Easy Keto Meatballs Recipe
Easy Keto Meatballs Recipe
We don’t follow a Keto diet by any means but we definitely eat a lot of meat.
We raise our own steers and I would say that ground beef is probably what I cook with most around here. I’ve had quite a few Keto recipe requests and this Easy Keto Meatballs recipe is on that definitely qualifies and is also fantastic for those who don’t follow a Keto diet.
This makes it a great meal choice if you have guests following the diet but want to make something that can be enjoyed by all.
My favorite thing about it? It’s SO easy and I usually double the recipe because we love the leftovers for lunch or dinner the next day.
Meatball Ingredients:
1 pound of lean ground beef
1/2 pound of lean pork (you can also use ground turkey or chicken if you prefer)
1/2 C. shredded Parmesan cheese
1 egg
1 tsp. dried Oregano
salt & pepper
1 medium spaghetti squash (optional)
Homemade Marinara Sauce:
24 oz can of tomato puree
2 tsp. minced garlic
2 tsp. minced onion
2 tsp. dried Oregano
2 tsp. dried parsley
Directions for making Keto Meatballs
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the ground beef, pork, shredded Parmesan cheese, 2 tsp. minced garlic, egg, oregano and salt & pepper. I used my hands to get everything mixed really well.
Roll the meat mixture into 2″ meatballs and place on a baking sheet or baking dish. (At this point in time I actually freeze 1/2 of the meatballs on a separate baking sheet and then place in a large freezer bag and put back into the freezer)
Place the meatballs in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes.
While the meatballs are baking, combine the tomato puree, minced garlic, minced onion, dried Oregano and parsley in a medium saucepan.
Heat through and let simmer while the meatballs are cooking.
*Makes approximately 2 dozen 2-3″ meatballs.
If you are looking for variation, these meatballs would also go wonderfully with my homemade pesto zoodles recipe!

*If serving with spaghetti squash, cut the squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Fill an 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish with 1-2" of water. Place the spaghetti squash rounded side down in the baking dish and heat in the microwave for 15-20 minutes. Remove and let cool a few minutes and then gently scrape the squash from the shell. Serve with meatballs if you wish.
