Warm and comforting meatballs are a universal favorite. This quick meatball recipe involves very few steps and is a great dish to make in advance as its flavor develops over time. The crisp, zingy slaw is a perfect compliment to cut through the richness of the creamy tomato sauce.

You might think most meatballs are already Keto-friendly… but they usually are not! Often times people add bread crumbs to them, which is a no-no on Keto. Our recipe is Keto approved!

I love this recipe for Sunday dinner. Keto-friendly comfort food is always at the top of my list! I make a big batch and set aside enough for lunch the next day. Delicious!
