Italian Sausage and Peppers Foil Packet Recipe:

Ingredients:

4 Italian sausages (sweet or spicy, as per preference)
2 red bell peppers, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Preheat your campfire or outdoor grill to medium heat.
Tear off four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, approximately 12 inches (30 cm) each. Place two sheets on top of each other to create a double layer for added durability.
In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper.
Prick the Italian sausages with a fork to prevent them from bursting during cooking.
On each foil packet, place one Italian sausage in the center.
Surround the sausage with the sliced bell peppers and onions.
Drizzle the garlic-olive oil mixture over the sausages, peppers, and onions, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Season with an additional sprinkle of dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper.
Fold the foil over the ingredients to create a well-sealed packet, leaving a bit of room for steam to circulate inside.
Place the foil packets directly on the campfire grates or on the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the sausages are cooked through and the peppers and onions are tender.
Carefully remove the foil packets from the heat using heat-resistant gloves or tongs.
Allow the packets to cool for a few minutes before carefully opening them. Be cautious of the hot steam when opening the packets.
Serve the Italian Sausage and Peppers straight from the foil packets or transfer to a plate. Optionally, you can enjoy them on crusty Italian bread or with a side of pasta.
