There is something so comforting about spaghetti and meatballs, so creating a keto version was a top priority when I decided to start living a keto lifestyle.

Even though I have found the best low carb pasta, putting these keto stuffed meatballs in fresh spaghetti squash not only lowers the carbs, but ups the flavor and nutrients as well.

Once I figured out how to cook spaghetti squash, I admit I have been a bit obsessed with it. It is just so easy!

Plus it gives so much more flavor than traditional pasta! But whether you made spaghetti squash or pasta, these keto stuffed meatballs are a hit. I've even had them just alongside roasted vegetables!

You can also substitute almond flour for pork rinds, but I wanted to keep these as low carb as possible. You can choose to crush your own pork rinds, or I have recently found the Porking Good Pork Rinds which I've used in all kinds of great recipes.

These Keto Stuffed Meatballs can be cooked in less than 40 minutes if you have a pressure cooker, but are also perfect to let simmer on the stove if you have time to let them cook slowly.

Keto Stuffed Meatballs

  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 8 individually wrapped mozzarella cheese sticks
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup crushed pork rinds
  • 2 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
  • 32 oz spaghetti sauce of choice

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400*.

Begin my mixing ground meat, seasoning, pork rinds, parmesan cheese, and eggs in a large bowl until well combined. It is easiest to do with your hands.

Cut mozzarella cheese sticks into equal three part sections - a little over 1" long each.

Wrap a handful of the meat mixture around each piece of cheese stick and firmly press into a ball shape.

Place meatball in a muffin tin. Mixture will make 24 evenly sized meatballs.

Bake at 350* for about 15 minutes to sear.

Remove keto stuffed meatballs from oven and place in pressure cooker or large deep pan. Cover with spaghetti sauce.

If pressure cooking, cook on high for 20 minutes. If cooking on the stove, let simmer for 50-60 minutes or until meat is completely cooked through.

For spaghetti squash, carefully pierce with a knife on all sides. Place in a microwave safe dish with one cup of water and microwave on high for 15 minutes.

Remove and let cool. Gently cut in half and scoop out seeds. Using a fork, loosen up spaghetti squash strands before topping with prepared Keto Stuffed Meatballs.

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top and enjoy!
