Ingredients

Scale

For the Sausage Balls

  • 1lb ground Sausage, any type. 
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese, brick form, not whipped at room temperature.
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese, I prefer orange so that it shows up better in the balls.
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 cup Almond Flour
  • 1 Tbsp Minced Onion
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • ¼ tsp Salt

 

For the Dip

  • 2 Tbsp Mayonnaise, preferably Helman’s
  • 2 Tbsp Sour Cream
  • 2 Tbsp Mustard, preferably stone ground
  • 1 tsp Dill, fresh or dried 

Instructions

Notes

1.5 NETS Carb for each ball.

Chilling the mixture for about 15 minutes in the refrigerator will make it easier to roll them into balls. 

Use a scoop to measure out the portions so that they will bake evenly.

Do not over mix them or overcook them or else they will be rubbery or dry.

If you use melted butter in the balls make sure not to add it right away to the mixture or else the egg will start to cook.

Make sure your cream cheese is at room temp so that it will blend better.

Storing: It is so easy to store your sausage balls in the refrigerator, cooked or uncooked. Just place them in an airtight plastic container. If they are uncooked then cook them in a day. If they are already cooked then they should be good in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

Reheating: To reheat your sausage balls, the microwave is the fastest. In 1-2 minutes they will be piping hot and juicy. Be sure to cover them. Also heating them in the oven is simple to do in a baking dish covered with foil, at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes should do the trick.

Freezing: When the sausage balls are stored in the freezer, place them in a plastic container and then into a Ziploc baggie. You could always reverse this step by putting individual portions into a plastic Ziploc bag and then place all of them into an airtight container.

Just remove them one baggie at a time and thaw in the refrigerator overnight or pop them into a covered baking dish in the oven frozen, and heat at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.
