Keto Baked Meatball Recipe

DIRECTIONS

If possible, have the butcher grind together the different meats. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after handling raw pork. 

1. Heat oven to 375°F. Thinly slice the onion and mince the garlic.
2. In a small skillet over medium-low heat, warm oil and cook onion and garlic for about 1 minute stirring frequently, until softened and aromatic.
3. Transfer to a bowl and mix in ground meats, cheese, eggs, salt, and pepper. Roll into golf ball-size meatballs, about 2 3/4 tablespoons each (or 16 meatballs for 4 servings). Place on a jelly roll pan. These may also be baked as larger or smaller meatballs depending on your use. For example these may be baked as smaller meatballs and served as cocktail meatballs as an appetizer for a party. Just consider baking them less if smaller or for longer if larger than the golf ball size.
4. Bake 20-25 minutes, until browned and cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Each serving is 4 meatballs (made from about 2 3/4 tablespoons meat mixture each).
