Keto Meatballs
I originally found a meatball casserole recipe over on a neighbor's blog and fell in love with it. After the third or fourth time making it, I decided to make some modifications to make this super keto lunch or dinner entree more my style and to my tastebuds. Not a fan of so much garlic? Cut it back. Want more, well, we should be friends. Feel free to use fresh parsley, we just never seem to be able have it on hand when I want to make meatballs. Everything else is 99.9% of the time already either in the fridge or in the pantry making this a go-to for us. Serve with a salad to make it even better for you.
Some Tips
- Don't overcook the meatballs. When they overcook, they get dry and they just aren't as good.
- Even my picky eater husband will eat these if you chop the onions fine enough.
- I love to make these on the weekend to eat throughout the week for lunch.
