Mix one pound ground beef with one raw egg and 1/2 cup pork rind crumbs. Add 2 teaspoons dried oregano and 2 teaspoons dried basil. 1/8th teaspoon onion powder and 1/8th teaspoon garlic powder. Salt and pepper to taste.
Roll into balls and fry on medium low heat, turning frequently until cooked through.
I eat these with a few tablespoons of low carb tomato sauce. In the Minneapolis area, there is a brand called Buon Giorno (www.summitfoodsusa.com/buongiornoproducts.php ) $4 at my local grocer CUB Foods, $2.50 on sale. Only 4 net grams carbohydrate per 1/2 cup. The marinara is my favorite. They have 4 flavors.

Thanks Brenda! My boys love meatballs, and I would prefer to make them at home. Just needed a simple recipe like this one! :open_mouth:

Hey…I see 9 meatballs in the pan, and Floyd gets 4. So, Brenda…that means you get 5…seems fair, YOU made the meatballs, not Floyd!!

If I was going to hire a personal chef, it would be @Brenda.

Do the pork rinds “add” anything flavor wise? Hubs loves them, I loathe them… are they just the binder(?) @Brenda

Yes. Binder only. You cannot taste them.

Pork rinds are such a great keto tool.
