Inspiration and Benefits
These Sausage Broccoli Cheddar Foil Packs have been a great time saver, and this recipe was inspired by them.

It’s easy to meal prep ahead of time, then just slide back into the oven to crisp up right before serving.
Ingredients Overview
The ingredients needed for this dish include:
- Smoked Sausage: kielbasa, andouille, Italian sausage, or your favorite links
- Broccoli: fresh broccoli florets work best, but frozen can be substituted
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese: you can use another variety of cheese such as gouda if you wish
How to Make a Sausage Broccoli Dinner
This meal could not be any easier! Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for minimal cleanup and spray with oil. Chop your broccoli florets to roughly the same size and cut your sausage links into even slices. Pop the sheet pan in the oven and bake 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and turn the sausage and broccoli. Roast an additional 5-10 minutes until the broccoli reaches your desired tenderness. Add the shredded cheese and pop back in the oven 1-2 minutes until the cheese has melted. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Converting to a Foil Pack
You can definitely convert this sheet pan dinner into a foil pack meal. This is a great option if you want to customize the dinner for multiple people, if you’re meal prepping and plan to eat at different times, or if you’d like to cook this on a grill or over a campfire. To make this a foil pack meal, just put 1/4th of each ingredient onto a large piece of foil, then fold the foil to close, being careful to tightly seal the edges. Cook at 400 degrees for 7 minutes, then flip and cook another 7 minutes.
Serving Suggestions
The beauty of a sheet pan dinner is that you usually don’t need to serve anything else with it, as it includes both protein and veggies. However, if you’re serving a crowd or want to stretch the meal further, consider adding other recipes.

Meal Prep and Storage
This is a great meal prep recipe. You can save time by chopping the broccoli up to 3 days ahead of time, then storing covered in the fridge. Alternatively, you could cook the entire dish ahead of time (leave off cheese), but take it out of the oven about 5 minutes early.
Storage Instructions
Store it in the fridge up to 3 days, then add cheese and cook at 400 degrees F 5-10 minutes or until vegetables are tender and sausage is cooked and warmed throughout.
Freezing Instructions
If you’d like to freeze this, you can! Cook your sheet pan dinner but leave off your shredded cheese. Allow dish to cool, then transfer to a freezer bag and remove as much air as possible. For the best texture, eat within 3 months. To reheat, toss (while still frozen) on a sheet pan and cook 10-15 minutes at 400 degrees F. If you’d like it to be crispier, broil 1-2 minutes.
Reheating Leftovers
Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days in an air-tight container. If you haven’t added the cheese yet, you could also freeze up to 3 months. Leftovers can be microwaved until warmed throughout or reheated in the oven. It’s recommended to reheat at 350 degrees in the oven for about 5 minutes, then broil for a minute to get those crispy edges!
