Easy Foil Packet Kielbasa with potatoes, peppers, and zucchini, oven-baked instead of the grill. Ready in 35 minutes with little cleanup!
Does anybody else not have or not like to use their grill?
In the Summer, I know that grilling out is super popular because it doesn't heat up the kitchen.
But here's my problem: Our grill is in the garage, in a hard-to-reach place. I'd have to move my car out of the garage and maneuver the grill around the trash bins. And my ADHD brain knows there's no way I'm doing that every time.
Those foil packet dinners are pretty popular, especially while camping! But you can achieve the same dinner by cooking it in your oven, too.
This Foil Packet Kielbasa is just like those grill packet meals, only baked in the oven for more convenience! Smokey sausage, tender potatoes, and delicious bell peppers and zucchini all come together for a super easy dinner, with simple cleanup!

How to Make
Step 1

Step 2
In each piece of foil, divide all of the ingredients.
Step 3
Carefully bring all the foil edges together, folding over top to form a packet.
Step 4

How to Store
Once these cool to room temperature, you can take them out of the foil and store in an airtight container in the fridge. Use up within 3-5 days.
To reheat, remove the foil and either heat in the microwave in 30-second increments, or on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes on medium heat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make these on the grill instead of the oven?
Yes you can, although I haven't done it with this recipe! You'll need to play around with the cooking time to see what works best.
