The Best Low Carb Sausage Balls (High-Protein, Low-Carb & Perfect for Busy Days!)

If you’ve been here awhile, you already know: I am Team Easy Recipes Only. If it’s not delicious, low carb, protein-forward, and simple enough to throw together on a busy weeknight… I’m not making it. 😅

And these Low Carb Sausage Balls? They check every single box.

They’re high in protein, low in carbs, super satisfying, and honestly… they taste like something you’d snag at a holiday party — except these support your goals instead of sabotaging them.

Perfect for meal prep, quick lunches, holiday gatherings, or a grab-and-go breakfast when life feels wild.

Let’s get into it. 👇

✨ Ingredients

This recipe makes 2 dozen sausage balls (24 total).

• 2 lbs breakfast sausage

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20)

• ½ onion, finely chopped

• 1 Tbsp parsley

• 1½ Tbsp minced garlic

• 3 eggs

• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

• 
  

🔥 How to Make Them

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.

2. In a large bowl, combine the breakfast sausage, hamburger, onion, parsley, garlic, eggs, and shredded cheddar.

3. Mix everything together until fully combined. (Hands work best!)

4. Roll into small balls — you should get about 24.

5. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 18–22 minutes, depending on how crispy you like them.

6. Let cool slightly and enjoy warm.

They’re great alone, dipped in sugar-free BBQ or ranch, or paired with eggs for a high-protein breakfast.

As a woman navigating perimenopause and learning how to calm cortisol and support my metabolism, I need meals that are:

• steady on blood sugar

• protein-focused

• satisfying

• and EASY

These sausage balls deliver all of that. Plus… my husband always steals half the batch, which tells you something. 😂
