Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 pound ground pork
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 ounces paleo cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, egg, almond flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a spatula until all the ingredients are well combined.
Step 3
Cut the paleo cheese into small cubes, about 1/2 inch in size.
Step 4
Take about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture and flatten it into a patty in your hand. Place a cube of paleo cheese in the center and carefully form the meat mixture around the cheese to seal it inside, creating a meatball. Repeat until all the meat mixture is used.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, sear the meatballs on all sides until they are browned, about 3-4 minutes per batch. This helps them hold their shape and adds flavor.
Step 6
Arrange the browned meatballs on the prepared baking sheet. Place them in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through.
Step 7
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy these delicious, cheese-stuffed meatballs alone or with your favorite paleo-friendly sauce.
