Ingredients Analysis: Our Low Carb Enchilada Meatballs are crafted from simple yet flavorful ingredients that come together to create a symphony of taste and texture. Ground beef serves as the hearty base for the meatballs, while an egg helps bind the mixture together. Grated real cheddar cheese adds a creamy richness, while taco seasoning infuses the meatballs with a spicy kick. A blend of onion powder, salt, and black pepper enhances the overall flavor profile, creating meatballs that are bursting with savory goodness. For the sauce, a sugar-free enchilada sauce provides the perfect balance of tangy sweetness without compromising on carb count.
Instructions:
Preparing the Meatballs:
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, grated cheddar cheese, taco seasoning, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Shape the mixture into approximately 15 meatballs and place them on a foil-lined baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs for 25 minutes or until they are cooked through and browned on the outside.
Assembling the Casserole:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Pour 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce into the bottom of a small baking dish or cast iron skillet, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
Arrange the cooked meatballs in the dish, nestling them into the sauce.
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the meatballs, ensuring that they are well-coated.
