Camping Foil Packet Sausage and Peppers
Prep: 10 min
Cook: 25 min
Serves: 4
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

  • •2 units bell peppers
  • •1 unit onion
  • •8 cloves garlic
  • •4 tablespoons pizza sauce
  • •2 tablespoons olive oil
  • •1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • •¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • •1 package Italian sausages

Equipment

  • • grill
  • • heavy-duty aluminum foil
  • • bowl

Instructions

  1. 1In a medium bowl, combine the sliced peppers, sliced onion, smashed garlic, pizza sauce, olive oil, seasoning, and salt. Toss to evenly coat the vegetables.
  2. 2Tear off 4 sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (10-12 inches long). If using regular foil, double-layer for extra strength.
  3. 3Place the foil on a flat surface. Divide the vegetables and sauce between the packets to create a bed for the sausages.
  4. 4Divide the sausages between the packets, placing them on top of the vegetables. Slice large sausages into 2-inch pieces if desired.
  5. 5Top the packets with the remaining sheets of foil, folding down in ½-inch folds to create a tight seal, leaving room for steam.
  6. 6Place the packet on a grill grate over medium coals or embers. Cook for about 25 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
  7. 7Open one corner of the packet and check that sausages have reached 160°F and vegetables are tender.
  8. 8Let cool for 2-3 minutes before fully opening, then serve & enjoy!

Camp tips

  • • Use heat-resistant gloves to manipulate foil packets.
  • • Use heavy-duty foil or double layer regular foil to prevent tears.
  • • Create a 'handle' by leaving extra foil on the sides for easy flipping.
  • • Check for doneness carefully to avoid steam burns.
