Low Carb SAUSAGE BALLS Battle - The BEST Keto Sausage Balls Recipe!

[@kellydavis3108]

You should have your book displayed in the background!

[@RonJak73]

I’ve been doing the 5 ingredient ones for several months. They’re soooo good! They’re also super easy to customize. Change the breakfast sausage out for hot Italian sausage with Italian cheese instead of cheddar. So many options!

[@amynoora1340]

I also make this recipe with grated parmesan which is a great binder/filler. Thry are delicious! We also use ground chicken with mozzarella.

[@JM-kh1jm]

Chicken - great alternative! Thanks for posting about that. @@amynoora1340

[@Snoddyfam]

I make the five ingredient recipe during the holidays and my family LOVES them. I usually double the recipe and use 1 lb of regular sausage and 1 lb of hot sausage.

[@michaelsingletary4526]

Have a great weekend everyone from Tampa Florida. Just got your book off Amazon yesterday.

[@jimw7578]

weigh the mixture, then divide by 25, then make each ball that weight. So if you have 450 grams of mix/25 = 18 grams per ball. Instead of weighing out all 25, you should be able to eyeball the remaining.

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

Excellent tip! Thanks, Jim!

[@Java-Junky]

I made the almond flour one and used habanero cheddar cheese. Ohhh sooooo very good!!!

[@pammasters341]

Thanks Wes! I make a version of the one with almond flour. They are loved and asked for my family and my church group. Very much a doppelgänger for the bisquick recipe. Thanks for testing both.

[@stormwatch7245]

Im just not sure why you dont have 5 million subs yet. I LOVE your channel. It does all the work for sooo many of us. Thank you sooo much. I share everytime. ❤

[@LetsTalkSurvival123]

Mine are similar to the first recipe... But with spicy sausage, more sharp cheddar and one egg.

[@jodempsey3761]

One of my go to breakfast/snacks on low carb! I use Carbquick for mine using the Carbquick recipe. For a little zing I use spicy Italian sausage and pepper jack cheese. So good! Pack them up in sets of 5 in snack size bags and put in the freezer. I toss a bag in the microwave for 1 min and they are warm, thawed, and ready to take on the go. Thank you for reminding me how much I love these for a quick breakfast.

Your video inspired me to make these and they are AMAZING!! I love all of your content, bought your book now need to just become a patron!! ❤️❤️❤️

Pork panko is my filler of choice. I never even considered using cream cheese, but I will now. Thank you Wes.

[@lelandrogers1078]

I wonder if a little coconut flour would help the second one.

[@brendacooper8905]

Thank you!! I haven’t had a sausage ball in along time. Making them tomorrow!❤️❤️

You need one of those hard black tools that breaks up ground meat in the pan. Mashes avocado, "potatoes", or helps blend cream cheese into dough.

[@Msfelixthecatz]

Hi Wes! Why not substitute Carbquick for Bisquick? It works beautifully! I've even made Impossible Pie recipes using Carbquick (ketofying the recipes, of course) and they're just as good!

[@nightlady2001]

I'd forgotten about carbquick! I made biscuits and pancakes with it that were wonderful

[@roxanafloressantiago1848]

Nice! Haven't had one since I was a child. Will be making this one this weekend. Love your videos.

[@grannysquareswagonwheels2604]

I've made some keto sausage balls and I use my same "secret formula" that I used to use with the bisquick ones. I use a combination of mild & hot Italian sausage and then sharp cheddar cheese.

[@caseybrannon4975]

My wife uses maple sausage to make hers. And sometimes she'll use smoked gouda.

[@susansmith2112]

I use hot & mild sausage also. I like a little onion, cojack cheese, egg & almond flour. Soo good! I know the onion adds some carbs but i love the added flavor & I’ll cut back somewhere else during the day 😉

[@Pamela-B]

I’d love to see a keto version of Boudin. We love that stuff!!

[@lamoon1525]

They both look like a winner to me...perhaps one will fill one purpose and the other be more for adding to a meal. Thanks for a great set of recipes...I've been watching for you. (Your kitchen sure looks pretty!)

I've never heard of these sausage balls. Obviously my family needs a stern talking-to. They look awesome!

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

Haha! Git ‘em! 😜

[@JM-kh1jm]

Wes, I LOVE your channel and binge watch to learn all you share! I made the sausage balls from The Best Keto Recipes and they are indeed very tasty! The cream cheese in that recipe keeps these moist after baked and adds a richer flavor. I just bought your book from Amazon, Ketogenic Diet on a Budget: Shop Smarter, Batch Cook, and Eat Better. It's exactly what I've been searching for. I had no idea you'd written a book. It would be great if you at least include it's cover on your videos and where to purchase. I think many others besides me would be interested. However, I do see it's listed in your End Card. :) Thank you for all you do for the low carb community!

[@olderpennsylvanian-op2368]

Hope you are settling in at your new place, and happy to see your big smile again. Enjoying your cookbook, and I am sure I will be passing it around and recommending it.

[@cathysheahan7036]

Bless yer heart for doing this without a mixer!!!! I KNOW how hard it is to attempt something similar with a wooden spoon as well!

[@carriejorgenson5361]

I'm super excited because I would even make these and freeze them for breakfast for my kids! I think they would go great with just some fruit on the side or even with a couple of scrambled eggs!

[@debrarobertson6021]

I made the almond flour balls. Man! Those things are addictive! In my opinion much better than the “ original” balls. The only issue I had was there was a lot of grease and it looked like some of it was cheese. I think my next batch I will put on a rack and see if that helps. But even with that these are a keeper! You never steer me wrong!! Whenever I have a taste for something I check you out first cause I know you will give us the best to make. Thank you!!❤

[@Aurora3242]

What about using ground pork rinds? Thanks for your time, Wes, I appreciate your videos 🥰🤩😘

[@YarnellCrew]

I think I will try the 5 ingredient ones and change out the almond flour for pork rinds to drive the carb count down a little further and see how that comes out.

[@kathysolomon7618]

Thank you for the one without the almond flour. I want to make some for my 10 year old great grandson who is coming for a sleepover. He’s very allergic to nuts! I have used carb quick for my usual batch and they were very good!

Awesome, Wes! I love sausage balls! I thought the first recipe looked like the traditional bisquick version.

[@butwhytho4858]

Came for the comparisons; stayed cause I could relate n feel the excitement in each bite haha. You actually have convinced me to at least check out Thrive Market, so they picked a great influencer to sponsor too. I always skip ahead during most sponsor’s adds. Lastly I’m from the south (Louisiana) so I feel right at home listening to you say “y’all”. I’m amazed at how quickly u speak occasionally, yet enunciate crystal clear. Fantastic channel 👍💕👍

😂 I didn’t know this wasn’t shared across the country!! It’s a common holiday breakfast treat or gathering brunch style treat! It wouldn’t be Christmas morning in our house without the smell of sausage balls in the oven while we open gifts- A few other Christmas morning traditions in our house is I’ve usually made cinnamon roll dough and it’s also rising while we open- and turn on crockpot for some cheesy meaty dip because we like to nibble and chill Christmas morn and enjoy each other’s company, with juice/milk/specialty coffee rather than cook that day.

Domestic Geek on You Tube occasionally has low carb recipes and she has a sausage cheese biscuit using sour cream and almond flour - they are really good and make a great prepped breakfast. I have done the almond flour ball version as well but these seem easier.

[@horsebytes]

I enjoyed the video and have now made the 5 Ingredient Keto Sausage Balls. I really enjoy your channel and appreciate your hard work. Next time I make these, I will be tweaking the recipe a little for my tastes but it's a great starting point. Following the recipe as written, the balls are too big and too greasy for me. I would suggest adding more almond flour or some coconut flour (more binder of some kind) and making the balls half as big.

[@vyvoomvoom9641]

Oooh! Come back and let me know what you think! 👍🏻

[@vyvoomvoom9641]

I LOVED them! Glad I took your suggestion and made the recipe w almond flour. I think maybe finely diced chives would be good in it too. I used breakfast sausage from Aldi. A little salty for me. But still so good. I used a T scoop and had plenty of balls from recipe. I mixed with hands then used hand mixer to get it really mixed... definetly a party popper app to bring places.. now to check out other videos. Love the coconut pie you did back awhile too.. xo

[@zanavaughn4517]

I think pork rinds as filler is a great idea. I don't do well with almond flour. Let's give it a go!

[@luvfunstuff2]

I have always used ground up pork rind & egg for the filler & binder in my meatloaf and it comes out lovely. I think that'd be excellent here too, and even fewer carbs! Just be sure to catch any super-hard crunchy chunks before mixing it in.

[@makemesing714]

For the second recipe, i bet the mouth feel would be better if you used the Kraft grated parmasian cheese. I'd love to see that test.😊

[@slashroar]

We don't have "breakfast sausage" where I live, what is it exactly? What can I replace it with?

[@idoc-2]

It is ground pork with the spices already mixed in, which is usually fried in patty form as a breakfast meat. The spices in it are usually salt, black pepper, dried sage, dried thyme, garlic powder, paprika, ground fennel seeds, crushed red pepper flakes, and sometimes brown sugar is added. If you don't eat pork, you could use the same spices mixed into ground chicken or beef. You can Google "breakfast sausage recipes" and find the exact amounts of spices to mix into the meat.

[@marytandy4532]

I think a little spice would be nice. Dice up jalapeños and onion,
