0:57
these into three let's see one two
1:02

1:06
inches right there and right
1:11
there we're looking for this right here
1:14
this is your hassle bag where you cut
1:16
through almost towards the end of your
1:18
sausage in pieces there keep it in one
1:23
so you're going to take your sausage
1:25
quarter here about a bite size and
1:30
you're going to go down cut through
1:31
almost till you get to the end you don't
1:34
want to go all the way
1:37
through have a good sharp knife when you
1:39
do
1:40
this there we
1:42
go all right I'm going to finish the
1:45
rest of these up
1:47
this recipe my husband found and he said
1:51
he really wanted to try these like
1:54
this and we're just changing one or two
1:57
ingredients to suit our likes and our
2:00
taste for a
2:04
recipe and we're going to serve this
2:07
up with potato salad colaw and baked
2:12
beans and I have all of those recipes on
2:15
my blog at
2:17
kathern'splates.com where you can find
2:19
all of my recipes including this one
2:22
here and I'll put it right here
2:24
catherine's
2:27
plates.com now if you slice through that
2:30
is totally fine if you slice through one
2:32
of them i did see right here just
2:35
include them in the batch you don't want
2:37
them to be left out there we go that's
2:39
the last one we're going to get a baking
2:41
dish
2:44
i'm using a 9 by13 because I've got a
2:47
lot of sausage hasslebacks here we're
2:50
going to spray the baking dish with a
2:52
little bit of cooking spray well keep
2:55
the sauce from
2:57
sticking because it will caramelize in
3:00
our dish here place your sausage
3:04
hasslebacks in your pan
3:14
and we'll put him in there
3:17
also we're going to take some barbecue
3:20
sauce and we're going to doctor it up
3:21
and make it really delicious for these
3:24
so we're going to add one cup of your
3:27
favorite barbecue sauce to a medium
3:30
bowl i'm just using one of my wet dry
3:34
measuring cups here will be easier to
3:36
get out of
3:40
there we go
3:51
now I'm going to measure out a/4
3:53
cup maple
4:07
syrup get a
4:13
knife scrape that off
4:19
we're going to place in some mustard now
4:21
I'm
4:23
using Dijon
4:26
mustard about two teaspoons or so it
4:30
looks like that right here we're going
4:31
to go in with some salt about a/4 of a
4:35
teaspoon some black pepper 1/4 of a
4:41
teaspoon garlic powder
4:44
onion
4:45
powder this is about a quarter teaspoon
4:48
of each and then my all-time favorite
4:51
smoked paprika just gives it a smoky
4:55
flavor want that for a
4:58
barbecue going to take a whisk blend
5:00
this all
5:02
together woo that looks good make sure
5:05
you go in give it a taste make sure your
5:08
flavors are where you want them
5:18
oh my goodness talk about ramping up
5:20
some barbecue sauce we're going to get
5:23
rid of the whisk we're going to come in
5:24
with a basting
5:28
brush we're going to go in and slather
5:31
our sausage with the
5:34
sauce we want to make sure they're all
5:36
covered on the top that way they can
5:38
bake right into the slices of our
5:47
sausage i'm really going heavy-handed on
5:50
the tops of these
5:53
sausages okay we got them all
5:56
slathered let me get all that sauce out
5:59
of the
6:02
bowl put them all together that way they
6:04
cook in that sauce we're going to place
6:07
this in the oven i got it preheated at
6:09
400° we're going to bake these for 25 to
6:12
30 minutes till they kind of get crispy
6:14
on the edges and that sauce gets nice
6:17
and caramelized inside here i'm going to
6:19
be back that is what a hassleback looks
6:23
like i'm going to plate these
6:28
up we're going to cut up a little bit of
6:30
fresh
6:31
parsley give it a nice pop of color and
6:34
freshness
6:39
all right what do y'all think don't
6:40
those look fun and delicious for a
6:43
picnic or
6:47
barbecue all those flavors just went
6:49
right into that sausage it's very tender
6:52
i love the little crispness on the ends
6:55
of the sausages today I'm going to show
6:58
you how to make delicious foil packets
7:02
these are so easy to do you can
7:05
practically put anything into them
7:07
summertime and you're supposed to go out
7:09
there and grill right these are perfect
7:12
to put on the grill now if it's too hot
7:15
out there like it is for us I'm going to
7:17
pop these in the oven and I'm going to
7:19
show you how we're going to do that what
7:20
temperature and time and all of that
7:22
okay it's as simple as some
7:25
foil some delicious ingredients that I
7:28
have here and then also some seasonings
7:32
got to give it some flavor first thing
7:34
we're going to do is get our foil
7:41
going i'm going to double foil each
7:47
packet i'm going to be doing three
7:49
packets
7:54
today now you want them long enough so
7:57
that you can fold these
8:04
and keep them all the same
8:07
size what I'm going to do is measure
8:10
these for you just to kind of give you
8:11
an idea of how long my foil is and it's
8:14
about 18
8:17
in about a foot and a
8:21
half all right I'm just going to stack
8:23
these on top of each
8:26
other and get these out of the way for
8:28
just a minute all
8:33
right I'm bringing a cutting board over
8:35
with a knife we're going to be using
8:37
some red potatoes now these are medium
8:40
size so these will fit one to a package
8:43
we're going to dice these up very small
8:46
now I have three potatoes right here
8:48
they're medium size i've already
8:50
scrubbed them
8:53
off about they fit about in the palm of
8:56
your hand that's the size that you
8:59
want so one potato will fit into each
9:03
package so I'm going to slice them
9:06
pretty thin about a quarter of an
9:09
inch and then I'm just going to lay them
9:12
down and then cut them into
9:18
strips and then I'm just going to dice
9:20
them
9:25
that's going to be one
9:26
packet now you want to cut them thin
9:29
because we're going to cook these in the
9:32
packets and you want to make sure that
9:34
everything is cooked on
9:37
time we don't want crunchy
9:43
potatoes there we
9:46
go the next thing that I'm bringing over
9:48
is the sausage i'm using pulsa
9:53
kilbasa and I cut this into four pieces
9:57
i have one packet in the oven already
9:59
for my son who needs to leave for work
10:01
so he'll be having that one so I'm going
10:03
to be showing you these three that's
10:05
what's left here so you want to take
10:08
these and then just cut them into
10:12
rings again we're going to go about a
10:14
quart of an inch then I'm going to cut
10:17
the circles into halves so you can use
10:20
smoked sausage chicken sausage turkey
10:23
sausage whatever you like for
10:26
these and it'll probably be easier if
10:28
you just take it cut it lengthwise in
10:32
half and then slice
10:35
them i was going around that the hard
10:38
way wasn't
10:40
I there we go now I have some nibblet
10:44
corn which are half of a corn cob
10:49
now I've thawed these out and then I
10:52
just wiped them down to kind of get some
10:54
of the moisture off of them we're just
10:57
going to cut these into three using a
10:58
sharp
11:07
knife we're going to start loading these
11:10
packets up so remember that each packet
11:12
is two sheets of foil
11:16
we're going to put one potato that we've
11:19
diced up right in the
11:25
center we're going to run a little salt
11:27
over it a little black
11:30
pepper okay we're going to take the
11:32
sausage that we cut up and take about a
11:34
third of
11:35
it you kind of want to divide it put it
11:38
on top of the potatoes and then we're
11:40
going to take the corn cob that we cut
11:42
into pieces we're just going to roll
11:44
them into the potatoes here just push
11:48
everything into the center it's where
11:49
it's going to go
11:52
anyway we're going to add two tablespoon
11:55
of butter to the top one on this
11:58
side one on this side right here all
12:02
right we're going to season again with a
12:03
little bit of
12:05
salt some
12:08
pepper garlic
12:10
powder and paprika for some nice color
12:13
all
12:16
right we're going to fold this up you're
12:18
going to start with the long end that's
12:20
near you right here and bring it up to
12:23
the
12:25
top now bring the other long end that's
12:28
away from you up to the top grab both
12:35
ends and then you're going to fold them
12:39
in come all the way down on both sides
12:43
we're going to flatten both
12:46
sides flatten that on the
12:48
top on each side make sure it's flat
12:52
you're going to roll one flatten two
12:57
flatten and three
13:00
flatten turn it
13:02
around make sure it's flat make sure all
13:06
your ingredients are in the center of
13:07
the packet
13:09
we're going to go roll
13:11
one
13:13
two and
13:22
three i'm going to lay a sheet of foil
13:25
in a sheet pan and we're going to place
13:28
the packets seam side
13:31
up in the sheetpan
13:34
we're going to be flipping these and so
13:36
if there's any juice that come out you
13:37
don't really want to mess up your sheet
13:39
pan you want to keep it clean that way
13:41
there's no clean up at the
13:43
end cuz
13:45
honestly that is it we're not going to
13:48
poke holes or rip up our foil in any way
13:50
on the top okay we got our oven
13:52
preheating at 400° i'm going to place
13:55
these in there for 10 minutes pull them
13:59
out flip them over for another 20
14:02
minutes and then pull them out there's
14:04
still two more things we're going to put
14:06
on top of these when they're done i'm
14:07
going to show you that as soon as we
14:08
come
14:11
back all right once you get them out of
14:14
the oven what we're going to do seam
14:17
side up we're going to take a knife
14:20
sharp knife we're going to cut through
14:24
the top of the foil don't go all the way
14:26
through just the top all the way
14:30
across and then we're going to make a
14:33
slit across one
14:47
side i'm going to peel back the
14:51
package
14:53
jeez my son already had his packet
14:58
and he was adding more cheese to it
15:00
because he said "Oh it was so
15:03
delicious give it a little pop of
15:05
color." We're going to put some parsley
15:07
on
15:10
it what do y'all think my sausage potato
15:15
corn foil packet
15:21
meal that's good welcome back everyone
15:24
we are making stuffed sausage we're
15:27
going to be using linked sausage for
15:30
this recipe today y'all come on down
15:32
let's put this one together we are using
15:35
a beef smoked sausage and also I wanted
15:39
to use this garlic smoked sausage that
15:42
looks really yummy so what we're going
15:43
to do is take these out of the package
15:45
and we're going to put them on the
15:46
cutting board i know this one's going to
15:48
smell really good that garlic in there
15:52
what's great about this recipe is that
15:54
you can cook it in your oven you can
15:56
cook it in the air fryer you can even
15:59
put them on your grill
16:03
outside pass it off to my husband there
16:06
we're going to cut these into about 4
16:09
in like that right
16:12
there we want these all to be the same
16:14
size so we'll do that with this one here
16:17
those right there oh that garlic one
16:20
that's going to be mine so we're going
16:22
to take our knife we're going to cut
16:24
through the
16:26
sausage about halfway
16:30
through to where we can stuff them like
16:33
that just take it just kind of break it
16:35
a little bit just to kind of pull it
16:37
open there we go just like those let's
16:41
make the mixture for these we're going
16:43
to add some veggies to our mixture i've
16:46
got some green bell pepper this was
16:48
already diced up if I used it for
16:50
another recipe and I had this left over
16:51
so we're going to finish using that for
16:53
this recipe i've got a red bell pepper
16:56
this will add a nice crunch i'm going to
16:59
use two sides of
17:01
this we're just going to cut thin
17:06
strips and then we're just going to turn
17:08
these around
17:12
dice them up
17:14
you want to keep them pretty
17:16
small cuz it's not going to take very
17:18
long to cook these in the oven all right
17:21
we have that and then what I'm going to
17:23
do is chop up a red
17:27
onion this is half of a red onion we'll
17:30
see how much we're going to need of
17:32
that i'm just going to peel off that
17:34
outer layer oh I cannot wait for this
17:38
recipe this is new for us so we've been
17:41
seeing it around on social media wanted
17:45
to give this one a
17:48
try just cutting thin
17:51
strips i'm going to run my knife through
17:53
the strips to make fine dices you can do
17:58
green onions with this if you want to do
18:00
that or you can use a yellow onion i had
18:02
the red and it adds such a nice color
18:05
that's plenty right there i'm not going
18:07
to add any more but I am going to make
18:08
sure that it's all nice and diced small
18:12
now we're going to add all of this to a
18:14
medium bowl or a large bowl because I'm
18:17
doing two whole lengths of sausage I had
18:19
a 12 oz and a 14 oz sausage i wanted a
18:23
lot of dip to put in there all right
18:26
here's my bowl
18:29
the green bell
18:31
pepper the red bell
18:35
pepper and we got that red
18:40
onion let's see probably put that much
18:44
in right there to our veggies in our
18:47
bowl we're going to add 8 oz of cream
18:50
cheese now you want to make sure it's
18:52
very soft if you're just pulling it out
18:55
of your refrigerator right now you can
18:57
take it out of its wrapper put it on a
18:59
little plate for the microwave about 10
19:02
15 seconds should get it nice and soft
19:04
for you you don't want it
19:07
runny all right let's add that to our
19:10
bowl we're going to add some cheddar
19:12
cheese 4 oz cuz we're going to use the
19:15
rest of it for topping the sausages at
19:19
the
19:19
end we're going to add some seasonings
19:22
all right here's my drawer we're going
19:24
to put garlic powder black pepper some
19:28
cumin oh it's always good
19:31
and onion powder and let's see where it
19:36
is
19:38
yep woo smoked paprika let's add this
19:43
garlic powder about 1/4 of a teaspoon
19:46
ground
19:47
cumin all of these are going to be 1/4
19:50
of a teaspoon if you want to add chili
19:52
powder you can do that give it an extra
19:54
little heat onion powder smoked
20:02
paprika i'm going to take a large fork
20:06
serving fork and just kind of mash this
20:08
all
20:10
together all right your mixture should
20:12
look like that right here if you want to
20:15
be bold with your stuffing mixture you
20:18
can take jalapenos and add them with the
20:20
peppers but we have the jalapenos and
20:23
we're going to cut these in half
20:24
lengthwise we're not going to add it to
20:26
the mixture cuz it just too hot for me
20:30
put gloves on your hands when you do
20:31
this or wash your hands really well
20:33
afterwards
20:34
yeah don't do what I did rub your eye
20:36
out yeah you don't want to do that okay
20:38
okay now what we're going to do is take
20:40
a spoon and we're just going to clean
20:42
out the seeds and that excess membrane
20:44
right there that'll take some of that
20:45
heat out we're going to stuff these like
20:48
we do the
20:50
sausages just like that we're going to
20:53
take these and we're going to place them
20:55
onto a sheetpan lined with some
20:58
parchment
20:59
paper like that
21:06
this one split almost all the way
21:08
through so we just cut it and then did
21:10
the split on that also you can do it
21:12
that way if you want to do that all
21:13
right let's move these down and then
21:14
we'll put our
21:16
jalapenos right there how many hands do
21:20
I have
21:22
today we got four hands all right we're
21:25
going to take a spoon we're going to go
21:27
into our
21:28
mixture form kind of a log shape and
21:31
then we're going to put it right in our
21:33
sausage spread it
21:35
out fill it up yeah there we go look at
21:39
all those colors all right just go into
21:42
your
21:44
mixture kind of form that into a log
21:52
shape get some more there we go all
21:56
right that's what we're going to do all
21:58
right now we're going to fill the
21:59
peppers
22:03
now if you want you can wrap your
22:04
jalapenos in bacon after you put the
22:06
mixture on but Thomas likes it just like
22:10
