaner option. Just be aware that it may require a little extra seasoning to enhance the flavor, as turkey is milder than beef.
What other vegetables can I add to this dish?
You can add bell peppers, carrots, or zucchini for added nutrition and flavor. Just slice them thinly so they cook evenly with the potatoes and onions during baking.
How can I make this dish spicier?
To add heat, consider mixing in diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes into the hamburger mixture. You could also top the dish with your favorite hot sauce before serving for an extra kick.
