    Keto Meatball Casserole

    Today's Keto Meatball Casserole recipe is full of meaty cheesy goodness. And each serving has just 4g net carbs.

    Low Carb Keto Meatball Casserole

    “We don't need another hero, we don't need to know the way home. All we want is life beyond the Thunderdome.” - Tina Turner

    Good morning. Guess what song I have stuck in my head today? Yep, it’s the theme from Mad Max, sung by the Queen, Tina Turner. I’m about to share my recipe Keto Meatball Casserole, but not before passing on this ear worm. Apologies in advance.

    But if you’ve never seen Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, then you really owe it to yourself to watch it.

    It’s a dystopian classic. I was too young to watch it when it came out in 1985, but I made a point to see it as an adult. Luckily, Tina Turner’s music video for “We Don’t Need Another Hero” will give you a taste of the awesomeness of this movie. (video below)

    And speaking of awesomeness, today I made a killer Keto Meatball Casserole.

    First I baked up some meatballs made from ground beef, sausage, almond flour, parmesan cheese, eggs and a little water to steam the meat. (That makes for a very tender meatball.) I topped them with sugar-free marinara sauce and melted mozzarella cheese over the whole shebang. And voilà, I had a tasty meatball casserole with only 4g net carbs per serving. It’s hearty, meaty and very cheesy.

    Not unlike Mel Gibson as Mad Max, now that I think about it.

    • Prep Time: 15
    • Cook Time: 30
    • Total Time: 45 minutes
    • Yield: 8 1x
    • Category: Entree
    • Method: Baked
    • Cuisine: Italian
    • Diet: Gluten Free

    Ingredients

    Units Scale

    Meatballs:

    • 1 pound ground beef
    • 1 pound breakfast sausage
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
    • ¾ cup super fine almond flour
    • ¾ cup water
    • 3 large eggs, beaten

    Toppings:

    • 2 cups Rao’s Sugar-Free Marinara Sauce or equivalent sugar-free sauce
    • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

    Instructions

    Step 1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and cover 2 large cookie sheets with aluminum foil.  Grease a 9 x 13 or 7 ½ x 11 inch casserole dish.

    Step 2.  In a large bowl, mix together all meatball ingredients.  You’ll need to squish the mixture through your fingers to fully combine it.

    Step 3.  Use a cookie dough scoop to scoop out balls of meat and place them on the cookie sheets.

    Step 4.  Bake for 20 minutes until browned and firm.  Remove the meatballs from the oven and increase heat to 400 degrees F.

    Step 5.  Use a spoon to carefully remove the meatballs from the released fat and add the meatballs to the casserole dish.  If you use the larger casserole dish, you should have one layer of meatballs, and if you use a smaller dish, you’ll have two layers.  

    Step 6.  Pour marinara sauce over the meatballs.

    Step 7.  Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.

    Step 8.  Bake for 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling.

    Step 9.  Serve immediately.

        I'm not sure that I counted how many meatballs went into this casserole, sorry. Each serving is 1/8 of the casserole though, so you should be able eyeball it. Or you could weigh it out. Each serving should be a little more than 1/4 of a pound.
