Keto Ground Pork Meatballs Mustard & Cheddar

Sharing is caring!

This Keto Ground Pork Meatballs recipe is a delicious combination of pork, cheddar cheese and mustard baked in the oven.

It sounds crazy, but the ingredients compliment each other nicely resulting in a juicy flavorsome low-carb pork meatballs dish.

I found the baked meatballs recipe hidden in one of my old cookbooks, which I used to write my recipes in alphabetical order.

When I started keto, it wasn’t hard to make the ground pork meatballs recipe as it’s close to the normal recipe but minus the breading to keep them low carb (the cheese and egg holds them together).

The addition of cheese & dijon mustard makes the meatballs fattier to keep the meatballs keto friendly.

This keto ground pork meatball recipe makes 8 serves.
