How To Make Keto-Friendly Pastrami Meatballs

Here is how to make delicious keto pastrami meatballs baked in the oven.

Start by preheating the oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Then in a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, eggs, water, salt, mustard powder, brown sugar substitute, ground coriander, cinnamon, ground cloves, ground allspice, red pepper flakes, paprika, black pepper, liquid smoke, and chopped parsley.

Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.

Form the mixture into meatballs that are about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.

Place the meatballs on the baking sheets lined with parchment paper, and leave some space between them so that they are not touching one another and can cook evenly.

Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until they are browned and cooked through.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to 3 weeks.

How To Flash Freeze Meatballs

To flash-freeze meatballs, you can follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare two baking sheets or trays by lining them with wax paper or parchment paper.
2. Place the meatballs onto two prepared baking sheets, making sure that they are not touching each other.
3. Place the baking sheets with the meatballs into the freezer, making sure that it is level and flat.
4. Allow the meatballs to freeze for about 1-2 hours or until they are completely frozen.
5. Once the meatballs are frozen, remove them from the baking sheets and transfer them into a freezer-safe container or plastic bag.
6. Label the container or bag with the date and contents, and place it back into the freezer.

By flash-freezing the meatballs, you can prevent them from sticking together and ensure that they retain their shape and texture during storage.

This method is also useful if you need to freeze a large batch of meatballs quickly.

Then simply remove it from the freezer bag and bake frozen according to the recipe instructions. Note that you will need to bake about 5 minutes longer to account for the fact that they are frozen.

Join Our Jesus And Keto Movement 

Our family came to the keto diet looking at it from a Christian perspective; it’s the filter we choose to see from.

When we decided to combine our Christian faith and the keto diet, we did so in hopes of finding lasting transformation.

To say we needed God’s intervention is putting it mildly. When we followed the Holy Spirit’s lead to embrace the ketogenic diet and combine it with our faith, we got on the path to fundamental transformation. 

If you are looking for a Christian group that is using the keto diet to transform their lives, we invite you to join our Private Facebook Group and see if it’s not the key you have been missing.
