Carnivore Meatballs

Juicy, cheesy carnivore meatballs made with just 4 ingredients. These are baked, not fried, with crispy edges and a tender center thanks to a little pork rind crunch and melty cheddar. Great for weekly meal prep, tossing in a lunchbox, or eating straight off the pan while no one’s looking.
