Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 0.5 lb ground pork
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1.5 cups low-sugar marinara sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Scoop out small portions of the meat mixture and roll them into 1 1/2-inch diameter meatballs. Arrange the meatballs evenly in a large oven-safe casserole dish.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15 minutes until they are starting to brown.
Remove the casserole dish from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
Pour the low-sugar marinara sauce evenly over the meatballs, ensuring they are fully covered with sauce.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the top of the marinara-covered meatballs.
Return the casserole dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly, then garnish with fresh chopped basil leaves.
Serve the Keto Cheesy Meatball Casserole warm, and enjoy!
