Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground pork sausage
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork sausage, almond flour, shredded cheddar cheese, and softened cream cheese.
Add the egg, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly using your hands or a sturdy spatula, ensuring the mixture is well combined.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the mixture and roll it into 1-inch balls.
Place the sausage balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of at least 160°F (71°C).
Remove the sausage balls from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
Serve warm and enjoy! These sausage balls can also be reheated or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
