This post is for meatball lovers everywhere! Who doesn’t love meatballs? I sure do. Meatballs turn inexpensive ground meat into something tasty and exquisite. They make a great appetizer, can be used in soups, casseroles, or served with a sauce. Both children and adults devour these tasty morsels of flavor. 

Typically, meatball recipes include ground meat and other ingredients such as onions and other seasoning to add flavor. Eggs help bind the mixture and keep the meatballs from falling apart.

Often, meatball recipes use breadcrumbs, oatmeal or other high carb ingredients. Sometimes cooks soak these ingredients in milk or other liquid to form a panade. These ingredients help hold in the moisture and keep the meatballs tender.

Since these traditional grain ingredients are too high in carbs to use for low-carb diets, all of these low-carb meatball recipes use low-carb alternatives. First of all, some substitute low-carb breadcrumbs. In addition, many simply leave out the high carb ingredients and use other methods to keep the meatballs tender. Finally, others use vegetables like cauliflower rice or eggplant instead. 

This selection of low-carb meatball recipes encompasses flavors and variety from around the world. Therefore, some of the flavor combinations are familiar, but other recipes have a truly exotic flare. In conclusion, there is something for everyone in this collection of low-carb meatball recipes. Enjoy!
