Grain Free Italian Meatballs Recipe
Author: 
 
Ingredients
  • 1 pound of ground beef
  • 1 pound of ground pork
  • 1 cup of onion, finely diced (about 1 medium onion)
  • 1 cup of mushrooms, finely diced (you can substitute any vegetable(s) here!)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • pinch or two of red pepper flakes
  • sea salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 heaping tablespoons fresh basil, finely chopped
  • 2 heaping tablespoons fresh oregano, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup romano or parmesan cheese* (leave out for dairy free or Whole30)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl until well mixed.
  3. Shape into desired size meatballs.
  4. Bake on a rimmed baking sheet for 25 minutes or until thoroughly cooked.
  5. Enjoy!
Notes
If freezing: place meatballs on a single layer on a baking sheet. Freeze for 1 hour or until hardened (this prevents them from sticking together). After they are completely frozen, place them in a freezer safe container. This allows you to get as many as you need out of the freezer without them all sticking together!


Serving suggestions:

Serve with homemade pasta sauce or an organic store bought version like THIS one.
Serve with lightly sauteed zucchini or squash noodles or with a baked spaghetti squash.
