low-carb-sausage-balls
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:
- In a large mixing bowl, place all ingredients. Mix with an electric mixer until well combined.
- Use a cookie dough scoop or two spoons and spoon out onto lightly greased baking sheet.
- Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
- 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.
