I’m wondering if onion is included in your macros. You mention it in the directions but it’s not in the ingredients list.
Also curious about how much pepperoni you’d recommend in using it in place of the thin beef sausages (I only have access to thick beef sausage–like a kielbasa). Thanks! I appreciate your sharing recipes😀

Let me check macros for the recipe- regardless onions aren’t too high carb and in the amount we are using them they should not effect the carbs too much. I will follow up with you as able!
If you’re substituting pepperoni you can use any amount that looks and tastes right to you- consider starting with 3-4oz of pepperoni. This recipe is really flexible and almost any vegetables and/or protein can be substituted. Let us know how yours turns out!
