Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds ground beef 85% lean 90% lean
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast if dairy sensitive
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
  • Celtic sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups mushrooms finely chopped
  • 3 cups Primal Kitchen Marinara Sauce OR Kettle and Fire beef broth

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine beef, onions, garlic, eggs, cheese, seasoning, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Blend chopped mushrooms into meat mixture. Slowly add the broth or marinara sauce, 1/2 cup at a time. The mixture should be very moist but still hold its shape if rolled into meatballs. Shape into meatballs. Arrange in a single layer on a large, shallow baking sheet. Bake meatballs in the preheated oven 35 minutes, turning occasionally, until evenly browned.
  • Serve with Zoodles or Cabbage Noodles and your favorite no-sugar added marinara!
  • My suggestion is to only serve the sauce on the noodles you will eat that night. The leftover noodles and sauce get a little soggy, so reserve both separate.
