Easy Low Carb Meatballs

Baked low-carb juicy meatballs covered in your favorite low-carb sauce are so flavorful and tender. The perfect comfort food.

When I started eating low carb, I knew I would have to change some of my favorite meals to fit that bill. Meatballs were certainly one of them.

But what about the pasta? Honestly, when you make these meatballs with a yummy sauce on top, you don’t really miss the pasta. You could serve this over Spaghetti Squash, but Mr. G and I are loving our meals without all those filling carbs.

You could use different meats for this recipe. Ground turkey, sausage, and beef are the obvious choices. But, most of the time I use just plain ground beef. Adding sausage does make the meatballs have more flavor.

So lets get to it!

I just throw all the ingredients in one bowl and mix together with my hands. Hands make the best mixers for sure.

I line a sheet pan with foil for easy clean-up and use a small cookie scoop to form meatballs. Roll each meatball between your hands to get a nice ball shape. Using the cookie scoop is the easiest way to get the same size meatballs for even cooking.

Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. I then add my favorite low sugar spaghetti sauce to a pan with a lid and add the meatballs one at a time to the pan to simmer in the sauce. Cover with a lid and let simmer for several minutes on medium heat which gives me time to make a salad for the side.

I’m working on a recipe for some Low-Carb Garlic Sticks to eat with these meatballs. I can’t wait to share that with you soon.

  1. Oh yum, these meatballs look incredible! I am excited to make them the next time we have spaghetti.

  2. I could try these to spice up my usual spaghetti. Perfecto-especially with a fresh salad on the side!

  3. These meatballs sound delicious. We sometimes make them with minced pork or a combo of pork and beef. The meat used really can change the flavour around so much. I must try your version x5 stars

  4. These sound amazing. I love meatballs. I love how simple they are to make too. I’ll have to give these a try soon.

  5. Yum, you are making me hungry now. These meatballs look so good I’ve never tried making homemade meatballs before but the ones in the freezer section don’t always taste well. I can’t pinpoint why but I’m assuming they use more panko or flour in the meatball as filler.5 stars

  6. Wow! These meatballs looks absolutely delicious and tasty! Can’t wait to prepare this for my family!

  7. These look delicous! I wonder if they would be good with turkey or chicken. I can’t eat beef but I am willing to try it with something different!
