Ingredients
Sausage Balls Ingredients
- 1 pound ground sausage (mild or spicy)
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the sausage balls evenly.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground sausage, egg, shredded cheddar cheese, almond flour, and baking powder. Use your hands or a spoon to mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
- Form Balls: Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them evenly spaced on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm as a snack or appetizer.
Notes
- For a spicier version, use hot Italian sausage instead of mild.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with mozzarella or pepper jack for different flavors.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- These sausage balls can be reheated in the oven or microwave before serving.
- To make them dairy-free, use a dairy-free cheese alternative.
