Keto Low Carb Cream Cheese Sausage Balls
This Sausage Balls recipe has cream cheese which helps to keep them from becoming too dry. They are moist and delicious. There is no Bisquick mix or any other boxed mixes in this recipe.
Tips For Making Keto Cream Cheese Sausage Balls
- You can use mild or hot sausage depending on your preference. Or a combination of both. I usually use mild sausage.
- I always freshly grate my cheese from a block of cheese. I have not tried this recipe using pre-shredded cheese.
- Use parchment paper on cookie sheet for quicker clean up.
- For consistent sizing of sausage balls use a cookie scoop.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!! This is my new favorite breakfast!! I added a couple teaspoons of garlic – So good!!
Hi Martha! So glad you liked it! Thanks for commenting and adding garlic was a great idea!
I just made these. So great! Before eating keto I made the Bisquick version. This is so close to that one. I used hot sausage and sharp cheese. I also stirred it together by hand using a wooden spoon. Pretty easy mixing. Used a small 1T cookie scoop. So easy. I will freeze most of them and pull out what I need and bake or microwave as needed. I get so tired of bacon and eggs so I’m really excited to find this recipe. I had tired another recipe that didn’t have the flours. Not nearly as good. Thanks so much for sharing.
Hi Stacy. Thanks for commenting. So glad you liked them!!
Do you cook the sausage first??
Hi Nicole! You don’t cook the sausage first. Hope you enjoy it!
I was wondering the same thing only because I have to watch my cholesterol also. I think I want to try it by browning the sausage for about 5 minutes then draining a little of the grease because pork sausage give off tons of grease and I’m sure cooking it halfway would reduce it some.
The recipe looks delicious and Thanks Judy. I can not wait to try it.
Kathy how did they turn out when you cooked the sausage first and drained it?
These look amazing and perfect to take to a party. Do you have or know the nutritional information; net carbs, for example?
Hi Andrea! I don’t but I am working on getting the nutritional recipe card that will calculate it.
Just made these, and they are delicious! My fiancé is diabetic and takes it seriously, so I’m always looking for low carb, low sugar recipes. This fits the bill and they are so good! He’s going to love them!
So close to regular sausage balls, I can take these to parties & know I have a good snack!
I made these with smoked cheddar cheese and they were amazing!!! Thank you Judy for sharing!
Hi! So easy love them. Just started keto and needed something else!
How do you suggest storing them, do you leave in fridge?
Thanks!!
Hi Kali! I do store mine the refrigerator.
