Maple's Meatballs

This is a really old recipe of mine. I love the combo of savory meat with a touch of sweet maple flavor. I was always one to dip my bacon or sausage in my pancake syrup. This is part of my keto plan, and a recipe I included in the January Diner News. Let me warn you--the house smells amazing when you make these.

Here's my keto version from the newsletter:

Maple’s Meatballs

1/2 lb pork sausage (or plain ground pork)

1/2 lb ground beef

1 tsp maple flavoring

2 tbsp granulated sweetener

Mix all ingredients. Form into 10 balls and bake 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees.

Serves 5. Eat one serving: wrap and freeze the rest.

When you grow tired of eggs for breakfast, this is a nice change of pace. They go great alongside a Minute Muffin or pancakes if you aren't watching your percentages. Even plain, the sweetness hits the spot.

Who says meatballs aren't for breakfast? I love them, but they are also good for lunches and party food--maybe the superbowl?
