Ingredients

For the Meatballs

  • 2 pounds ground beef I used 80/20
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup onion minced or grated
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoon basil fresh, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoon parsley fresh, finely chopped
  • cup Parmesan cheese shredded or grated
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 1-2 tablespoon water

For Cooking

Toppings

  • Parmesan
  • Fresh Basil

Instructions

  • In a large bowl add the ground beef, eggs, onion, garlic, basil, parsley and parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined.
  • Then add the salt and pepper. Next add the almond flour and heavy cream. Mix until the meat mixture is easily able to form a loaf. If the mixture is too dry add the water 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Next form the meat into 2 inch balls. Place these aside on a large plate or tray.
  • In a large cast iron skillet, heat up the avocado oil over medium heat.
  • Add some meatballs but be sure to not overcrowd the skillet. Brown the meatballs on all sides and cook until the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 165F with a meat thermometer.
  • Transfer cooked meatballs to a paper plate and cook the rest of the keto meatballs. Once all have been cooked, add desired amount of keto spaghetti sauce and meatballs to the cast iron skillet.
  • Cook until the sauce is warm. Top with parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
