Sausage Cheeseballs (Keto, Low-Carb, GF)

Times, they are a-changin’ for my little family!

I am one proud mama. I have two great kids, and they are both moving on to bigger adventures in June. Oh, I knew they would spread their wings and fly, I just never imagined it would be within days of each other.

Wes is marrying the love of his life in June. He has lived at home throughout college and early career. Wes is a teacher and a coach and has a passion for both that I never imagined he would when I was struggling with him to get homework done or study for tests. He has found a perfect mate, and I wish them nothing but happiness forever.

Savannah does not live at home and has only lived here on and off while in college. She is graduating with her master’s degree in May and starts a new job in Atlanta on June 3rd. She is a go-getter, and I know she will be a fantastic CPA, running her own company in no time. However, it’s one thing for her to live just down the road a bit, but this move will put her hours away. No more going to lunch or dinner together on a whim. I hope all her dreams come true.

Savannah recently shared this Low-Carb Sausage Cheese Ball recipe with me. She is a great cook and takes more risk than I ever have in the kitchen. They are delicious with only one net carb per cheese ball. Refrigerate any leftovers.

Course Appetizer, Breakfast, Keto
Author Amye Melton

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. breakfast sausage cooked, crumbled & drained
  • 4 oz. cream cheese softened
  • 3 lg. eggs beaten
  • 1 c. shredded Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/3 c. coconut flour
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉.
  • While breakfast sausage is still warm add the cream cheese and mix to combine, until there are no cream cheese clumps left.  Allow to cool slightly.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, blending well after each.  
  • Stir in cheese, coconut flour and baking powder until well incorporated. 
  • Set aside for 5 minutes.  The coconut flour will continue to absorb moisture so if it seems runny at first, it won't be.  
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Using a small scoop place the sausage balls on the baking sheet.  
  • Bake for 18 to 20 minutes.  

Notes

Makes 28 cheese balls.

Hi, I'm Amye. I started Not Just Sunday Dinner in 2011 after moving back to Georgia. I grew up in North Georgia and have lived in different parts of Georgia most of my life. After living in Florida for five years we moved back to Georgia in the summer of 2009. I've always loved Georgia, but now Florida holds a special place in my heart as well. I have been married for 26 years to a wonderful man, Greg. We have two children, Wes, 21 years old and a third year college student, and Savannah, 18 years old and a freshman in college. Greg and I have started "dating" again. Since the kids only want to see us when they need money
