Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef I use 85%
  • ½ pound ground pork
  • 1 ¼ cups Sugar-free BBQ sauce divided
  • 1 cup sugar-free raspberry sauce puréed and seeds strained out
  • ⅓ cup onion finely minced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 whole eggs beaten
  • 2 tablespoons oat fiber see notes
  • 1 ½ tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ cup water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Add the onions, garlic, eggs, parsley, oat fiber and 3 tablespoons of the bbq sauce in a mixing bowl, then whisk to combine.
  3. Add in the ground beef and pork and mix just until combined, but do not over mix or the meatballs won’t be as tender.
  4. Using a cookie scoop, form the meatballs and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using this scoop makes exactly 35 meatballs.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes or until they start to brown and hold their shape.
  6. Pour the remaining bbq sauce, raspberry sauce and water into a small mixing bowl and mix to combine.
  7. Add in the meatballs the bowl of your slow cooker. If you have a 6 quart like mine, they will all fit perfectly in one layer.
  8. Pour the bbq sauce and raspberry sauce mixture over the top. Gently stir so that all the meatballs are coated in the sauce.
  9. Cook on high for 2 hours (or low for 3-4 hours), stirring a few times in between. Serve with toothpicks for easy grabbing.

Notes

  • If you don’t have time to make my Raspberry Chipotle BBQ Sauce and Raspberry Sauce for this recipe, you can use your favorite Keto friendly bbq sauce and sugar-free raspberry jam. The flavors will of course, be different, but it will still work.
  • You can also make the sauces and meatballs in advance, then put them in the crockpot when you are ready. Or you can make the entire recipe in advance and just heat them up before serving.
  • You can also fry the meatballs, instead of baking them. I’ve found that baking them makes them cook more evenly and allows them to hold their shape better.
  • Oat Fiber is made from grinding the outer husks of oats. How healthy is oat fiber? It's pure insoluble fiber, which doesn't dissolve in water and isn't broken down in the digestive tract, so it has zero net carbs and is perfect for a Keto Diet. It helps give a more traditional texture and that's why I use it so often. Check out all the Keto Oat Fiber Recipes you can make!
  • To get the best results, it's best to use oat fiber if you can. If you're unable to find it, try a combination of psyllium husk powder and coconut flour. Since both are very absorbent, you might have to add more liquid.
