Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 lbs of ground beef with 1 cup of crushed pork rind crumbs. You can crush the pork rinds by placing them in a Ziploc bag, and using a rolling pin to crush them finely.
- Add in ½ cup of grated parmesan cheese.
- Mix in 1 ½ tsp of Italian seasoning and ½ tsp of Basil.
- Toss in salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir in 3 cloves of minced garlic.
- Pour in 1 beaten egg.
- Combine the ingredients together by mixing with your hands until they are well incorporated.
- Form the meat mixture into 24 equal meatballs, and place them into the bottom of a greased casserole dish.
- Bake the meatballs for 30 minutes, draining off any excess fat or juices when they are done.
- Top the cooked meatballs with 1 ½ cups of low carb marinara sauce.
- Sprinkle with 1 ½ cups of Mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for an additional 10 minutes and serve over a bed of spinach or your favorite noodle substitute.
