Ingredients

2 pounds lean ground beef I used 88%
1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
4 garlic cloves grated
1/2 small yellow onion grated
1/4 cup marinara I use homemade or Rao’s
2 tablespoons fresh chopped rosemary
2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
2 tablespoons fresh chopped basil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
2 large eggs lightly beaten

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix well, do not over mix or you will have tough meatballs.
Using a 2 tablespoon scoop, portion out meat and place on baking sheet. After all meatballs have been scooped onto the tray, roll into balls and place back onto the baking sheet.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, until the meatballs are browned and cooked through.
Remove and transfer to sauce or serve immediately.

Notes

To adapt this for carnivore with herbs, you can use 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ¼ cup heavy cream in place of the marinara. You can also use 1 tablespoon dried Italian Seasoning in place of the fresh herbs.
