This homemade Italian sausage is a keto-friendly replacement for the store-bought kind that can contain unnecessary fillers and additives. It’s super easy to make at home whenever you need it.
In many places, most sausages and ground sausage sold at butchers and stores contains something called “meal” to keep the sausage moist and give it texture. Unfortunately, meal is spices and filler (either wheat or rice-based) and not something we want to eat on a low-carb keto diet.
The recipe makes Sweet Italian Sausage. To make a spicy mix, add 2 teaspoons of Red Pepper Flakes, and you’ll have Hot Italian Sausage.
