Description
These carnivore meatballs are made with ground beef, crushed pork rinds, and sour cream for juicy, flavorful bites that are low-carb and filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup crushed pork rinds
- ½ cup sour cream or heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional, depending on how strict you are)
- ½ teaspoon onion powder (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Crush pork rinds until fine — you can use a food processor or place them in a bag and smash with a rolling pin.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, eggs, crushed pork rinds, sour cream, and seasonings. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.
Roll into 1 ½-inch meatballs and place on the baking sheet.
Bake 18–20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use a cookie scoop to make uniform meatballs — they’ll cook evenly.
- Don’t overbake — meatballs dry out quickly, so check for doneness at the 18-minute mark.
