Easy 3-Ingredient Sausage Balls
These are the balls on the plate. Golden rounds, cheese melted into the tops, and one broken open to show the sausage inside. Three ingredients. No Bisquick. No sugar. One serving is about 190 calories, 14g protein, and 3g net carbs. The full plate is the picture, not one serving.Use a breakfast sausage or ground pork sausage you have checked. A sweet sausage has sugar and misses the card. Shredded cheddar is the second ingredient. Almond flour is the third. It holds them together the way Bisquick does in the regular version, without the carbs.Mix, roll, and bake. Twenty-five minutes covers the shape and the bake. They should be golden on the outside and cooked through in the middle.

The Secret to the Hold
Almond flour is what keeps them together. Too little and they fall apart. Too much and they dry out. A handful is enough for a pound of sausage and a cup of cheese. Roll them while the mix is cool. Warm hands melt the cheese and the balls stick to your palms.Prep Time: 10 mins
