Keto Bell Pepper Meatball Subs

Yields: 4 servings

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 27 minutes  | Total Time: 37 minutes

Ingredients:

For the meatballs:

1 lb ground beef
⅓ cup almond flour
¼ cup parmesan cheese
1 egg
¾ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
½ teaspoon dried parsley
¼ teaspoon dried basil
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder

For the subs:

4 bell peppers, stems removed and slice horizontally in half
4 slices provolone cheese

 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

 

 

In a large bowl, add meatball ingredients and combine using clean hands.

 

 

Form the mixture into 16 meatballs.

Add a tablespoon of olive oil to a large skillet on medium-high heat. After the pan is heated through and oil is hot, add all of the meatballs and cook for 10 minutes – turning them every few minutes to ensure equal browning.

 

 

Turn the heat down to medium-low and pour the jar of marinara sauce over the meatballs. Cover and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.

 

 

 

Place bell peppers (cut side facing up) on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle salt and pepper.

 

Place a piece of provolone on four of the pepper halves and place in the oven for 7 or so minutes to allow the cheese to melt.

 

Remove the peppers from the oven, and add 4 meatballs on top of the cheesy pepper halves. Sprinkle with additional parmesan cheese if desired. Top with another bell pepper half to finish the sub sandwich. Enjoy warm.
