Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1 ½ lbs ground beef
  • 6 ounces sharp cheddar (grated)
  • ½ cup pork rind crumbs ((can sub almond flour))
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large jalapeno (diced)
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp pepper

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 375 and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of a large food processor, combine all of the ingredients. Process on high until well combined, scraping down the sides of the processor as needed.
  • Alternatively, you can mix everything in a bowl by hand, really working the ingredients together to form a cohesive mixture.
  • Roll into 1½ inch balls and place about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet (you will get about 32 to 36 meatballs). Bake 20 minutes, until browned and cooked through.
  • Serve hot.
