Keto Italian Meatballs

I love meatballs – the way my Mom used to make them.

I haven’t been able to recreate a clean keto version until now.

They taste pretty close to Mom’s. but nothing ever tastes as good as when she made them.

She used to soak bread in water for her meatballs and I just couldn’t figure out how to recreate that and still remain clean keto.

I used my focaccia as a bread substitute and it worked!

Here is my recipe:
