Whether you’re cooking over a campfire or firing up the grill, our Italian pork sausages with cheesy veggies are a breeze to prep. You’ll fold up foil pouches packed with a colorful medley of broccoli, bell pepper, sweet potatoes, and onion topped with tangy marinara sauce and easy-melting mozzarella, grill them right alongside the sausages, then finish your dish with a drizzle of tangy-sweet balsamic glaze for the perfect balance.

Cooking Steps
• Preheat a well-oiled grill to medium-high heat. Wash and dry produce. • Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper into strips. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Dice sweet potatoes into 1⁄2-inch pieces. • OVEN ALTERNATIVE: Adjust racks to top and middle positions; preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• In a large bowl, toss broccoli, bell pepper, onion, and sweet potatoes with oregano, garlic powder, a large drizzle of oil, a big pinch of salt, and pepper. • Cut two 18-inch-long pieces of foil (four pieces of foil for 4 servings); arrange on a work surface. TIP: Coat foil with nonstick cooking spray to prevent the cheese from sticking. • Dividing evenly, arrange veggies in the center of foil pieces. Spoon marinara on top and sprinkle with mozzarella. Fold foil over veggies, then cinch into packets.
• Add sausage* to one side of grill (you’ll add more to the grill later). Close lid and grill until browned and cooked through, 10-12 minutes per side. (If sausage begins to brown too quickly, reduce heat to medium low.) Transfer to a cutting board. • Once sausage has cooked 2 minutes, add veggie packets to empty side of grill. Close lid and grill until veggies are tender, 18-20 minutes. TIP: When checking for doneness, carefully open the packets with tongs—there will be steam! • OVEN ALTERNATIVE: Place veggie packets on a baking sheet. Roast on top rack until veggies are tender, 25-30 minutes. Once veggies have cooked 10 minutes, place sausage on a separate baking sheet. Roast on middle rack until sausage is browned and cooked through, 15-17 minutes.
• Once cool enough to handle, slice sausage on a diagonal into 1-inch-thick pieces. • Carefully open veggie packets and top with sliced sausage. Drizzle with as much balsamic glaze as you like. • Divide packets between plates and serve.
Pork Sausage is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many enjoyed the sausage, but some found the marinara and balsamic combo odd with the veggie mix.
- Ease of prep: Grilling or oven-baking in foil packets made for easy cooking and cleanup, though some needed longer cook times.
- Suggestions: Consider skipping marinara; try regular potatoes instead of sweet, and add more cheese that won't stick to foil.
- Portions: Several mentioned an abundance of veggies; some wanted an extra sausage for better meat-to-veggie ratio.
- Veggie mix: Some found broccoli and sweet potatoes an unusual pairing with marinara; peppers and onions were favorites.
Reviews from our home cooks
I love this idea. Grill recipes are a great add to selections. I felt like the recipe overcooked the veggies a bit. Maybe review grill times.
I think cauliflower would have been better than the broccoli. I loved the balsamic glaze drizzle but didn't care for the marinara sauce and cheese on the veggies. The sauce and cheese maybe would have been better in a stand alone sausage packet.
Great concept. Loved the sausage. Not crazy about the marinara. And with unpredictable temps on an outside grill, the veggies got a little too done. Kinda soft. I will try this again with those things in mind.
Wow! A lot of veggies, delicious sausage. Just loved this combination. We cooked in oven (no grill). Excellent!!
We cooked this in the oven with the foil so cleanup was easy. This was a fun meal change too :)
We have done a lot of foil packs on campfires--loved this combo for the grill.
I pulled chicken out of the freezer, by mistake. My brain was thinking chicken foil packs. Put the chicken on the bottom of the veggies and baked in the oven at 375* for 60 minutes. Surprisingly delicious.
I feel like this needed less veggies and a carb, maybe like a rice. There could also be more cheese. The sausage and veggies with the oregano were delicious though!
This was really good. I think if I had it again I would take the sausage out of the skin and cook as ground sausage.
This was a good idea to add to the menu. Lots of delicious veggies and having a different protein was nice to have instead of chicken. Really easy and loads of veggies which was very filling. Loved it!
