Keto Meatballs

post-title

Going keto doesn't mean giving up the recipes you love, and these Keto Meatballs are a great example. Ditch the breadcrumbs and use Parmesan and mozzarella instead for a low-carb and tasty meal.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce with basil, garlic and oregano
  • 2 tablespoons prepared pesto
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Directions

  1. In a Dutch oven, saute red pepper and onion in oil until tender. Add the rice, garlic and chipotle pepper; saute 2 minutes longer. Add the broth, tomatoes and saffron. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the shrimp, chicken sausage and mango; sprinkle with lime juice and cayenne. Transfer to a grill wok or basket. Grill, covered, over medium heat until shrimp turn pink, 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add shrimp mixture to Dutch oven; toss to combine. Garnish with lime wedges and cilantro.
