Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 pound ground pork
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, almond flour, nutritional yeast, and egg.
Add the onion powder, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper to the mixture, and mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Form the mixture into meatballs, approximately 1.5 inches in diameter. You should end up with about 16-18 meatballs.
Heat the coconut oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the meatballs in the skillet, leaving space between each one. Sear them for 2-3 minutes per side until browned.
Transfer the skillet with the browned meatballs to the preheated oven.
Bake the meatballs for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let the meatballs rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve these Paleo Cheesy Meatballs warm, either on their own or paired with your favorite paleo-friendly dipping sauce.
