Instructions
How to Make Kielbasa Bacon Bites
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large skillet, cook Kielbasa over medium heat until brown and cooked thoroughly. Remove Kielbasa and set aside.
- Cut the bacon into small pieces and cook in a large pan over medium high heat until bacon is crispy. Set bacon aside and leave the grease in pan
- Add sliced onions to the pan with bacon grease and saute until golden brown.
- Add the bacon and Kielbasa back to the skillet with onions and pour the BBQ sauce over top stirring making sure everything is fully coated and allow to simmer for a few minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Make the Fathead Dough
- Add mozzarella cheese and cream cheese in a bowl and microwave for 45 seconds. Stir. Put back in microwave for another 45 seconds.
- Beat eggs and add to mozzarella and cream cheese plus add in almond flour and mix.
- Knead with hands until dough forms.
- Lay a piece of parchment paper down, add the dough to the top and then lay another piece of parchment paper on top of the dough.
- Roll out the dough until it’s about a ½ inch thick. (If there is too much dough you may need to separate it in half and repeat the steps of rolling it out.)
- Take off the top parchment paper and leave the bottom one for the dough to set on.
- Using a knife cut the dough into 24 mini squares and big enough to fit in muffin tin.
Assemble the Cups
- Spray a 12 count mini muffin tin with cooking spray. Place a square over top each muffin tin and press down gently to form little cups. Spoon the Kielbasa mixture on top of the dough until the cups are full.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 15 – 20 minutes, or until dough is completely done, and golden brown.
- Garnish with parsley, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
Recipe Tips & Variations
- Make it spicy by adding some heat using hot sausage, chopped jalapenos in the mix or Cajun seasoning.
- Don’t have Kielbasa on hand? Swap out for any kind of smoked sausage.
- Don’t want to make it keto? Swap out fathead dough with frozen phyllo or pizza dough and use regular BBQ sauce.
- Save time by making these up ahead of time! Just follow the directions, store appropriately and reheat the next day.
