"I recently discovered this recipe from Pillsbury and I love it. It is so simple to make and cleanup is super easy too!"

 

• Ready In: 50mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 (28 ounce) bag frozen O'Brien potatoes
• 1 (16 ounce) package miniature smoked sausage (ex. Lil Smokies)
• 3⁄4 cup ranch dressing
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions or 2 tablespoons chives

directions

1. Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 4 (18x12 inch) sheets of foil. Spray foil with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In large bowl, gently mix potatoes, sausages, and dressing. Spoon mixture evenly onto foil sheets. Seal each packet using double fold seals, allowing room for heat expansion.
3. Place packets on grill over medium heat. Cover grill and cook 30-35 minutes, rotating and turning packets several times.
4. Remove packets from grill; open carefully to allow steam to escape. Sprinkle each with cheese and green onions.

I made half the recipe (2 packets), and since my grill is still stored for the winter, I baked them at 350° for 40 minutes. Served with a side of baked beans and Recipe #359978 I enjoyed an indoor picnic! Thanks for sharing Chris. Made and enjoyed for PAC Spring '09.

First, I must confess I used a covered dutch oven instead of the grill. We really enjoyed the flavors. This is a great "comfort" food and the ease in preparation was a plus! I will be using this recipe again. Thank you for posting.
