Meal Prep Saturday! Here we go with another EASY, healthy, delicious recipe. This one's a goodie! I should know too because I've been hooked on  meatballs lately. Breakfast meatballs and low carb zucchini parmesan meatballs have made regular appearances since I started cooking for two. Actually, the boyfriend's getting to the point where he just knows every week we're eating meatballs at least one night.

These Meal Prep BBQ Meatballs are extra special because not only are they delicious, they come with a hack that will change your meal prepping meatball life!

You ever feel like making the same size meatballs is a challenge? Well, I've got a hack that makes it easy to make the perfectly sized meatballs every single time. A mini muffin tin! It helps you roll them into the perfect size every time, and bonus they bake perfectly in the oven in less than 15 minutes. Watch the video below to see how easy it is!

These are loaded with potato, low sugar BBQ sauce and a homemade BBQ spice mix. It's like eating meatloaf and potatoes in meatball form. For the recipe, I used cassava flour which gives it that potato taste. Most other flours (other than coconut) can be substituted. Just note the nutritional difference. Enjoy!

Notes

  • I used cassava flour which is Paleo friendly. Almond flour, oat flour or a basic Gluten Free flour would wok too.
  • Nutritional data is for one meatball. For the meal prep containers, I added healthy potato tots from Sprouts & green beans. Nutritional data does not reflect this so be sure to this.
  • My Amazon shop has more products similar to those used for this recipe and that I recommend to my nutrition clients.

    This is a truly great and finger-licking lunch idea, Megan! Is it possible to use red onion when preparing the recipe?
