SAUSAGE AND CHEESE MUFFIN LOAVES

This was such an easy dish to throw together for supper tonight.  Turned out quite tasty and we decided they are keepers.  This went really well with my Creamy Corn and Cauli Casserole which you can find on Page 203 of Low Carbing Among Friends, Vol. 2, and a lettuce and kale salad.

SAUSAGE AND CHEESE MUFFIN LOAVES                    

1 pound  Jennie-O turkey sausage (breakfast)
1 large  egg
1/4 cup  almond flour -- (I used Honeyville)
1/4 cup low carb Barbecue Sauce
1/2 teaspoon  salt
2 sticks  smoked string Cheese, (Baker is the brand I use)
2 tablespoons  Real Bacon Bits
2 tablespoons  Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.  In small bowl, combine turkey breakfast sausage, egg, almond flour, Barbeque sauce, and salt.  Mix together well.  Divide evenly into 12 greased muffin tins.

Cut string cheese sticks into 12 equal pieces by cutting into 3rds first and then each 3rd cut in half.  Place 1 piece in the middle of each muffin.  Sprinkle each with 1/2 tsp of bacon bits, and then 1/2 tsp each of Parmesan cheese.

Bake 30 minutes.

Variation: You can use pork sausage or ground beef or turkey as well if you prefer.  Nutritional info would change.
