Ingredients

  • ½ Cup potatoes diced
  • ¼ Cup onion any type, chopped
  • ¼ Cup bell pepper diced
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ Teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ Teaspoon salt
  • ¼ Teaspoon black pepper
  • Teaspoon paprika
  • 6 sausages breakfast
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 Teaspoon dried chives

Instructions

  • Preheat the BBQ to about 400 degrees F using the indirect cooking method. If cooking over a fire, get the fire started.
  • Cut 2 pieces of aluminum foil, about 12 inches wide.
  • Add the diced potatoes, onion, bell peppers, and olive oil in a large mixing bowl or Ziploc bag. Mix well to coat.
  • Sprinkle the dried chives, garlic powder, salt, ground pepper, and paprika in and mix so all the potatoes, onions, and bell peppers are coated with the seasonings.
  • Place half of the seasoned potato mixture on an aluminum foil sheet.
  • Add 2 or 3 breakfast sausage links.
  • Push the potatoes on the side to create a crater and crack in the egg. Add salt and pepper if you like.
  • Close into a foil pack completely.
  • Repeat the above steps to make the second foil pack.
  • Place directly on the grill.
  • Cook for 15 to 18 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked to your liking.

Notes

Keep the ingredients chilled: Make sure you keep the ingredients chilled while you're on the road, until you build your campfire and you're ready to cook. This is especially important with the eggs and the meat for food safety reasons.
Dice the potatoes small: As the ingredients are either already cooked or only take a few minutes, make sure you dice the potatoes small so they won't take forever to become tender. Little potatoes are best!
Remember the plates and forks! You need more than just a fire, some foil and the ingredients. It's worth printing out a camping checklist to bring with you so you don't forget something you might need (especially the corkscrew!)
