Ingredients

4 servings
  • Yellow Onion(225g)
  • Bell Pepper(200g)
  • Bell Pepper(200g)
  • Potato, Red(330g)
  • Kielbasa, Pork, Smoked(227g)
  • Vegetable oil(15g)
  • Oregano, Dried(1g)
  • ¼ tsp dried parsley ($0.12)
  • Garlic powder(3g)
  • ½ tsp salt ($0.02)
  • ¼ Tsp Black Pepper (Freshly Cracked, $0.03)

Instructions

  1. 1Dice the onion and bell peppers into ¾-inch pieces. Cut the red potatoes into ½-inch cubes. Slice the kielbasa into ¼-inch-thick rounds.
  2. 2In a large bowl, combine the diced onion, bell peppers, red potatoes, kielbasa, vegetable oil, dried oregano, and garlic powder. Toss until evenly coated.
  3. 3Cut four 12×18-inch sheets of heavy-duty foil. Divide the sausage and vegetable mixture evenly among the four sheets, placing in the center of each with the sausage on the bottom layer and vegetables on top.
  4. 4Fold the short sides of each foil sheet together, then fold the seams twice to seal. Tuck the ends in and up to create a tight seal.
  5. 5Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place the foil packets on the hot surface and cook for 20–25 minutes, shaking the packets gently every 5–7 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  6. 6Check for doneness by carefully opening one corner of a packet (watch for steam): the potatoes should be fork-tender and the kielbasa heated through with no gray remaining.
  7. 7Remove packets from heat and allow to cool for 3–5 minutes before opening.
  8. 8Carefully open each packet and divide the contents evenly into 4 airtight containers while still hot. Seal and refrigerate until ready to reheat.
