And they’re popular with everyone, because they’re completely customizable to preference. If someone has an aversion to say, onions, (as incredible as that might be!), simply eliminate them and mark the packet before it’s grilled.
Here’s what happens in my family. Rule of thumb is one sausage link per packet. If they’re extra-large, I’ll take half, my son will take two, and hubby gets his and half of mine. A perfect marriage. All packets are marked and everyone is happy.
If friends come unexpectedly, easy. There’s always enough to fill more packets.
