ingredients you need

This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for this tomato sausage balls recipe, what each ingredient does, and substitution options. See recipe card below for measurements.

• Almond powder – This is our Bisquick Ketogenic Sausage Ball Alternative.I highly recommend using Wholesome Yum Almond Flour Here, because it’s whitened and super fine, this creates the best texture. The roughness of other brands may vary.If you want to use coconut flour instead, you can try 1/2 cup coconut flour instead of 2 cups almond flour (yes, 1/4 the amount because coconut flour is very dry!) ​​If you want to try this instead of one Nutless option.
• grated cheese – Makes the sausage ball recipe cheesy and also helps keep them together.I like to use sharp cheddar for flavor, but you can use mild cheddar, or any other ketchup you like. I recommend medium firm cheeses (like cheddar) over very hard cheeses (like Parmesan).
• Italian seasoning – Add flavor.You can use store bought or make my 5 minutes Homemade Italian Seasoning. If you like the heat in the dressing, add 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes.
• baking powder – Makes the keto sausage balls fluffy so they are less dense.I like this brandwhich is non-GMO.
• ground sausage – Use any sausage you like – ground pork sausage, mild or hot Italian sausage, breakfast sausage, or even ground chicken or turkey sausage.
• cream cheese – I say the best sausage balls are cream cheese! I recommend regular full-fat cream cheese. However, savory varieties, such as garlic and herbs, also work well.
• garlic – Optional, but recommended. I prefer to use (two) fresh garlic cloves, but you can substitute 1/2 tsp garlic powder if you prefer. You can also add 1/2 tsp onion powder.
