one of my go-to dinner recipes is keto
meatballs it's one of those recipes where I always have the ingredients on
hand and it comes together really quickly so perfect for those busy and
nights and I have three hungry boys that I have to feed every night so this is
one recipe that they love so it's guaranteed to be a hit whenever I make
it today I'm not going to show you just one meatball recipe but I'm going to
show you five keto meatball recipes that you can make for dinner I'm going to
show you how to make my basic keto meatballs a taco meatball a pizza
meatball a buffalo chicken meatball and assess me ginger meatball all of these
can be made in the oven stovetop or the airfryer plus they're freezer friendly
so if you liked a meal prep you can make up a bunch pop them in the freezer and
have them later on in the week so you want to see how to make these five
recipes well let's get started one of the things I really like about
meatballs is that they're portion-controlled so they're all
roughly the same size about the size of a golf ball or a little bit smaller than
a golf ball maybe a ping-pong ball but you always know how many macros that
you're getting so if you're one that likes to track and like subtract net
carbs you can always know how many net carbs that you're getting in Perm
meatball and I have all of those listed down below in the description box all
the macros per meatball as well as on my website ketofocus.com now before
we get into the recipes don't forget to subscribe to my channel and hit that
notification that'll so that you guys get notified every time I post up a new
video all right the first meatball we're gonna
make today is my basic keto meatball now the meat that we're going to be using
for this meatball is we're gonna be using one pound of ground pork and one
pound of ground beef but you could mix it up if you want if you just want to
use all ground beef I've done that before it still tastes delicious or all
ground pork or any of these recipes actually I should just say this any of
these recipes you can mix up your protein so if you want to do ground pork
ground beef ground chicken ground turkey whichever one you want to do they're all
gonna be excellent in any of these recipes in a medium-sized bowl I'm going
to add my ground pork and ground beef we'll also need 2 cups of ground pork
rinds now the ground pork rinds that I like to use are these ones it's by bacon
heir and I'll have them listed down below on where you can purchase them they call
it pork panko and I love these because it's finely milled down but if you don't
have access to this or just want to go a less-expensive route you can purchase
just a bag of pork rinds and then grind them down yourself using a food
processor or just put it in a plastic bag and take like a rolling pin to it
and hammer it down until it's a finely ground consistency we're also gonna add
a heavy whipping cream 1/3 cup of finely chopped onions
one half cup of grated Parmesan cheese quarter cup of chopped parsley two
cloves of minced garlic and I actually like to use garlic paste
it's one of my cooking shortcuts rather than having to mince up some garlic so I
use about a teaspoon of this per clove so it would be two teaspoons of garlic
paste in this recipe then add two teaspoons of salt and one teaspoon of
pepper you want to mix these together either
using some clean hands or gloved hands or just use a wooden spoon to form our meatballs we're gonna form
them into a round ball that's about the size of a ping-pong ball or a golf ball now you can cook these however you want
they work beautifully on the stovetop if you want to put them in a skillet with a
little bit of oil and fry them up that way just cook them on each side for a
few minutes and gently roll rotate them around until they're evenly browned and
cooked through all the way or you can cook these in the oven I recommend using
a 425-degree oven for about anywhere from like eight to twelve minutes until
it's cooked all the way through I like to cook my neat balls in an air fryer
just because I feel like when that fat drips down it really just starts to
circulate and it gets all of your meatball nice and juicy and crispy so if
you're cooking this in an air fryer you want to cook it at around 400 degrees
for rounds like six to eight minutes so that's my basic keto meatball recipe I
like to serve these either with a cauliflower rice dish or you could put
them in with some shirataki noodles and have some spaghetti and meatballs
my youngest really loves that he loves spaghetti meatballs that's his favorite
meal up next we're gonna be making a taco meatball so this is perfect if
you're craving some mexican food but you're tired of the traditional quito
Mexican food fare this is your recipe to a medium bowl we're gonna add two pounds
of ground beef two cups of ground pork rinds 1/3 cup of sour cream one cup of shredded cheddar cheese two
tablespoons of taco seasoning and I have a recipe on my website for keto taco
seasoning it's very easy to make and something that you can make up in bulk
so that you always have a key to approved taco seasoning ready to go
you'll also need two minced garlic cloves 1/3 cup of finely chopped onions
a quarter cup of chopped cilantro one teaspoon of salt and one teaspoon of
pepper again mix these together until they're
combined form them into your meatball shape and bake them as instructed below now these meatballs are delicious on
their own but if you want to go one extra step let's make a sauce for them
to make a dipping sauce we're gonna add 1/4 cup of sour cream 1/2 a cup of keto
proof salsa make sure you check the back of the label and make sure it's the
lowest carb count possible and 2 teaspoons of hot sauce mix that together
and you can pour these over your meatballs or just dip them in this makes
the perfect appetizer too if you have a potluck or a gathering you're attending
the next meatball is my kids is favorite meatball because it's a pizza meatball
and so this is all of the ingredients of a supreme pizza going into a meatball to
a medium bowl we're gonna add 1 pound of ground beef and 1 pound of ground pork
two cups of ground pork rinds half a cup of shredded mozzarella cheese a half a
cup of grated Parmesan cheese 1/3 cup of finely chopped onions a quarter cup of
chopped mushrooms a quarter cup of chopped green bell pepper 1/4 cup of
black olives that's diced up and all of these ingredients you want to just
finely chop them as much as you can you don't really want to have big chunks in
your meatballs that's also a good way to sneak in some vegetables for your kids
you also need a half a cup of red sauce and the red sauce I'm gonna be using is
the one by Reyes but you can use any sort of keto approved red sauce that you
want I'll have some options listed in my website and you can't have a pizza
meatball without pepperoni so we're gonna add 1/4 cup of mini pepperonis if
you don't have access to the mini pepperonis then just slice up some
regular-sized pepperonis and throw them in there for seasoning you'll need 1
tablespoon of basil mix that together and form our meatball shapes up next we're gonna be making buffalo
chicken meatballs so this one of course is going to be using ground chicken as
our meat so in a bowl we're gonna add one pound of ground chicken 3/4 cups of
ground pork rinds 1 egg 1/4 cup of finely chopped onion 2 tablespoons of
finely chopped parsley 2 tablespoons of coconut flour 1 finely diced up celery
stock 2 tablespoons of ranch dressing 1 teaspoon of salt 1 teaspoon of garlic
powder mix all these ingredients together and shape them into your
meatballs you can cook these as instructed below
either in the stovetop oven or the airfryer but to get that buffalo flavor
we're going to be using buffalo sauce so we need to heat up some buffalo sauce in
a small saucepan over medium-high heat get that nice and warmed up and our
finishing step would be to pour over the buffalo sauce on our meatballs the last meatball I have is Aikido
asian-inspired meatball we're gonna be using ground pork for this one so in a
medium bowl add 1 pound of ground pork 1 cup of ground pork rinds 1 egg 1/3 cup
of finely minced green onion 3 tablespoons of freshly grated ginger 2
cloves of minced garlic 2 teaspoons of toasted sesame oil 2 teaspoons of liquid
aminos or you can use soy sauce but remember soy sauce does have carbs in it
and 1/4 teaspoon of salt again mix these together and form them into meatball
shapes and cook them according to the instructions below and I want to make a sauce to go with
these sesame ginger meatballs so in a saucepan I'm gonna add one tablespoon of
avocado oil 1/3 cup of liquid aminos 1 teaspoon of creamy peanut butter or you
can use almond butter or whatever nut butter you want to use 1 tablespoon of
brown swerve or golden monk fruit 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar 1 teaspoon
of crushed red pepper one teaspoon of sesame oil quarter teaspoon of garlic
powder mix these together heated over medium-high heat until it comes to a
boil and then we're gonna simmer it until the liquid reduces thanks for watching guys don't forget to
