Description

Keto Meatballs are a low-carb twist on a classic family favorite, perfect for weeknight dinners and meal prep.


Ingredients

  • 16 oz ground beef (85/15)
  • 16 oz Italian sausage (ground)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (grated finely)
  • 14 oz pizza sauce
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese (grated)
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Combine all ingredients for the meatballs, then roll into balls.
  3. Heat oil in a pan on high and sear each meatball, browning only a side or two.
  4. Remove meatballs, lower the heat to medium, and add tomato paste, cooking for about 10 seconds.
  5. Add pizza sauce, combine with tomato paste, and return meatballs to the pan.
  6. Top meatballs with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, then bake uncovered for 20 minutes until cheese is browned.

Notes

Chill the meat mixture if sticky. Don’t overwork the meat when mixing for tender meatballs.
