Bratwurst Dinner

Total Time Prep: 10 min. Grill: 45 min.

Yield 12 servings

Here’s a fun way to cook your bratwurst dinner on the grill. You don’t even have to turn the sausages. Seal all the ingredients in foil to lock in the aromas and you’ll unwrap a package of hearty goodness.

Ingredients

3 pounds uncooked bratwurst links
3 pounds small red potatoes, cut into wedges
1 pound baby carrots
1 large red onion, sliced and separated into rings
8 ounces whole fresh mushrooms
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1 envelope onion soup mix
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Directions

For each of 2 foil packets, arrange a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 17x15 in.) on a flat surface.
Cut brats into thirds. Divide the brats, potatoes, carrots, onion and mushrooms evenly between the 2 double-layer foil rectangles. Dot with butter. Sprinkle with soup mix, soy sauce and pepper. Bring edges of foil together; crimp to seal, forming 2 large packets. Seal tightly; turn to coat.
Grill, covered, over medium heat for 23-28 minutes on each side or until vegetables are tender and sausage is no longer pink. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.

After trying a few bratwurst recipes, I've found this meal-in-one is ideal for camping since it grills to perfection in a heavy-duty foil bag. Loaded with chunks of bratwurst, red potatoes, mushrooms and carrots, it's easy to season with onion soup mix and a little soy sauce. —Janice Meyer, Medford, Wisconsin
