Directions
- Preheat the grill to 500 degrees.
- Place 4 12×12 pieces of aluminum foil on the counter. Begin to layer and divide the kielbasa, potatoes, onion, bell pepper, green beans, and garlic in the center of the aluminum foil. Then place 1 tablespoon of salted butter in each foil pack.
- Season each foil packet with Cajun seasoning and salt (optional). Drizzle on the olive oil one by one and begin to close the packets. Fold in half and then gather each side up toward the sky, crinkle and close until sealed tight. You do not want any air (steam once cooking) or juice to escape.
- Place the foil packets on the grill and grill for 20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
- Carefully remove foil packets from grill. Place each packet on a plate. Carefully open the foil packets and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley on-top. Enjoy immediately.
FAQs
Lay a 12×12 sheet of aluminum foil on the counter. Place all the ingredients in the middle of the foil. Gather the two ends of the aluminum foil up to the sky to form what I call a taco. I fold the two ends in like a burrito and then start to roll down and crimp the top tight. The goal is to keep all the steam and heat in the foil packets so that they cook quickly.
If you don’t have a grill or maybe prefer to cook the foil packs in the oven. Heat an oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare just as you would in the steps. Keep the sausage foil packs on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender.
Tips & Tricks
Here are a few of my favorite tips and tricks I have learned over the years when making kielbasa foil packets.
- Even Cuts – The key to the meal cooking quickly is evenly cut vegetables and sausage.
- Foil – Make sure to use a heavy duty high quality aluminum foil. This helps prevent tears.
- Transferring – I transfer the packets from the kitchen to the grill using a sheet pan. I also keep the sheet pan at the grill, so when the time comes to remove them you can just place it on the sheet pan.
- Utensils – Of course you can’t pick these hot packets up with your hands. You’ll need a long pair of tongs to carefully remove them off the grill!
