Print Recipe

A simple, flavorful campfire recipe featuring juicy Italian sausage and sweet bell peppers cooked in foil packets for an effortless outdoor meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Italian sausage links (1 lb / 450 g), sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 3 medium bell peppers (about 1 lb / 450 g), mixed colors, sliced into strips
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, a handful chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice the Italian sausage into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Core and slice the bell peppers into 1/2-inch wide strips. Thinly slice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced sausage, bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the mixture. Sprinkle dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  3. Tear off four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (about 12×12 inches). Divide the sausage and pepper mixture evenly among the sheets, placing it in the center. Fold the foil over and crimp edges tightly to seal. Double-wrap if needed.
  4. Place the foil packets directly on hot campfire coals or on a grill rack over medium heat. Cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking. Use tongs or heat-resistant gloves to handle packets.
  5. Carefully open one packet to check that sausage is fully cooked (internal temperature 160°F / 71°C). Transfer packets to plates and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Seal foil packets tightly to prevent leaks; double-wrap if foil is thin. Use sliced sausage for even cooking. Can finish cooking in oven at 400°F for 10 minutes if fire is low. Add wood chip soaked in water inside foil for extra smoky flavor. Adjust seasoning before sealing packets.
