Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 pound Ground pork
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, and the large egg. Mix until well combined.
Add almond flour, onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture. Use your hands to mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Form the mixture into about 16 meatballs, each approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
Heat coconut oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the meatballs to the pan. Fry in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Cook the meatballs for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure they are browned on all sides and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F as measured by a meat thermometer).
Remove the meatballs from the pan and drain any excess oil by placing them on a plate lined with paper towels.
Serve the meatballs warm as a main dish or appetizer. Enjoy!
