Cheesy Keto Sausage Balls! This easy-to-make recipe combines the savory flavors of ground pork sausage and shredded cheddar cheese with the nutty taste of almond flour for a perfectly cheesy and satisfying snack.
Cook Notes:
- If you’re not a fan of pork sausage, feel free to swap it out for ground beef, turkey, or chicken.
- You can use any type of shredded cheese that you prefer. Mozzarella, pepper jack, or a Mexican blend would all be great options.
- Almond flour can be expensive, so feel free to make your own by grinding up blanched almonds in a food processor until they reach a fine consistency.
- If you want to add some extra flavor, try mixing in some chopped green onions, garlic powder, or red pepper flakes to the sausage ball mixture.
