Grill Instructions

1. Heat gas or charcoal grill to high heat, about 400 degrees.
2. Cut 4 (12×12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. 
3. Fill each foil pack with 2 cups broccoli and 1 cup of chopped sausage. 
4. Add salt and pepper to taste. 
5. Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion.
6. Place packs on grill, cook 7 minutes. Flip foil packs and cook 7 more minutes.
7. Carefully open packs and sprinkle each pack with 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Using tongs tent the foil pack over the foil pack allowing the cheese to melt. Cook 2-3 more minutes and remove from heat. 

Oven Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Cut 4 (12×12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. 
3. Fill each foil pack with 2 cups broccoli and 1 cup of chopped sausage. 
4. Add salt and pepper to taste. 
5. Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion.
6. Place packs in the oven, cook 7 minutes. Flip foil packs and cook 7 more minutes.
7. Carefully open packs and sprinkle each pack with 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Using tongs tent the foil, allowing the cheese to melt. Cook 2-3 more minutes and remove from oven.

Storage and Reheating Instructions

This recipe is very simple to reheat. Simply reheat in the microwave in 30-second increments until heated to your desired level. You can store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days in an airtight container. You could freeze this recipe for up to 3 months.

Do I have to use the foil packs in the oven?

Short answer, no! The foil packs give you perfectly tender, steamed broccoli, but you can also put these ingredients on a baking sheet for crispy roasted broccoli instead.

If using the sheet pan method, I recommend waiting until the last 6 minutes of cooking to add the cheese so that it’s nicely melted, not overcooked.

Each foil pack is one serving. It includes 2 cups of chopped broccoli florets, 1 cup of sausage and 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Each serving is just  6.6 net carbs, which fits well within a low carb or keto diet.
