Grilled Pork Sausage & Cheesy Veggie Packets Foil packet meals for the campfire or grill

Whether you’re cooking over a campfire or firing up the grill, our Italian pork sausages with cheesy veggies are a breeze to prep. You’ll fold up foil pouches packed with a colorful medley of broccoli, bell pepper, sweet potatoes, and onion topped with tangy marinara sauce and easy-melting mozzarella, grill them right alongside the sausages, then finish your dish with a drizzle of tangy-sweet balsamic glaze for the perfect balance.

Instructions

4 steps
  1. 1

    Preheat a well-oiled grill to medium-high heat. Wash and dry produce.

    Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper into strips. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Dice sweet potatoes into 1⁄2-inch pieces.

    OVEN ALTERNATIVE: Adjust racks to top and middle positions; preheat oven to 450 degrees.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, toss broccoli, bell pepper, onion, and sweet potatoes with oregano, garlic powder, a large drizzle of oil, a big pinch of salt, and pepper.

    Cut two 18-inch-long pieces of foil (four pieces of foil for 4 servings); arrange on a work surface. TIP: Coat foil with nonstick cooking spray to prevent the cheese from sticking.

    Dividing evenly, arrange veggies in the center of foil pieces. Spoon marinara on top and sprinkle with mozzarella. Fold foil over veggies, then cinch into packets.

  3. 3

    Add sausage* to one side of grill (you’ll add more to the grill later). Close lid and grill until browned and cooked through, 10-12 minutes per side. (If sausage begins to brown too quickly, reduce heat to medium low.) Transfer to a cutting board.

    Once sausage has cooked 2 minutes, add veggie packets to empty side of grill. Close lid and grill until veggies are tender, 18-20 minutes. TIP: When checking for doneness, carefully open the packets with tongs—there will be steam!

    OVEN ALTERNATIVE: Place veggie packets on a baking sheet. Roast on top rack until veggies are tender, 25-30 minutes. Once veggies have cooked 10 minutes, place sausage on a separate baking sheet. Roast on middle rack until sausage is browned and cooked through, 15-17 minutes.

  4. 4

    Once cool enough to handle, slice sausage on a diagonal into 1-inch-thick pieces.

    Carefully open veggie packets and top with sliced sausage. Drizzle with as much balsamic glaze as you like.

    Divide packets between plates and serve.

    Pork Sausage is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.
