Grilled sausage and peppers
The open-fire version of Larry's signature dish — built for grills and campfires, with a two-zone fire so the sausages cook through without burning.

Larry and Sally settle in for sausages around the campfire when a hungry black bear wanders into camp. Larry keeps his cool, shares a drink, and turns a close encounter into one unforgettable cookout. One minute, no sign-up — and the most-watched Uncle Larry video on Instagram.
The story behind the scene
Every Uncle Larry Adventure starts with the same idea: take one ordinary moment, add sausage, and let it go wrong in the best possible way. This time the moment is a quiet campfire cookout in the woods — a red cooler, a forest grill, and the smell of sausage and peppers carrying further than Larry planned. The bear was not on the guest list. The bear did not care.
It's Larry's whole philosophy in one minute: you can't control who shows up to dinner, but you can control whether there's enough to go around.
Full transcript
Okay, Larry, I'll admit it. That smells incredible. Nothing beats sausage and peppers in the wilderness. Larry, what was that? Probably a squirrel. That is a very large squirrel. Larry, don't run. I'm not running. I'm considering a strategic relocation. You want one? Did we just invite a bear to dinner? I think he invited himself. I think he likes your cooking. Everybody likes my sausage. Larry. To camping. Great. Now there are two of you.

What is Camping with Larry?
A one-minute comedy short from Uncle Larry Adventures. Larry and Sally are cooking sausage and peppers over a campfire when a black bear wanders into camp — and Larry handles it the only way he knows how: he shares.
Where can I watch Camping with Larry?
Right here on this page, free, no sign-up. It's also on Instagram @unclelarryadventures, where it's the most-watched video on the channel.
What are they cooking in the video?
Sausage and peppers over an open fire — Larry's signature dish, made outdoors. The full recipe, including a grilled version built for campfires and backyard grills, is linked on this page.
Is the bear real?
The bear is part of the show's comedy cast, like Sally Peppers. No real wildlife was fed sausage in the making of this film — feeding wild bears is dangerous and illegal in many parks, so keep your cookout to yourself out there.
