Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork using your hands or a wooden spoon.
Add the egg and almond flour to the meat mixture and mix until well combined.
Stir in the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll into a ball using your hands. Place the meatball on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, spacing the meatballs slightly apart.
Drizzle olive oil over the meatballs to help them brown nicely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and nicely browned on the outside.
Remove from the oven and let the meatballs rest for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy the Whole30 Cheesy Meatballs as they are, or serve them with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
