Foil Packet Hawaiian BBQ Sausage
with pineapple / bell pepper
Sweet and savory, pineapple and BBQ sauce give these foil packet meals a Hawaiian vibe.
Smarts #1: The packets can be fully assembled and sealed up to a day ahead of time. Store them on a sheet pan to catch any liquid that might leak out.
Smarts #2: Since paleo BBQ sauces are widely available, we're leaving BBQ sauce on the grocery list here. Just make sure whichever brand you use is compliant with your needs.
Cooking Methods: This recipe includes instructions for using the grill or oven. Select your preferred method.
