Big Ol' Mess (Smoked Sausage in Spicy Sweet Sauce)

Recipe #174747 | 1 hour | 15 min prep | add private note

By: Bone Man
Jun 26, 2006

This is a grilling recipe, and one that easily transfers to the campfire when camping. You can make it up ahead of time, put it into a cooler of ice and skip the mess at the campsite. A great dish from Marlboro.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Make an aluminum foil bag. Use 2 12" x 18" sheets of heavy-duty foil (or double regular foil) and, (after the ingredients are in the bottom half), crimp the top half on.
  2. 2
    Put the sausage, green pepper and onions in the bottom half of the foil bag.
  3. 3
    Mix the Tabasco up with the sweet and sour sauce and pour it over the sausage mix. Seal the foil bag with the top half. Make sure it is "leak-proof".
  4. 4
    Place on the grill (gas or charcoal) and cook for a total of 45 minutes, turning after each 15 minutes.
  5. 5
    You can slit the bag open when done and serve from it at the campsite.
  6. 6
    If you are cooking this in the hot coals of a campfire, reduce the total cooking time by about 15 minutes and turn every 5 minutes.

I have this cookbook and have done this recipe many times and it is always a hit. One of my favorite things is that it is so easy to play with. I have used different sausages (spicy, sweet, etc. ), different hot sauces (Tobascco, Red Hot), and my favorite different peppers for a different kick (Habanero, etc.) This is easy and great. I have also done this in a crock-pot when when I am not grilling. Great Recipe

    I used alot more hot sauce and I also think it would be 5 stars if I had used a yellow onion so I will make it again like that.
