Ingredients

  • 1 package small breakfast sausages 20-24 pkge
  • 3 carrots peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch coins
  • 3 large yellow potatoes peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch slices
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 4 slices bacon uncooked
  • salt and pepper
  • heavy duty tin foil
  • cooking spray

Instructions

  • Cut or rip 4 pieces of tin foil about twice as long as the food (approx. 18 inches)
  • Bottom layer: Spray foil with cooking spray and in the middle of each sheet place 3 sausages in a row or triangle.
  • Sprinkle on some potatoes, carrots and onions. Spread out just a little. Lay one piece of bacon across the veggies.
  • Top layer: place 2-3 more sausages on top, evenly distribute the rest of the potatoes, carrots and onions over all four packages. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Start wrapping your packets by bringing the long sides together in the centre, folding down as you go. Make fold tight against the food.
  • Tightly roll up the shorter ends until it touches food.
  • Double wrap. Wrap the packet in a second piece of tin foil exactly as you did the first one.
  • Cook over coals, not direct fire, flipping every 15 minutes or so. Cooking time will vary depending on your heat source. I tend to cook longer and open one pack regularly to check progress.
  • When done, pull out a paper plate, remove first layer of foil and toss. Open second layer of foil, peel back, place on paper plate to avoid drips and enjoy.
