Sausage and Peppers Foil Packets
Description
This recipe assembles sliced andouille sausage with chopped bell peppers and onion, tossing them in olive oil, minced garlic, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Separately, instant white rice is combined with undrained diced tomatoes and vegetable stock. Each foil packet contains a portion of the rice mixture layered with the sausage and vegetable blend, then sealed tightly to trap moisture during grilling.
Grilling over high heat cooks the contents evenly, softening the peppers and onions while allowing the sausage slices to heat through and blend with the spices. The packets capture steam and cooking juices, creating a moist, flavorful dish with a balance of protein, vegetables, and rice. The Cajun seasoning adds a spicy, smoky note to the ensemble.
These foil packets are served directly from the grill and can be garnished with fresh chopped parsley for brightness. They work as a convenient, self-contained dinner option, especially suitable for outdoor cooking or camping.
