In a large bowl, combine ground beef, almond flour, parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix the ingredients until well combined.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the vegetables simmer for 15 minutes, or until they are just tender.

Carefully return the browned meatballs to the pot. Simmer for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
