Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 unit Egg, large
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 ounces Mozzarella cheese, cubed
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Marinara sauce, keto-friendly
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Take about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture and flatten it into your palm. Place one cube of mozzarella cheese in the center and gently shape the meat around the cheese, forming a ball. Repeat the process with the remaining meat and cheese.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs to the skillet and brown them on all sides, about 5 minutes in total.
Once browned, pour the marinara sauce over the meatballs.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and the cheese is melted.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the meatballs cool slightly before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
