Ingredients

  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 small onion
  • 1 cup cauliflower rice
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon basil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350° and spray your cookie sheet/baking pan with cooking spray.
  • In a mixing bowl, mix together the lean ground beef and eggs.
  • Mince or chop the onion, and stir it into your beef mixture.
  • Mince the already steamed cauliflower into cauliflower rice (you can also use a food processor or blender to do this).
  • Add the cauliflower rice and parmesan cheese to the meat mixture.
  • Next mix in all of your herbs and seasonings, including the oregano, basil, fresh minced parsley, sea salt, and ground black pepper. 
  • At this point, you can keep stirring with a large fork; or get your hands into the mixture and mix it all together really well.
  • Take small amounts of the meat mixture and roll into meatballs, about 1 to 2 inches in diameter. You can also use a scoop for this. 
  • Place all the meatballs on your cookie sheet. 
  • Bake at 350° for about 35 minutes or until they're entirely cooked through and up to temperature.
  • Serve with spaghetti, as an appetizer, etc.
