Campfire Cajun Sausage and Pepper Foil Packs

Ingredients

• 13 ounces smoked, fully-cooked beef sausage, cut into 1/2 inch slices
• 1 pound baby red potatoes, quartered
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced into 1 inch strips
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced into 1 inch strips
• 1 medium while onion, sliced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
• Heavy-duty foil

Instructions

1. Add red potatoes, bell peppers, and onion to a medium-size bowl. Toss vegetable mixture in olive oil, garlic, and Cajun seasoning.
2. Place an 18 x 12 inch sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil on a flat surface. Add 1/4 of the vegetable mixture to the center of the foil. Top vegetables with 1/4 of the sliced sausage (approximately 1 link each). Fold right and left edges in and roll together to close. Fold top and bottom edges in and roll to close the package. Repeat with remaining mixture for a total of 4 packets. (If cooking on a campfire, wrap foil packs with a second layer of foil to prevent bursting)

Campfire Instructions

1. Build and start a fire inside a fire ring or other metal structure.
2. Place a grate over the fire, directly above the flame.
3. Place foil packs on hot grate with tongs.
4. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through until potatoes are fork-tender and sausage is warmed through.

Oven Instructions

1. Heat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Place foil packs on a baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender and sausage is warmed through.
