Print Recipe

A delicious keto-friendly meatball casserole with ground beef, pork, and melted mozzarella cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 recommended)
  • 1/2 lb ground pork (optional, for extra juiciness)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup almond flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 cups sugar-free marinara sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (whole milk melts best)
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil (plus extra for garnish)
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, mix ground beef, ground pork, Parmesan, almond flour, egg, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes until just combined.
  3. Roll into 1 1/2-inch meatballs and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Bake meatballs for 15 minutes (they’ll finish cooking in the sauce).
  5. Spread marinara sauce in the baking dish. Nestle the partially cooked meatballs into the sauce.
  6. Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over the top, then add Parmesan.
  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly and meatballs are cooked through.
  8. Optional: Broil 1–2 minutes for extra browning. Garnish with fresh basil and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use whole milk mozzarella for best melting.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes for desired spiciness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
