Ingredients
  

Mini Meatballs (~30)

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ¼ cup almond flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • salt & pepper, to taste

Dip Ingredients

  • 1 cups marinara
  • ½ cup ricotta (can sub for dairy free or cottage cheese)
  • 1 ½ cups mozzarella, shredded (1 cup to top, ½ cup to mix in)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350℉ and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine the meatball ingredients, then roll into small meatballs (~1 tsp or so in size) ensuring the sizes are consistent.
  • Space out the meatballs on the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Once they are done baking, leave the oven on and add the meatballs, marinara, ricotta and ½ cup of the mozzarella to an oven safe skillet, cast iron skillet, braiser or baking dish and gently mix to combine. Then top with the remaining mozzarella.
  • Bake for 5 minutes or so to melt the cheese on top. Then, garnish with Italian seasoning, fresh basil, a sprinkle of parmesan, etc. (or really anything you wish!). Serve with warm, toasted bread or baguette and enjoy!
