Quick & Easy Meatball Recipe

Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Low Carb & High Protein

Everyone loves a great meatball recipe and they are so versatile in the kitchen. Instead of cooking the meatballs in the oven, drop them carefully into a wide, deep pot of marinara sauce.... Mix things up by substituting 1lb (500g) lean ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef as a lighter alternative.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

Preheat the oven to 400F (200C).

Place all the ingredients apart from the bacon in a bowl, season with salt and pepper and mix well using your hands. Once everything is well combined, form 12 meatballs the size of a golf ball (use a ¼ cup for measuring).

Wrap each meatball in a slice of bacon and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 mins. For the last 4-5 mins set the oven to grill/broil to crisp the outside.
