Grilled Vegetables & Bacon Packet
My husband is my grill master. This is his recipe and he made it with the peppers he picked fresh from our garden. These are very easy to make and you can throw them on your grill while you are cooking the rest of your meal. The best part about making these, next to the taste of course, is that there is no pan to clean!
Ingredients
Spray two large pieces of
heavy foil with cooking oil.
Place the onions, peppers and bacon onto
the center of one sprayed sheet of foil.
Add the potatoes.
Salt and pepper to taste and add the butter.
Place the second sheet of foil, sprayed
side down, on top of the vegetables.
Pack the top sheet of foil around the
vegetables by gently pushing the foil
down around them with your hands.
Roll both pieces of foil up and tightly
together on one side until you reach the food.
Do the same to the other side,
rolling in the same upward direction.
Continue with the other two sides
rolling in the same direction, upward,
completely sealing the top of the packet.
Place the foil packet on a medium-low
preheated grill, top side down for
10 minutes. Carefully turn the packet
over and grill for another 20 minutes
or until the potatoes are tender.
Remove packet from the grill and carefully
cut a vent hole in the center to allow any
steam to escape. Cut the foil away and serve.

That also works good with shellfish.
What a great idea! Thank you!
That must be lovely to have fresh peppers from your garden 🙂
Yes it was wonderful but they were the last ones☹️ My husband started cleaning out all of the plants for the end of the season.
Will you grown anything else over the autumn instead? It’s far too cold here to grow peppers outside!
No our season is finished. I am still getting a few raspberries though. We cut down our three old apple trees so this is the first year I won’t have them. 😔
🙁 hope you don’t miss them too much!
What I like most is that you can interchange and add veggies. Love the bacon.
Yes everyone can have their own packet with their own favorite veggies. Bacon was my idea but my hubby gets credit for all the rest!
I bet it was delicious and it had a key ingredient – BACON 🙂
Absolutely….lol Bacon was the only ingredient I added the rest of the recipe was my hubbys. Glad somebody else thinks like me!
Looks Delish!
Thank you Valerie! My hubby gets all the credit.
Wonderful idea that I will share with Hubby! I’ve been trying to think up other ideas for all of the bell peppers I’ve been prepping for the freezer.
My hubby gets all the credit for this one! Tomorrow I will post what he did with his.
Looking forward to it!
Great idea! Have a good long weekend. 🙂
You too! Thanks!
20 minutes until lunch and this is what you post!!!! Dammit, it looks so damn good, I can practically smell it. I’ve had this before and it is a notorious dish that is eaten every day in poor homes across the world. Simple, yet it will definitely keep you healthy and lift your spirits! Great post girl, please tell your husband I’m on my way over, I’ll bring the beer!
Hahaha I will have him heat up the grill! Thank you I love your comments!
Wonderful.
Reblogged this on All About Writing and more.
Thank you so much Henrietta!
You are welcome!
Wow!!
Thank you!
Welcome!
Everything tastes better on the grill!
You are so correct!
So tasty
Thanks!
Wow this recipe looks amazing! Do you have any other side recipes from your blog you’d recommend?
Yes any of the potato or vegetable recipes on my blog are all very good.
Love the idea of no pan to clean, and it looks simple enough for Paul to do…
Very easy according to my husband. I pretend I don’t know how to cook on the grill so my hubby always does…hahahaha
No dishes are always a big draw for me.
Me too!
Yum! Great idea!
Thank you Pam!
🦋 Sounds great. Will be trying this one.
Enjoy it’s a great way to use up leftover veggies!
Looks yummy and simple to make!! Bacon is a nice touch. Might have to try. Could I bake this in the oven instead of using the grill?
Yes 350 degrees for about 35 minutes. Let sit for 5-10 minutes before opening. I’m actually posting this tomorrow…lol
Thank you!! lol…I just needed to wait a day. Have a great weekend!
Sorry I meant 45 minutes! You have a great day too!
lol…🤗
Thank you!
Yummy 🙂
Thanks!
Yum! Looks quite simple too. I make a similar dish with chicken and sometimes when I am feeling indulgent and not fretting about the calories I sprinkle some cheese over it. Tastes delicious.
That sounds great! Do you use cooked chicken or cook the chicken in the packet?
I cook the chicken in a separate packet as it tends to exude a lot of water (while cooking) which in turn can make the veggies extremely mushy.
Thank you great idea!
Looks so simple but yummy!
They really are! Thanks Mel!
Ohhhh, yum! My mouth is watering.
My husband would love this. He calls bacon “the candy of meat”.
Smart Man! Lol
