Going keto doesn't mean giving up the recipes you love, and these Keto Meatballs are a great example. Ditch the breadcrumbs and use Parmesan and mozzarella instead for a low-carb and tasty meal.
Ingredients
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1 garlic clove, minced
1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
SAUCE:
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce with basil, garlic and oregano
2 tablespoons prepared pesto
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
1Make the meatballs
2Preheat the oven to 350°F. Combine the Parmesan, mozzarella, egg, heavy whipping cream and garlic in a large bowl and then add the beef. Mix everything thoroughly but lightly; don't overwork the mixture. Grease a large rack that fits in a 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Shape the beef mixture into 1-1/2 inch balls and place them on the rack. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until cooked through. The meatballs should reach 165° internally.
3Make the sauce
4Mix the tomato sauce, pesto and heavy whipping cream in a small saucepan and heat through. Serve with the meatballs.
