For some, odd, I can’t-explain-it reason, I was so intimidated by the idea of making meatballs. I know . . . call me weird. But, it felt like everyone had their own “special” or “secret” recipe, sometimes dating back generations of family. BUT – it turns out, most of those recipes don’t fall within Keto diet guidelines anyway!
While traditional meatballs are not keto, I’m here to help you with an awesome, SUPER easy, Italian Stuffed Keto Meatball alternative.
Typically, meatballs contain bread/crumbs as their main ingredient. This helps the balls maintain their shape. The presence of bread is a direct keto violation, but here’s a solution! (don’t be scared away by the number of ingredients – you just end up combining everything together! 🙂 )
Servings: 4
Split equally into 4 portions
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs Ground Beef
- 1 tsp Oregano
- 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
- 2 tsp Garlic
- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
- 3 tbsp Tomato Paste
- 3 tbsp Flaxseed Meal
- 2 Large Egg
- 1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese
- 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
- Salt & Pepper Sprinkled for Seasoning
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400F
- Mix meat and all other ingredients together
- Form into meatballs
- Lay on a foil covered baking sheet
- Bake for 20 minutes
- Serve over spinach with sprinkled mozzarella cheese on top
- Enjoy!
