🥄 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat

If using the oven: Preheat to 400°F (200°C).

If using a grill: Preheat to medium heat.

Step 2: Prep the Ingredients

Wash and halve baby potatoes (keep pieces uniform so they cook evenly).

Slice sausage into ½-inch rounds.

Trim green beans.

Try to keep everything similar in size for even cooking.

Step 3: Assemble the Mini Packets

Lay out sheets of heavy-duty foil (about 12x12 inches each).

In the center of each sheet:

Add a handful of potatoes.

Top with sausage slices.

Add a small handful of green beans.

Sprinkle garlic seasoning over the top.

Place 1 tablespoon of butter on each pile.

Step 4: Seal the Packets

Fold the foil over the food.

Roll and crimp the edges tightly to seal completely.

Make sure there are no openings — you want the steam trapped inside to cook everything evenly.

Step 5: Cook

🔥 On the Grill:

Place packets directly on grill grates.

Cook 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway through.

🔥 In the Oven:

Place packets on a baking sheet.

Bake 25–30 minutes.

Potatoes should be fork-tender when done.

Step 6: Serve

Stack the mini foil bundles high on a large platter.

Let guests grab one and unwrap it at the table.

Watch their faces when the steam escapes.

🎉 Presentation Tips for Parties

Tie each packet loosely with kitchen twine before cooking (remove before opening).

Label different variations with a marker.

Stack them pyramid-style for visual impact.

Serve with small forks and napkins — minimal cleanup!
