These are a must try, and yes, I made them in the crock pot but you can also bake these in the oven as well. Here’s the recipe:
Mix together (use your hands)
2lbs grassfed ground beef
1lb of pork sausage
chopped celery, onions, and carrots
3 eggs
1/2 cup almond meal
lots of dried oregano, garlic powder, cracked black pepper, and a little cayenne
small drizzle of raw honey
Form into large meatballs and cover bottom of crock pot, you might have to stack them depending on the size of your crock pot.
For the sauce mix:
1 16 oz can of diced tomatoes
1 can of tomatoe paste
a large handfull of torn fresh basil
5-6 coarsely chopped garlic cloves
a couple pinches of sea salt
cracked black pepper to taste.
Cover meatballs with tomato sauce and cook all day on low. These were even better the next day for lunch!!

Hey Sarah,
I added this one to AllRecipes.com for you. Check it out: http://allrecipes.com/PersonalRecipe/62207049/Marvelous-MeatBalls/Detail.aspx
I need to edit it with some more specifics on the ingredients, like how much of the celery, carrots, etc… If you have some more specific quantities, let me know. Otherwise, I’ll update it when I make it.
Looks awesome. I never thought of putting Almond Meal into meatballs. Will definitely give this recipe a try. I also like to add a grated Zucchini to the mix, sneak in the veg
Will be giving this a try Monday! Thanks……
Thank you for sharing your amazing recipes. My wife and I are a few weeks into our Paleo transition and have gone 100% since the New year. I made your meatballs last night and the whole family loved them! And you are right, they are better the next day. Thank you again.

I think you have the site I have been looking for! Going to make these meatballs today for sure! Your recipes look great and very do-able. Keep up the great work.
Just made these for the SuperBowl yesterday. They were phenomenal! I browned them first because I didn’t have time to cook them all day, but they had a good 4-5 hours in the crock pot afterwards; I used about three times as many tomatoes too. Thanks for the recipe!

These will be great on my Zucc-getti (Mandolin julienned zucchini,sautéed) or Spaghetti Squash. I miss Italian food; recipes like this make me forget…
[...] a treat.
If you want to do the real deal meal, there’s a recipe for a yummy looking sauce here, at everyday paleo. These are ideal leftovers to pack for lunch, or picnic [...]
We’ve been low-carbing(Atkin’s style) it at our house for about four months. I’ve found that I feel awesome without the grains, legumes, and sugar, and am now transitioning to a paleo/primal diet (not a whole lot different from the beginning stages of Atkins). This has become a go-to meal in our home, one that is enjoyed by both kids and low-carbing grown-ups!
Thank you!
Awesome Jody!! : )
