I found that putting them in vacuum sealed bags keeps them from getting freezer burned so quickly too. For this low carb meatball recipe you’ll need: ground beef, ground pork, eggs, Parmesan cheese (in the green can), dried basil, dried oregano, salt, garlic granules, dried thyme, and black pepper.
Whether you prefer your meatballs baked or fried, my keto low carb meatballs recipe produces the best Italian meatballs which are tender just like mom’s. Gluten-free and great for keto diets, too. Add the beef and pork to a medium bowl and break up into smaller chunks, aiming for an even mix.
A low carb and gluten free recipe for giant Italian meatballs. Combine all of the meatball ingredients in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly, but gently, until the mix is completely blended. Form into 4 softball sized meatballs (or 8 smaller meatballs). Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes (25 minutes for the smaller ones).
Mom uses a combination of beef, pork, and veal as well as breadcrumbs to make tender Italian meatballs. She flavors them with onion, garlic, fresh parsley, and Parmesan cheese. She adds a raisin to the center to make the meatball sweet. I do, too, but it’s optional. Since this is a low carb meatballs recipe, I omit the breadcrumbs.
