What ingredients do I need to make Sausage Broccoli Cheddar Foil Packs?
Aside from sheets of aluminum foil you only need three ingredients to make these low carb foil pack dinners. They are:
- Sausage: Smoked sausage, Andouille Sausage, or Kiabosa all work well. Just check the carbs.
- Broccoli
- Cheddar Cheese
How do you make Sausage Broccoli Cheddar Foil Packs on the grill?
- Heat gas or charcoal grill to high heat, about 400 degrees.
- Cut 4 (12×12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil.
- Fill each foil pack with 2 cups broccoli and 1 cup of chopped sausage.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- 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.
- Place packs on grill, cook 7 minutes. Flip foil packs and cook 7 more minutes.
- 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.
How do you make Sausage Broccoli Cheddar Foil Packs in the oven?

- Fill each foil pack with 2 cups broccoli and 1 cup of chopped sausage.

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.
How many net carbs are in Sausage and Broccoli Foil Packs?
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.
What are some other easy low carb recipes?
My newest obsession is this One Pan Keto Tuscan Chicken. If you have been following very long you know how much I love a good one pan recipe! This dish has very basic ingredients including chicken, asparagus and a creamy parmesan sauce. The best part is that this recipe has under 3 net carbs per serving. So you can enjoy a little extra if you want!
A reader favorite is this Bacon Cheeseburger Skillet. It is also a one pan dish that includes ground beef, bacon and cheese in a savory sauce! It is ready in about 20 minutes and has less than four net carbs per serving. Some other favorites include:
- Easy Keto Chili (this is the BEST low carb chili out there!)
- Keto Lemon Cheesecake Bars (a shortbread cookie crust, lemon cheesecake layer topped with lemon bar layer. It is life changing!)
- Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps (great for summer cookouts or an easy dinner!)
- Keto Cheesy Bread (don’t forget to dip in low carb marinara)

I particularly like that some recipes have a more limited ingredient list
Deb says
I made this tonight in the oven. Cooked at 40o degrees.
Had to cook longer then said in recipe. But came out amazing.
April Benson says
Does the broccoli need to be fresh or will frozen be ok?
Annie says
April, I haven’t tried frozen broccoli, but I imagine it would work fine, just increase the cooking time. Enjoy!
Diane says
