Ingredients for Keto Sausage Balls

1. Blanched Superfine Almond Flour: This type of almond flour is necessary in keto baking because it’s the closest thing to actual flour, and it add great texture, plus it helps hold the mounds together.

2. Hand Shredded Cheddar Cheese: Store-bought shredded cheese contains more carbs because it has potato starch added to keep the shreds from sticking together in transit. It’s best to always hand shred from a block of cheese. It may be extra work, but you’ll thank me later since the taste will be amazing.

3. Italian Seasoning: I put this seasoning on literally everything. It’s the perfect blend of spices all in one convenient bottle. It’s the lazy way, but it’s also the saving my sanity way!

4. Baking Powder: Whatever you do, don’t use that dusty baking powder in the back of your pantry. Chunky baking powder does not make for a great baking companion. The absolute best brand I’ve found is Rumford. It’s a little red tin, and it’s found at most grocery stores.

5. Garlic Powder: Another staple for cooking in general. I add to my dishes a little more garlic powder (and fresh minced garlic cloves) than I care to admit, but it’s so delicious!

6. Cream Cheese: Use your favorite cream cheese brand, but if you don’t have a preference, I recommend finding one that had the lowest net carbs per serving.

7. Jimmy Dean’s Breakfast Sausage: This ingredient gets a lot of hate because it contains a miniscule amount of not so friendly keto ingredients like sugar & corn syrup. If you are concerned about this, any fresh pork sausage will work for this recipe.
