Ingredients

  • 14 ounce smoked sausage turkey, beef, chicken, or pork smoked sausage, cut into coins
  • 24 ounces Baby Dutch Yellow potatoes thinly sliced (or Yukon Gold)
  • 3-4 carrots peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 Italian Dressing Seasoning Packet
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into tablespoons
  • Fresh Parsley for garnish

Instructions

Preheat for Cooking:

  • Oven: Preheat to 400°F.
  • Grill: Preheat to medium-high heat (425-450°F).
  • Fire: Start fire or coals to allow it to heat and create a good cooking environment.

Prep the Foil:

  • Tear off four sheets of heavy-duty foil, approximately 24 inches long each, and lightly coat them with cooking spray.

Prep the Sausage and Veggies:

  • Cut the sausage into coins. Cut the carrots into coins. Cut the onion into thin strips. Then, thinly slice the potatoes, so they will cook evenly with the carrots and onions.

Season the Ingredients:

  • In a large bowl, combine the sausage, potatoes, carrots, onions, olive oil, Italian seasoning dressing packet, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.

Assemble the Foil Packs:

  • Divide the mixture evenly among the four foil sheets. Add 1 tablespoon of butter on top of each foil pack. Seal each packet tightly. Only double wrap of cooking in a campfire.

Cook the Foil Packs:

  • Oven: Place foil packs on a sheet pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
  • Grill: Cook for 30 minutes, until the vegetables are tender, flipping halfway through.
  • Campfire: Cook in the hot coals of the fire for 20-40 minutes, flipping packets regularly throughout the cook time.

Serve:

  • Carefully open the foil packs, avoiding being burnt by the steam. Garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy.

Notes

Do not use a raw sausage, as it will not cook in time with this method. A smoked sausage is best, or kielbasa.
