Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 0.5 pound Italian sausage
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 piece large egg
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and Italian sausage with your hands until well mixed.

Step 3

Add the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, and egg to the meat mixture. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 4

Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix until well blended.

Step 5

Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the meat mixture.

Step 6

Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on a plate or a lined baking sheet.

Step 7

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs in batches, if necessary, and sear them until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Once browned, transfer the skillet with the meatballs into the preheated oven.

Step 9

Bake the meatballs for 15-20 minutes in the oven until they are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the meatballs cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve the meatballs with your favorite low-carb marinara sauce or as a standalone dish with a side salad.
