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

1 lb smoked sausage, cut into chunks
3 jalapeno peppers, sliced
1 green bell pepper, de-seeded and cut into chunks
1 sweet onion, peeled and cut into chunks
1/4 cup Tabasco sauce
10 ounces sweet and sour sauce

Directions

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
Put the sausage, green pepper and onions in the bottom half of the foil bag.
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
Place on the grill (gas or charcoal) and cook for a total of 45 minutes, turning after each 15 minutes.
5
You can slit the bag open when done and serve from it at the campsite.
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 stumbled on to this recipe after trying to figure out what to do with a pound of chipotle-flavored smoked sausage a friend gave me a couple days ago. I didn't have any jars of sweet and sour sauce, so I used #350238 from here on the site, and set out to create my own sensational sweet and sour smoked sausage skillet (say that 5 times fast). I used Tiger sauce added to said recipe for sauce and thinned it out a bit for your dish, I also used a can of pineapple chunks toward the end and left out the jalapenos since I had none, and served the mess over rice. It was pretty good stuff, better than I expected in fact. I will definitely keep this one around for that next camping trip where I bet it will taste even better. Thanks for sharing.

Tried this last weekend on the charcoal grill, was tasty, but a little to sweet for my family, we give it a 4.5 star rating. I will add more hot sauce to offset the sweet next time. Thanks for posting this Pat!

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.
