AUTHOR’s NOTE

The Dinner That Made Me Like Camping!

I’ve never been much of a camper, but I’ve always been a foodie, so camping never really excited me. I always associated it with food that… well, wasn’t the best. But after agreeing to a family camping trip, I was determined to change that.

Inspired by a reliable hobo foil packets, I created these Sausage and Potato Foil Packs—and let me tell you, they were a total hit! They were so satisfying, I’d even go camping again just to enjoy them fresh off the campfire.

The secret to extra flavor that I discovered on the camping trip? Pack some Tabasco sauce and drizzle it on at the end. It’s irresistibly good!

All the veggies, sausages, and seasonings added to a bowl to toss together.

Ingredients In Sausage And Potato Foil Packs

Smoked sausage: I use turkey sausage; it’s pre-cooked and taste delish!
Onion & bell pepper: Any color of bell pepper works—use your favorite or mix a few!
Baby red potatoes: Cut them small so they cook through fast.
Seasoning: Season well so the veggies and potatoes aren’t bland.
Hot sauce: Pack extra to drizzle on at the end for even more flavor!
Olive oil: Toss everything really well so the oil coats every piece.
Sharp Cheddar cheese: Freshly shredded cheese melts better than bagged.
Chopped cilantro: Add it after cooking so it stays bright and tasty.

Tips For Success

Cook these sausage and potato foil packs on a hot grill (525–550°F). At this heat, they can cook in as little as 15 minutes, depending on your grill and veggie size.
Close the foil packs tight so they don’t leak when you flip them.
Mix the seasoning and oil really well so everything gets coated.
Use strong foil for the grill—it works best. Don’t double-wrap the packs; more foil makes them cook slower.

Storage

Leftover Sausage And Potato Foil Packs?

Let everything cool down first. Put everything in a sealed container and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
To make ahead: Chop the sausage and veggies, mix with seasoning and oil, and keep in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 day. Put together and grill when ready.
