Low Carb Meatball Casserole Recipe Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (I used 85/15 blend)
• 1 lb spicy pork sausage
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella
• 1/2 cup grated or shredded parmesan
• 1/2 cup crushed pork rinds (substitute for breading)
• 2 egg
• 2 tsp onion powder
• 2 tsp fresh minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning blend
• Low Carb Red Sauce (Spaghetti or Marinara)
• 2 Cups Cheese for the top of the casserole
• Fresh basil for a topping

This recipe makes between 25 and 30 meatballs depending on the size you make them.

One thing that we want to mention is the Rao’s Sauce seen here on Amazon is an excellent choice for no sugar added marinara sauce!  This is our number one asked question for this recipe!
