Equipment

- Baking sheet
- Knife
- Cutting board
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Italian sausage fresh or frozen
- 1 medium onion halved, and sliced
- 2 large bell peppers or other pepper of choice
- ½ cup crushed tomatoes canned
- 2 cloves garlic thinly sliced
- salt and pepper
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese (optional) grated for topping
- parsley garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F [190°C]
Make the foil pack
- To make a sturdy foil pack, layout 2 equal sized sheet of foil that are longer than the baking sheet.
- Start by adding the chopped onions, pepper, and garlic to the center of the foil. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Pour crushed tomatoes over the vegetables and place the sausage on top of everything in a row.
- Place another piece of foil overtop. Crimp, fold, and roll the top and bottom layers of foil together to create a seal. Carefully roll the sides in tight to create a pack.
Cooking Instructions
- Keeping the baking sheet under the pack, cook in a 375°F [190°C] oven for 1-1½ up to 1¾ of an hour.
- Carefully remove the top layer of foil, keeping hand clear of the very hot steam, and return the uncovered pack to the oven at 375-400°F [190-205°C] for 15-20 minutes or until the tops of the sausage begins to brown and blister.
- Serve topped with freshly grated mozzarella cheese and chopped parsley.
Notes
This reverse braising technique can be used to cook any combination of sausages or low carb veggies. Feel free to experiment!
Check the labels at your grocery store to find the canned tomatoes with the least amount of sugar.
Whole, diced, or stewed tomatoes can be used in place of crushed if blended first.
