Low Carb Enchilada Meatballs (Keto Friendly)

Directions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the ground beef, egg, grated cheddar cheese, taco seasoning, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly until everything is evenly combined.
Shape: Form the mixture into approximately 15 evenly sized meatballs. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart so they cook evenly.
Bake: Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the meatballs are fully cooked through and lightly browned on the outside.

Lower the Oven Temperature: Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Dish: Pour a small amount of enchilada sauce into the bottom of a small baking dish or cast iron skillet, spreading it evenly to prevent sticking.
Add Meatballs: Place the cooked meatballs into the dish in a single layer. Spoon the remaining enchilada sauce over the top so each meatball is lightly coated.
Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the meatballs, covering them evenly.
Bake Again: Return the dish to the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
