Ok, first of all, don’t judge me for my Instagram pic. I’m new to photographing food, and trust me, it looks better with the filter!
One of my favorite hors d’oeuvres is sausage balls. Yummy, warm little nuggets of happiness filled with sausage, cheese and… Bisquick? Um, no. Not exactly low carb, right? Luckily, I came up with an alternative, and boy, have they been popular around this house!
Angela’s Low Carb Sausage Balls
1 pound breakfast sausage (mild or hot – your choice)
1 pound ground beef or turkey
3 eggs
1 12 oz. bag sharp cheddar cheese – shredded
1 bag unflavored (plain) pork rinds – finely crushed
1 small onion – minced (or 3 Tbsp dried minced onion)
1/2 Tbsp salt-free seasoning (Mrs. Dash original is my fave)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix all ingredients well, until everything is incorporated. Hand roll 1″ balls (or use a mellon baller!) of mixture and place balls on well greased cookie sheet, leaving at least 1″ between each ball. Bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese begins to melt out of balls. You can also broil the balls for a couple of minutes to brown them on top!
Nom nom, and Keto on!
