Chicharron Keto Meatball
Since this gastric bypass revision I feel like I am on Keto trying to get as much protein in as I can. If we are cooking at home or out to eat, meatballs are my go to if they are an option.
I know it sounds strange, but I have a hard time digesting meat - after all this time still. In this recipe, the meat is really soft and now that I found 4505meats, I can add extra protein with these crumbles and replace the all carb bread crumbs with 0 carbs sea salt chicharrones! ( I will be honest, I ate some out of the bag with a spoon....like eating chicharrones without the mess on your shirt)
How freaking genius is that??? Not only is it WLS (weight loss surgery) friendly, it's also Paleo friendly too. Here's the recipe that came on the back of the back. I will have to say that this Gluten Free, Paleo friendly meatball recipe will not disappoint!
