Keto Cheesy Sausage Balls
These easy Keto Cheesy Sausage Balls are a perfect low-carb appetizer or snack, packed with savory breakfast sausage, cheddar, and cream cheese.
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Wire Rack
- Large mixing bowl
- Cookie Scoop
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 2/3 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup softened cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons homemade ranch seasoning (or 1 ½ teaspoons store-bought)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Prep Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). For super easy cleanup and even cooking, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
- Combine Everything: In a large mixing bowl, simply toss in all your ingredients: the breakfast sausage, grated cheddar cheese, almond flour, soft cream cheese, egg, ranch seasoning, and baking powder.
- Mix Gently: Mix everything together until it's just combined. Try not to over-mix, as this helps keep your sausage balls wonderfully tender and not dense.
- Form the Balls: Grab a cookie scoop (it makes them all the same size!) and scoop out portions of the mixture. Roll each portion gently into a small, round ball.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Arrange your perfectly formed sausage balls on the prepared wire rack. Bake them for about 15 minutes, or until the sausage is cooked through and the outsides are lightly golden.
- Enjoy: Let them cool for a few minutes and then serve warm! They're fantastic on their own or with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.
Notes
