Low Carb Sausage Cheese Dip
My big kids love any kind of cheese dip. As we have transitioned to a healthier lifestyle, I have looked for foods I know that they would enjoy. Although they aren’t strict Keto or Low Carb, we have overall reduced the number of carby foods in our home.
I remember having a similar dip to this Low Carb Sausage Cheese Dip when I was younger, and as I was brainstorming fun foods I could make that would be especially great for football season, holiday parties, or even summertime get-togethers this Sausage & Cheese Dip came to mind.
Finding something to use to dip in the Low Carb Sausage Cheese Dip was a challenge, but pork rinds and celery pair nicely. Both are sturdy enough to hold a good amount of Sausage & Cheese Dip, and they have a nice crunch as well. Of course, my kids thought it was kind of weird at first, but they loved the Low Carb Sausage & Cheese Dip so much it was worth it. Not to say they won’t have chips again, but you have to start experimenting somewhere.
