Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 pound Ground pork
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Marinara sauce (low carb)
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, egg, Parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Mix thoroughly with your hands or a wooden spoon until all the ingredients are well combined.
Roll the mixture into approximately 1.5-inch meatballs and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until they start to brown.
While the meatballs are baking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the low-carb marinara sauce to the skillet and simmer for 5 minutes.
Remove the meatballs from the oven and gently place them into the skillet with the simmering marinara sauce.
Reduce the heat to low and let the meatballs simmer in the sauce for another 10 minutes.
Transfer the meatballs and sauce to a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the meatballs.
Return the casserole dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
