I found this recipe on Christy Jordan’s Southern Plate

I was looking for something for snacks, or a light lunch, or….. that was low carb and TASTY. I found it! Hooray for Christy!!!!

Low Carb Sausage Balls

Ingredients:

• 1 pound pork breakfast sausage (Christy says, “spicy is great!” – but I used MILD because we’re weenies.) :0)
• 1 egg
• 1 cup almond meal
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, place all ingredients. Mix with an electric mixer until well combined.
2. Use a cookie dough scoop or two spoons and spoon out onto lightly greased baking sheet.
3. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
4. Makes about 30. Refrigerate leftovers. Reheat very well in microwave or oven.

Notes:

From Christy – *These freeze really well. These have about 1 carb each. Please calculate nutritional information on your own for accuracy.

From me – (I didn’t get 30 balls, but I just made them until all the ingredients were used. I think I’ll line the baking sheet with foil next time for easier clean up.

SPECIAL NOTES : These were absolutely delicious. We have an early ‘lunch’ on Fridays with friends after not eating breakfast, so we get hungry mid afternoon. My husband and I each ate 4 sausage balls. They were filling and YUMMY! I’m going to buy several pounds of sausage Sunday and will make a bunch of these for the freezer. This was EXACTLY what I was hoping for. Easy to make. YUMMY to eat as a snack or anytime.

Christy has a whole section of her website devoted to low carb recipes. I’m following her now, and will keep trying more of these as we have the time.
