Flavorful
Description

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)
  • 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce with basil, garlic and oregano
  • 2 tablespoons prepared pesto
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Add beef; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into 1-1/2-in. balls. Place meatballs on a greased rack in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake until cooked through, 15-20 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, mix sauce ingredients; heat through. Serve with meatballs.
