Ingredients
  • 3 TB friendly fat to cook in (butter, coconut oil, lard)
  • ½ green pepper, chopped
  • ½ onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup bread crumbs (I just dry out the ends of my soaked bread or bakery sourdough and blend up fine. Store in the fridge)
  • ⅓ cup cream
  • 1 lb grassfed ground beef
  • 1 egg
  • 1 ½ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • Seasoning depending on flavor you are going for. For spaghetti and meatballs I use a couple tsp of Italian seasoning, for meatballs and gravy I use thyme.
Instructions
  1. Sauté the onions and green pepper in the friendly fat with a pinch of salt to bring out their juices and sweeten.
  2. Add the garlic, seasoning and salt/pepper, and stir in for a minute.
  3. Put the sautéed veggies in a mixing bowl to cool off a little.
  4. Put the bread crumbs and cream in a separate bowl to soak in well.
  5. In the mixing bowl with the sautéed veggies, add the beef, eggs, and soaked bread crumbs and combine well with your hands.
  6. Roll into balls and drop into a hot pan with friendly fat and brown the sides a little – don’t cook all the way through.
  7. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with silpat or parchment paper.
  8. Bake through at 350 for 20 minutes.
