These keto meatballs are just like meatballs I love from pizzerias. They are cheesy, mixed with sausage and a flavor packed, robust sauce. They can be made numerous ways with a great, healthy recipe every time!

Ingredients
 

Meatballs

  • 16 ounce 85/15 ground beef
  • 16 ounce ground italian sausage
  • 2 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan Cheese

Sauce

  • 14 ounce pizza sauce
  • 2 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup Italian cheese blend

Topping

  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F
  • In a frying pan on high heat add a little oil and sear each meatball. Don't crowd the pan just cook in batches. You are only searing a side or two, they will finish cooking in the oven.
  • Remove the meatballs then add in tomato paste and cook it about 10 seconds before you add in the pizza sauce. After you add in the pizza sauce toss in the Italian blend cheese. Allow everything to mix together then add the meatballs back into the dish and remove from the heat.
  • Cover tops of the meatballs and the sauce with shredded mozzarella cheese. Place in preheated oven uncovered for 20 minutes. Bake until cheese has browned. If meatballs are normal size they will be cooked through at the 20 minute mark. Each serving should give you 4oz of meat.
