Mmmm, comfort food... We also made meatball sandwiches (using protein buns).
2 pounds grass fed ground beef
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 eggs
1 cup freshly grated Romano cheese
1 1/2 TBS Italian seasoning
Celtic sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups mushrooms, finely chopped
1 cup beef broth
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine beef, garlic, eggs, cheese, seasoning, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Blend chopped mushrooms into meat mixture. Slowly add the broth 1/2 cup at a time. The mixture should be very moist but still hold its shape if rolled into meatballs. Shape into meatballs. Arrange in a single layer on a large, shallow baking sheet. Bake meatballs in the preheated oven 35 minutes, turning occasionally, until evenly browned. Serve with Miracle Noodles or Cabbage Noodles and your favorite no-sugar added marinara! Makes 8 servings.
