Ingredients
Scale
For the Foil Packets:
- 12 oz smoked sausage or kielbasa (sliced into rounds)
- 2 bell peppers (any color, sliced)
- 1 small red onion (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the grill to medium heat or the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss together the sausage, bell peppers, onion, olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Assemble Foil Packets: Tear four large sheets of heavy-duty foil and divide the mixture evenly among them. Fold the foil over the ingredients and crimp the edges to seal tightly, creating a packet.
- Cook: Place packets on the grill or a baking sheet in the oven. Cook for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through if grilling, until vegetables are tender and sausage is heated through.
- Add Cheese: Carefully open each packet and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Reseal loosely and let sit for 2–3 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley before serving if desired.
Notes
- Use spicy sausage for extra heat or add sliced mushrooms for more veggies.
- These packets can be prepped ahead and stored in the fridge until ready to cook.
