Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ground beef. Opt for grass-fed or organic ground beef whenever possible for the best flavor and nutritional value.
  • Use a food processor to grind your own meat. This will give you more control over the texture of your meatballs and ensure that they are evenly ground.
  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing can make the meatballs tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a wet hand to form the meatballs. This will help to prevent the meat from sticking to your hands.
  • Brown the meatballs in a skillet before adding them to the sauce. This will help to develop their flavor and prevent them from falling apart in the sauce.
  • Use a sugar-free, low-carb marinara sauce. There are many brands of sugar-free marinara sauce available, or you can make your own.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite low-carb sides. Some popular options include cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

These keto meatballs and sauce are a delicious and satisfying low-carb meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Serve them with your favorite low-carb sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
