Spicy Keto Sausage Balls Appetizer

My favorite part about the keto diet is the amazing food that you can eat every day without any guilt.

One of those foods I love is Keto Sausage Balls because they are so easy to make and full of flavor.

To change things up a bit from my usual I concocted these Spicy Keto Sausage Balls - and now it is hard to decide which is my favorite!

I have to admit, before starting keto, the very idea of sausage grossed me out. I am not a huge fan of processed meat.

But after a while of enjoying my Sausage Egg Bakes for breakfast, I decided to get a bit more creative, and made my Sausage Cheese Balls... and I have been hooked ever since.

There are a lot of Sausage Ball Recipes that use flour - but it is not necessary.

In fact, I use grated parmesan in place of flour in several recipes - like Fathead pizza dough!

It brings the carb count down significantly and adds even more flavor! A total win-win.

This recipe makes 24 bite-sized Sausage Balls that are great for snacking or to take to a party for a Keto Appetizer.

Each little sausage ball has about 1 carb each, so they are easy to work into your daily macros.

They are delicious alone or dipped into my Keto Ranch Dressing - which cools off the spice some for an amazing savory flavor.

It is a good thing they are so low in carbs - because I will warn you - once you start eating them, it is hard to stop!

MACROS

I plugged this recipe into my favorite Keto Calculator App - Carb Manager - and it came up with the following macros:

Each Spicy Keto Sausage Ball has 0 net carbs, 0 total carbs, 0 fiber, 8 g fat, 6 g protein, and 104 calories. This gives them an "A" rating!
