In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl with the meat.
Add the sweet paprika, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and baking soda to the meat mixture.
Pour the sparkling water into the mixture and mix thoroughly with your hands until well combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the meat mixture for at least an hour to let the flavors meld.
After resting, shape the meat mixture into small sausage shapes about 3 inches long and 1 inch in diameter.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the Chevapchichi in batches, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes per batch.
Remove from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the Keto Chevapchichi with a side of keto-friendly vegetables or a low-carb salad.
