Ingredients
- 2 pounds smoked sausage cut into 2 inch pieces
- 2 pounds small potatoes cut into 1 inch cubes
- 1 pound carrots cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 onion cut into large pieces
- 1 packet ranch dressing seasoning mix
- 4 Tablespoons olive oil
- 4 thyme sprigs
- ¼ cup white wine or chicken broth
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to 400°.
- Cut 4 large pieces of tin foil. Spray with non stick cooking spray.
- Divide the sausage between the 4 pieces of tinfoil and place in the middle of the foil.
- Divide the vegetables between the foils.
- Sprinkle the ranch dressing over the vegetables, then drizzle a tablespoon of oil over each packet of vegetables.
- Add a thyme sprig to each packet and carefully pull up the sides of the tinfoil.
- Add a tablespoon of white wine to each packet.
- Pull two sides together in the middle and fold down tightly.
- Fold the ends up tightly to seal.
- Place on the grill and close the lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then turn over and continue cooking for 8 to 10 minutes until vegetables are tender.
- Remove and carefully open the top. CAUTION: packets contain hot steam!
Notes
- These are easy and quick to make and can be changed up. If you prefer beef, you can use a homemade hamburger patty or substitute meatballs.
- You can add any vegetables that you like - cabbage, corn on the cob pieces, cauliflower, broccoli, etc.
- This can also be frozen. Cool completely and remove from the foil packet. Place in a ziplock bag or air-tight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw and heat before serving.
- These are a great option when you are camping. The packets can be made a day or two before cooking and stored in the refrigerator till ready to grill.
