Two
skillets filled with tomato and Mozzarella cheesy goodness! We really
enjoyed this meal and I have made it again on another occasion, as it was worth
repeating, even although I am constantly having to come up with new recipes for
my blog and cookbooks.
CHEESY MEATBALL
SKILLET DISH
Our daughter-in-law, Yara
Eloff, gave me this recipe to try on a recent visit to our mountain-top home in
the jungle. Awesome! This recipe makes enough for two skillets with
12 meatballs in each one. This meal feeds a crowd, or you could freeze
one skillet for later, or simply halve the recipe, if you don’t require that
much food. Coconut flour is very absorbent of moisture and helps bind the
meatballs…therefore, no breadcrumbs are required. This is so tasty and
looks lovely too...good enough for company! Lovely with cauli-mash and
buttery, garlic green beans or another vegetable of your choice.
INGREDIENTS: 
2 lbs lean
ground beef (0.9 kg)
1/2 cup
grated Parmesan cheese (125 mL)
(the kind in a can is fine)
2 tbsp coconut flour (30 mL)
1 tbsp crushed garlic (15 mL)
2 eggs
2 tsp liquid smoke (10 mL)
11/2 tsp salt (7 mL)
1/2 tsp
black pepper (2 mL)
2 tbsp light olive oil (30
mL)
2 cups grated Mozzarella
cheese (500 mL)
INSTRUCTIONS:
In
large bowl, combine ground beef, Parmesan cheese, coconut flour and
garlic. In small bowl, beat eggs with
fork and add liquid smoke, salt and black pepper; beat again with fork to
combine well. Add to ground beef mixture
and combine well with your hands. Form
golf-ball sized meatballs. I used a
small ice cream scoop.
In
two skillets, in 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil per skillet, cook 12 meatballs per
skillet, over medium high heat, browning them on both sides. Reduce heat and add marinara sauce. Coat the meatballs in the sauce. Simmer over medium low heat until meatballs
are thoroughly cooked and no longer pink in the middle. Cover each skillet with 1 cup (250 mL) grated
Mozzarella cheese. Cover with a lid or
just simmer gently until the cheese melts.
Serve.
