CHEESY MEATBALL SKILLET DISH

• servings: 24 meatballs/8 serv

Ingredients

2 lbs lean ground beef (0.9 kg)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (125 mL)

(the kind in a can is fine)

2 tbsp coconut flour (30 mL)

1 tbsp crushed garlic (15 mL)

2 eggs

2 tsp liquid smoke (10 mL)

11/2 tsp salt (7 mL)

1/2 tsp black pepper (2 mL)

2 tbsp light olive oil (30 mL)

Marinara sauce (Click for recipe)

2 cups grated Mozzarella cheese (500 mL)

Directions

In large bowl, combine ground beef, Parmesan cheese, coconut flour and garlic. In small bowl, beat eggs with fork and add liquid smoke, salt and black pepper; beat again with fork to combine well. Add to ground beef mixture and combine well with your hands. Form golf-ball sized meatballs. I used a small ice cream scoop.

In two skillets, in 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil per skillet, cook 12 meatballs per skillet, over medium high heat, browning them on both sides. Reduce heat and add marinara sauce. Coat the meatballs in the sauce. Simmer over medium low heat until meatballs are thoroughly cooked and no longer pink in the middle. Cover each skillet with 1 cup (250 mL) grated Mozzarella cheese. Cover with a lid or just simmer gently until the cheese melts. Serve.
