Grilled veggies are my favorite, and this idea doesn’t disappoint.

Hip Tips

  • When building my foil packets, I actually lined my foil with a piece of parchment paper then spooned food on top of it because I dislike when food sticks to foil. (Just personal preference and optional.)
  • This amount of food made about 5 packets.
  • Want to keep this lower-carb? Use slightly less carby veggies like mushrooms, zucchini, bell peppers, and onion.

I LOVED these Sausage & Veggie Foil packets!

This meal was a hit with my family, and I can definitely see us making it again while camping or tailgating. It’d be an easy meal to prep ahead at home by cutting all the ingredients and storing it in a large freezer bag, then onlinepiling while at camp. So easy & delicious!

  1. Kris

    We have made a different version for years while camping. A hamburger patty, carrots, potatoes,zucchini and onions.

  2. Lolie

    I never thought of using parchment paper to prevent sticking. Great idea! Thank you!

  3. Sara

    We do this with ground beef & everyone in our family loves it! We’ll have to try the sausage version. I never thought about parchment paper but we use a little bit of cooking spray to prevent sticking.

    • Andrea

      How do u make it with ground beef? What do u put in it with the meat?

      • Sara

        We do potatoes, broccoli, zucchini & peppers all mixed among the ground beef but you can use whatever veggies you want. Sometimes we also add shredded cheese just before serving.

        • Andrea

          Sounds great!! Thanks

    • Gina G.

      We do the “hobo packs” with ground beef too but I form them into Salisbury Steaks with a little Worcestershire sauce.

  4. Steph-B

    Brilliant with the parchment paper trick😁Thanks!! Great camping meal!

  5. lily

    We do this and add shrimp and use Creole seasonings. Yum

    • Lina (Hip's Modern Martha)

      Yummy!

  6. Karen

    We do this with hamburger patties, carrots, potatoes & onions. We call them Hobo dinners. If you put an ice cube in the packet also, it helps to steam everything & prevent sticking.

    • Lina (Hip's Modern Martha)

      Great idea! Thanks for sharing Karen!

  7. adina

    would this work in an oven?

    • Lina (Hip's Modern Martha)

      Yes for sure! 375 for maybe 20-25 minutes or so.

      • Dee

        Or just put it in the steamer. Quick and easy.

    Just FYI,cooking and grilling in aluminum foil is quite dangerous for health.
    Plz Google it for more details!!

    • Emily A

      Glad someone else mentioned this. Do not cook in foil.

    • chaeysa

      Depends on how often you’re doing it. If you really do the research, you’ll see that excess aluminum in the body is a potential health concern; however, the human body is capable of removing aluminum from the body. Just don’t cook with aluminum foil every day and you’ll probably be fine.

    If you like cheese, add some cheese whiz at the end of cooking and let it melt in.

    I was first introduced to foil packs when I was a Girl Scout counselor just out of HS. At the time, they were called Hobo Packs. While on a recent camping trip, our family made these with hamburger meat, potato and veggies. Delish! I make the sausage version in the oven for breakfast too!

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Nice! Yes, I remember making the hamburger version in Girl Scouts too ❤️

  11. Brit

    I want to mention a kind friend here. They have a garden and grow zucchini, squash, tomatoes & peppers. So they bundled up several of the fresh veggies, box of foil and a package of chicken breast along with an adorable handmade card. It made me feel special and she assured me that she was happy to do it, as she always had so many veggies this time of year. I just thought of her, reading this recipe. Foil packets are delicious and great with all types of meats depending on budget and preference. 💞

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Oh I love this so much! What a kind friend! Thanks Brit for sharing ❤️
