Sausage Tin Foil Dinner

You don't need a campfire and a summer night to enjoy this next meal. Here's a dinner we love at our house year round. We lovingly call it a ”Hobo” but for the rest of you, you might know it better as a Tin Foil Dinner.

This recipe is super easy to throw together and you can make it as a giant meal or individually for a special customized delight. You can cook it over a campfire or in the oven. Cleanup is super easy too!

Our favorite way to dish this up: cut up all the veggies and meat and then allow everyone to create their own meal. The leftovers are even delicious for breakfast! In the morning we simply fry them up in a pan with some oil or butter until warm for a unique breakfast. My husband loves to then throw it all into a tortilla and top with hot sauce. ;) 

Sausage Tin Foil Dinner

(Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free, Egg Free)
Created by jalene

Serves 4-6
Ingredients: 

• tin foil
• 4 potatoes (peeled & cut up into squares)
• 5 carrots (peeled & cut up into rounds)
• gluten free sausage (see below)
• 1 onion (cut into 1 inch squares)
• sea salt & pepper
• optional: season salt, garlic salt, etc.)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
2. For individual tin dinners: Take a 12x12 inch piece of tin foil and crunch up the edges to form a bowl (as pictured above). Place that bowl In the center of a larger tin foil sheet about 12x24 inches. 
3. Fill your bowl with an assortment of veggies, onion and meat. Sprinkle generously with salt, pepper, and any other preferred seasonings. (And seriously, the more generous the better tasting. Just don't over do it with salt. You can always add more after its cooked.) 
4. Pick up the edges of the larger tin and fold them together so the foil is sealed tightly. Do this with the remaining edges as well. If you need more detailed instructions with pictures click the Chicken Foil Dinner link here or below.
5. Bake for 45 minutes and check. It should be cooked with the vegetables tender. (Be sure to unwrap the foil carefully to avoid a steam burn). Serve warm. Keep leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

This is the sausage brand I used. It's Gluten Free and tastes yummy! The only thing we don't like is it contains Nitrates. (Did you know if you take Vitamin C when consuming meats that contain Nitrates it helps prevent the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines which are not good for your body! Just some food for thought.)
