1 lb ground breakfast sausage pork or turkey
8 oz cream cheese softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup almond flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine sausage, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
Mix thoroughly using your hands or a sturdy spoon until ingredients are well incorporated.

Let cool slightly before serving. Serve with sugar-free ranch or spicy mustard for dipping if desired.
