I’m a big fan of grilled packet dishes. Anything from simple sides to entire meals can be made quite easily in an aluminum foil packet. They don’t always look fru-fru, but they always taste great, like this grilled sausage with potatoes and green beans. The beauty of this packet meal (and really any packet meal) is that as everything cooks together the flavors all blend together. The sausage seasons the potatoes and beans. The potatoes get some of that bean love. In the end, its a packet of food happiness!
Nothing Boring Here.
This meal-in-a-packet idea really has great flavor. The sausage, beans, potatoes and onion all steam and cook up together, creating a nice broth. Grilled sausage with potatoes and green beans isn’t anything fancy, but it’ll fill you up and it tastes great. And it’s easy. Very easy.
I sprinkled this with smoked black pepper for a little added flavor. The pepper is not crunchy or overwhelmingly strong, it just adds a nice little smoky taste as it cooks down inside the steamy packet.
Also try my green bean casserole.
