1

Cut four 18x12-inch sheets of nonstick aluminum foil.
2

Mix beef with salt and pepper. Shape into four patties, about 1/2-inch thick. Place 1 patty in the center of each foil sheet.
3

Top each with 1/4 cup chili, fries and 2 tablespoons of cheese.
4

Bring up 2 sides of the foil so the edges meet. Fold together tightly at the top, creating a loose tent above the burger.
5

Fold other sides to seal. Place packets on a cookie sheet.
6

To BAKE: Heat oven to 450°F. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of patties reads 160°F.
7

To GRILL: Place packets on a grill over medium heat. Cook 8 minutes, rotate packets then cook 7 to 9 minutes longer, or until patties are no longer pink in the center.
8

Place packets on plates. To serve, cut a large “X” across top of each packet; carefully fold back foil. Top each patty with 2 tablespoons of cheese. Garnish with green onions.
