A quick and easy weeknight dinner featuring smoky butter-infused kielbasa and fresh corn cooked in foil packets, perfect for grill or oven cooking with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound kielbasa sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 3 ears fresh corn on the cob, husked and cut into thirds
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350°F) or oven to 400°F.
  2. In a small skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter slowly. Add 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika and stir gently for about 3 minutes until the butter is golden and smoky. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Slice the kielbasa into 1/2-inch rounds. Husk the corn and cut each ear into thirds.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine kielbasa, corn, garlic powder, onion powder, remaining 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour half of the smoked butter over and toss gently to coat.
  5. Tear off four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (about 12 x 12 inches). Divide the mixture evenly among the sheets, placing it in the center of each. Top each with remaining smoked butter cubes. Fold foil tightly to seal packets.
  6. Place packets on grill or baking sheet and cook for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through. Corn should be tender and kielbasa heated through.
  7. Carefully open packets to avoid steam. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

Use heavy-duty foil to prevent leaks. For dairy-free, substitute butter with vegan margarine and add liquid smoke. Seal packets tightly to lock in steam and flavor. Can be cooked in slow cooker or air fryer as alternatives. Prepare smoked butter gently to avoid burning.
