Whether you’re looking for an appetizer dish for entertaining, or an easy source of weekday protein: these meatballs are it. Besides tasting amazingly addictive, these little guys are packed with nutrient-dense, high-quality beef.
 

Try these as a bite-size snack on game-day, or serve them with dinner over Tomato Basil Meat Sauce.  If you’re prepping to eat healthy during a busy week, try freezing a batch after they’re cooked. Then, just pop a few in the microwave to thaw before eating.

 
 
I made these last weekend for my family to snack on while we watched football playoffs on Sunday (go 49ers!). The recipe makes about 50 small meatballs, & there were no survivors… I’d say they were a hit 😉

Hope you enjoy ’em too, & please let me know what you think!
 

 

 
P.S.~ I recently got into Instagram! (late on the bandwagon, I know) I’ve been posting lots of Paleo meal/snack pictures, workout ideas, & other fun things too… go find me, & let’s be friends 🙂
