Meatballs Parmigiana 🎉🎉
INGREDIENTS
For the meatballs:
1.5lbs ground beef
2 Tbl fresh parsley, chopped
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup almond flour
2 eggs
1 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried onion flakes
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/2 cup warm water
For the Parmigiana:
1 cup sugar free marinara
4 oz mozzarella cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
Combine all of the meatball ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
Form into fifteen 2″ meatballs.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes OR fry in a large skillet over medium heat until cooked through.
Pro-tip – try frying in bacon grease if you have any – it adds another level of flavor.
Frying produces the golden brown color shown in the photos above.
For the Parmigiana:
Place the cooked meatballs in an oven safe dish.
Spoon approximately 1 Tbsp sauce over each meatball.
Cover with approximately 1/4 oz of mozzarella cheese each.
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes (40 minutes if meatballs are frozen) or until heated through and the cheese is golden.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
