🧀 Carnivore Mozzarella & Parmesan Meatballs

Zero carbs • Super filling • Juicy + Cheesy

---

🥩 Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20 or fattier is best)

• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 large egg

• 1 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional, but adds kick)

• 1/2 tsp onion powder (optional, or skip for strict carnivore)

• Pinch of black pepper (optional)

• 1 tbsp heavy cream or beef broth (optional for extra tenderness)

---

🔥 For Stuffed Version (optional):

• Cubes of mozzarella to stuff inside

---

🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, and seasonings. Mix until just combined — don’t overwork it.

3. Form meatballs: Roll into 1.5-inch balls. If you’re doing the stuffed version, press a cube of mozzarella into the center and seal it up.

4. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Internal temp should hit around 160°F (71°C).

5. (Optional): Broil for 1–2 minutes at the end to get a crispy cheesy top.

💡 Tips:

• Swap beef with lamb, pork, or a mix for flavor variation

• Add more Parmesan for crispier edges

• Want even juicier meatballs? Mix in a bit of beef liver pate or a spoonful of ricotta (if tolerated)
