Oven-baked paleo meatball recipe with homemade dry garlic rib sauce added to the mix for a super delicious, moist meatball.
This meatball recipe has been in my family for generations.

I'm ready!When I was 7, Mom told me that my children’s, children’s, children would be making these meatballs, far after I’m gone.
Intense? Maybe. But after you’ve made these meatballs for you and your family, you’ll totally agree with my Mom.
I had to switch things around a little to make the recipe healthier::
… extra-lean beef instead of regular
… homemade dry garlic rib sauce instead of the high sugar store-bought stuff (and girl, the sauce recipe is AMAZING!)
… almond flour instead of breadcrumbs
… fresh parsley instead of dried
This recipe is a win.
Oh, and; unlike serving these meatballs with toothpicks and dipping sauce, I sandwiched them in a “sweet potato bun” — a grain-free, antioxidant-rich alternative to the classic meatball sub.
Again, win.

Almond flour or meal will do just fine in this recipe. Another ground flour may be good, too!
Just look at how thick and authentic the dry garlic rib sauce is. I’ll for sure be making the recipe again and using it on a rack ‘o ribs!

What recipe has been in your family for ages that you either still make, or haven’t made in awhile because of your food allergies or sensitivities?
Feel free to share the recipe in the comments. I’d love to check it out, see if I can offer some suggestions on how to make it safe ;)
