- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 6 ounces crispy fried onions caramelized (1 can)
- 16 ounces of garlic cheddar cheese curds

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl beat the egg. Add the hot italian sausage, ground beef, almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, cumin, and basil. Using your hands combine the meat mixture thoroughly. Then add the crispy friend onions caramelized to the mixture. Take a sheet of parchment paper and place on your counter. This will make it easy to work with. Scoop out the meat about 2 tablespoon and roll into a ball with your hands. Take the cheese curd and cut in half and use half for each meat ball. Press the cheese curd into the center of the meatball, sealing the meat around the cheese while shaping into a ball. Then place each meatball on the parchment paper. Keep repeating till all the meatballs are made. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the meatballs. Cook the meatballs about 2 min per side turning with tongs till meatball is browned on all sides. Then add the pizza sauce and cook a few minutes more. Garnish with parsley.
