Hot Link BBQ Packets for Grilling

Sharing is caring!

Hot link BBQ packets are a fun addition to any barbecue or summer party. Usually made when camping, foil packets are a great option for a weeknight meal.

I’ve only been camping a handful of times, but I will always remember the food. These hot link BBQ packets are high on the memory list.

Hot dogs and brats on sticks, roasting in the fire. S’mores. Mountain Pies. Popcorn made in a dutch oven. It was all delicious to me. The one thing that stuck out to me were the BBQ packets that we had for dinner.

Also known as foil packets, these were like magic to me. So, for our 4th of July meal, I decided that we need to take our hot links to the next level.

Entertain with BBQ Packets

Brats are perfect for any occasion; cookouts, picnics, family dinners, and BBQs.  Hot Link BBQ Packets are beyond easy to make, and they’re frugal too!

The combination of carrots, potatoes, onions, and hot links make a meal you won’t forget. The best part is that you can use any kind of bratwurst flavors for this; original, beef hot, cheddar, or even hot ‘n spicy!

The hot links were sliced on a bias to make sure that we got some crispy tips, and the onions, carrots and potatoes were chopped a similar size to ensure that they were done at the same time. I sprinkled each packet with a little seasoned salt, as well.

Packet Placement is Key

The packets were placed directly within the coals, just like at a campsite.

Try to keep the packets as closed as possible, so the juices from the hot links will flavor the vegetables and there will be the proper amount of heat preserved in each package to cook everything through.

Obviously, the packet above is a rule breaker. The good news is that the food still cooked.

The result? A packet that has the smokiness from the grill, the spicy flavor of the hot links all over the vegetables, and a full meal in less than 20 minutes!

    Now this looks good. Of course, I’d have to sub the potatoes. Wonder if I can do broccoli and still good that good flavor. Thanks for the recipe.

      I think you could definitely do broccoli! Could you sub sweet potatoes for the potatoes? That would be just as delicious.
