so that they are all even in size. You can also make smaller meatballs if you preferred and would get about 24 meatballs from this recipe, just make sure to use a small cookie scoop for the smaller sized meatballs. This is up to you and will still taste great either way! I just recommend decreasing your cooking time by about 5 minutes or so if you choose to make smaller meatballs.
This keto meatball recipe is my absolute GO-TO and there are no breadcrumbs added (making them gluten-free as well!) which is great because who doesn’t love avoiding those extra carbohydrates?? You could also cook these meatballs right in your Instant Pot too, which I have been loving using lately! It saves so much time with easy clean-up and everything just tastes so dang good. Let me know in the comments section if you’d like to see more Instant Pot recipes on the blog!
This meatball casserole can easily be prepped the night before so you can just pop it in the oven whenever you’re ready to serve it. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for in the refrigerator so this is great for meal prep!
This recipe is also a great freezer meal and can be stored in your freezer for up to 3 months before baking. Simply thaw it out in your fridge overnight before baking the next day and you’re good to go!
