About
These beef-based meatballs are fattened up with mayo and mixed with heaping portions of thin-sliced pepperoni and chopped spinach. Each meatball has extra flavor and tender texture from the pepperoni, and a little green from the spinach acts as a healthy filler. Eat these with keto zoodles, your favorite keto sauce, or melt mozzarella cheese over the meatballs.
Ingredients
- 20 ounce ground beef
- ¾ ounce pepperoni
- ¾ ounce spinach
- 2 tablespoon mayonnaise
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon mustard powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with chopped thin-sliced pepperoni, finely chopped basil, mayo, and all the seasonings.
- Line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Create 22-24 meatballs that are approx. 1 ½ inches wide and arrange on the sheet tray.
- Bake the tray of meatballs for 20 minutes, no rotating required! At your discretion, you can bake the meatballs on a baking rack set over a tray to allow excess fat to drip – this should not change your baking time.
