Mozzarella Stuffed Meatballs

written by Low Carb Way Of Life | January 23, 2022

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef 90% lean
1 cup crushed pork rinds
1 large egg
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon oregano
6 ounces mozzarella cut into 12 small cubes
1 cup marinara
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Add the ground beef, pork rinds, egg, cream, water, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano to a medium mixing bowl and mix well with clean hands to combine.

Separate the meatballs into 12 separate chunks and form each piece into a small patty.

Place a piece of cheese in the center of each patty and carefully fold the edges up around the cheese to seal it in. Be sure to seal the meatball completely around the cheese so it does not leak out while baking.

Place the meatballs in a 12-inch cast iron skillet or in a 9×13 baking dish that’s been sprayed with non-stick spray.

Bake for 15 minutes. Remove meatballs from the oven and spoon the marinara evenly over each meatball. Sprinkle with parsley just before serving.

Servings: Serving Size = 3 meatballs
