Dinner Without the Dishes? Yes, Please!
I’m totally hooked on tin foil dinners right now—so expect a bunch more recipes soon! This obsession isn’t anything new though.
My mom used to make them all the time—over a campfire when we were camping or in the oven when it was snowing. We loved them as kids!
Now I get why she made them so often—they’re super straightforward to throw together, cleanup is a straightforward, and kids love having their own little food packets. And honestly? It is satisfying to them just as much as an adult!
Tin Foil Sausage and Veggies Ingredients
- Smoked Sausage: Any kind works—try chicken, turkey, beef, or pork.
- Red Potatoes: Yukon golds are also great. No need to peel.
- Fresh Corn: Use sweet corn. Be careful when cutting.
- Yellow Onion: Chop it up small so it softens and adds flavor.
- Red Bell Pepper: Any color is fine, but green isn’t as sweet.
- Zucchini: Slice into thick rounds so it doesn’t get too soft.
- Olive Oil: Toss everything with oil so it cooks evenly and tastes great.
- Seasoning: Use your favorite simple mix. Add more salt and pepper at the end if it needs it.

How To Make Tin Foil Sausage And Veggies
The full recipe is below but here are some tips while you make it!
- Prep: Use a towel over the knife to safely press down when cutting the corn.
- Toss together: Don’t forget salt and pepper—I usually start with ¾ tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper.
- Build foil packs: Use heavy duty foil. Fully seal each pack, but leave room for steam.
- Cook your way: At 35 minutes, the veggies are tender but not mushy—a reliable!
- Enjoy: Serve with honey mustard or your favorite dipping sauce for extra flavor.
