This Keto Meatball Casserole is a delicious low-carb, grain-free dish featuring tender meatballs baked in a flavorful sugar-free marinara sauce and topped with gooey mozzarella cheese. Perfect for a comforting dinner that's both satisfying and keto-friendly.

Ingredients

Meatballs

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Sauce and Topping

  • 2 cups marinara sauce (sugar-free)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's at the right temperature for baking the casserole.
  2. Prepare Meatball Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, almond flour, egg, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Form Meatballs: Shape the mixture into evenly sized meatballs and place them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spacing them evenly.
  4. Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour the sugar-free marinara sauce evenly over the meatballs, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top to cover them.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the meatballs are fully cooked through and the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm as a hearty keto-friendly meal.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, try adding chopped fresh basil or parsley to the meatball mixture.
  • Ensure marinara sauce is sugar-free to keep the dish keto-compliant.
  • You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best texture and taste.
  • Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes after baking to allow flavors to meld.
