Make a complete meal in one foil packet with this easy recipe full of seasoned sausage, peppers and potatoes. This easy dinner is great for grilling at home or prepping ahead and taking along on a camping trip to cook over the coals.

Ingredients

3 medium Yukon Gold or red potatoes (about 1 pound), cut into 1/4 inch slices
3 cups 1-inch bell pepper pieces
4 links cooked chicken sausage (12 ounces), cut into 1/2 inch slices
2 cups sliced onions
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper

Directions

Combine potatoes, peppers, sausage, onions, oil, paprika, thyme, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
Cut 8 pieces of heavy-duty foil, about 12 by 17 inches each. Coat one piece with cooking spray. Place about 2 cups of the potato mixture in the center of the coated foil and enclose like a package. Place seam-side down on a second piece of foil and enclose again so the potato mixture is wrapped in a double-thick packet. Repeat with the remaining foil and potato mixture, making 4 total packets.
Prepare a campfire and let it burn down to the coals. Cook the packets 4 to 6 inches above the coals, turning once or twice, until vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes.

Tips

To make ahead: Store the assembled packets in a refrigerator or cold cooler for up to 1 day.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
