How To Make Copycat Olive Garden Meatballs. 1 1½ lb ground beef, preferably chuck. 2 ½ lb ground pork. 3 2 eggs. 4 ¾ cup breadcrumbs, plus more as necessary. 5 1 tbsp Italian seasoning. 6 ½ tsp garlic powder. 7 ¼ tsp onion powder. 8 ⅛ tsp dried oregano. 9 1 tbsp fresh parsley. 10 ¼ cup red wine, preferably Chianti.
"Great for people who enjoy Olive Gardens soup without the carbs." Fry bacon in a medium/large size skillet; drain fat, put on plate and let cool. In the same skillet cook the sausage and set aside ( I put it on the back burner). In a large soup/stew pan put cook onions until tender and clear. Add in garlic and cook for a minute.
It’s hard to find a dish at Olive Garden that does not contain pasta or bread. We recommend sticking with grilled meat or fish and a side salad or steamed broccoli to keep it low-carb. Olive Garden has a grilled salmon dish that contains 4 grams of net carbs.
Combine all the meatball ingredients in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Then, scoop the meatball mixture into ¼-cup sections and roll each one into a tight ball. Sear the meatballs in a skillet on medium-high heat for 3 minutes, turning them as they sear to get good color on all sides.
