Low-Carb Sausage Balls

Home » Keto » Carnivore Diet/Zero Carb Diet » Carnivore Diet Recipes » Low-Carb Sausage Balls
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Mixed up in one bowl and popped in the oven, these delicious cheesy sausage balls are sure to please in your family! A protein-rich appetizer can also make a fun finger-food dinner main dish.

Serving suggestions:

Pair with lightly sauteed snow peas, a green salad, or broccoli salad for a complete dinner.

Ingredients and Equipment

When choosing ground pork, I always recommend sourcing local heritage-breed pork that is raised on its natural diet with lots of access to the outdoors. If you don’t have good pork locally, I highly recommend either US Wellness Meats, or Butcherbox for their heritage-breed pork that is sustainably raised. I didn’t think I liked pork until I tried good pork!

Bake these on a stainless steel shallow-sided baking sheet so that they can go under the broiler.  I recommend parchment paper to minimize cleanup without using potentially-harmful aluminum foil.

  3. Use your hands to mix in pork and cream cheese until mixed through.
  4. Roll into approx 1-inch balls (about 1 tablespoon of the meat mixture).
