Spicy Sausage BBQ Packets

Oh BBQ season. Probably the favorite season in our household. It might have to do with the fact that we have no air conditioner and hate heating up our house with the stove or maybe that I need quick meals to feed Chris before he heads to one of his ball games. Either way, this super quick meal does the trick!

This can basically be done with any protein or even just vegetables if that's your style! Digging around in my freezer after work I found a package of spicy Italian sausage. So that's what I used!

Start with laying out a peice of tin foil and giving it a little oil. Two feed the two of us (with leftovers for lunch) I grabbed 3 russet potatoes and sliced them into rounds. Make a layer of potatoes directly on the oiled foil and season with what you like best. In this case I gave them a bit of seasoning salt and fresh dill and Italian parsley. The sausage is quite salty, so season accordingly.

Fresh Dill and Parsley from the garden too!

On top of the seasoned potatoes I sliced up one small onion and added that to the mix. This onion made me cry like a heart broken school girl, mascara running and all. But I powered through!  Layer the onion on top.

Using the thawed, but raw, sausage, I cut it into nice bite sized pieces. Set those on top of the onions and that is it! Peppers or mushrooms would have been great to add, but I didn't have any so it was just meat and potatoes for us!

Mmm, raw meat!

Tear off another, smaller, piece of foil and place it directly on top of your layered mixture. Roll of the edges to give yourself a nice tight little BBQ packet.

Place these on your medium preheated BBQ (after the wedding I hope that our BBQ has actual temperature setting *hint hint*) and leave them for about 30 minutes. They should puff up pretty good and look like hot little tinfoil pillows! Remove from the heat and enjoy!

*Do not rest head on these pillows*

I topped mine with a nice dollop of sour cream (another favorite of ours). Delicious!
