Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 pound Italian sausage
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and Italian sausage with your hands until well mixed.
Add the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, and egg to the meat mixture. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix until well blended.
Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the meat mixture.
Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on a plate or a lined baking sheet.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs in batches, if necessary, and sear them until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Once browned, transfer the skillet with the meatballs into the preheated oven.
Bake the meatballs for 15-20 minutes in the oven until they are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the meatballs cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the meatballs with your favorite low-carb marinara sauce or as a standalone dish with a side salad.
