- 1 large head broccoli, chopped

Divide the rice, chicken, onions, bell peppers, broccoli, green peas and pineapple between 4 foils. Fold up the sides to create a packet. Drizzle each with teriyaki sauce. If grilling, cook the packets on a pre-heated grill over medium high heat, turning a few times, for 30 minutes. When baking, cook packets on pre-heated oven (400F) for 30 minutes. Allow a few minutes to cool before opening the packets.

- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoons peppered seasoned salt
In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup chopped onions and Worcestershire sauce. Season with 1 teaspoon seasoned salt. Using clean hands, shape mixture into 1-inch thick patties. Prepare 4 pieces of 18×12 inches heavy duty aluminum foil and spray each with cooking spray. Divide potatoes, beef patties, cherry tomatoes, carrots and remaining seasoned salt among 4 foil sheets then fold over sides to seal.
