Big Ol' Mess (Smoked Sausage in Spicy Sweet Sauce)
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
For the grill:
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.
Put the sausage, green pepper and onions in the bottom half of the foil bag.
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".
Place on the grill (gas or charcoal) and cook for a total of 45 minutes, turning after each 15 minutes.
You can slit the bag open when done and serve from it at the campsite.
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.
For the Stove:
Follow the instructions above, substituting a boiler for the foil bag, and cook on Medium to Medium-high heat, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes.
* - This is served, as is, as a side dish at the campsite, but I put it over rice (roasted/baked potatoes could defiantly be subbed) and made it a main course!
** - I also added an additional red pepper, and orange/yellow bell pepper for color
