Usually, a quick grilled dinner at our house consists of some burgers or dogs, with a side and a salad. But sometimes, I like to throw together a just-as-easy meal-in-a-packet, like these grilled kielbasa dinner packets. Everything’s in there. Just assemble (you can put them together the night before) and toss onto a grill (I used my Weber grill) over medium heat until the vegetables are tender. Adding rosemary really takes this from a rather mundane dish to something a little more special.
Dinner In A Packet
These grilled kielbasa dinner packets make for a great meal. You can change it up if you desired. I like substituting poblano for the bell pepper. It adds a slightly different pepper flavor. Of course any kind of pre-cooked or smoke sausage will do. You can even use sliced hot dogs and make this a packet the kids will love. Actually, I’d like that too so I’m going to try it next!
