A real food dinner shouldn’t be stressful or time consuming.
There are plenty of days when I need an easy recipe that pleases a crowd, nourishes the soul, and keeps all the bellies full. That is why I adore these easy grain-free meatballs! They are so much quicker than meatloaf and a lot more versatile! This recipe yields 30(!) 2-ounce meatballs, perfect for dinner and packable snack-able lunches. Serve them along side a simple steamed veggie with Homemade Probiotic Mayonnaise, with my Low-Carb Garlic Butter Cabbage Noodles, or on top of a beautiful bowl of Sourdough Pasta.
This same recipe will alternatively make 60(!!!) 1-ounce meatballs that are perfect as finger food for feeding partygoers. Serve them with everyone’s favorite sauce, Extra Creamy Low-Carb Ranch Dressing.

- If you are making 1oz meatballs watch them closely to make sure they don't overcook!

Notes
These meatballs can and should be made with the addition of nutrient dense organ meats. These meatballs have 10% ground beef liver and 10% ground beef heart in addition to the ground meats! A mixture of up to 25% pastured offal by weight is optional and encouraged!
