Growing up my grandmother made some of my favorite dishes to eat after school. Of the many dishes she made, her meatball recipe was my favorite. My grandmother would place a mixture of diced onions, eggs, breadcrumbs, and apple cider vinegar, and ground beef into a bowl. Carefully, she would scoop some of the mixture into her hands and roll it into a ball. Next she would place it in a hot skillet pan filled with a little bit of canola oil, and cook the meatballs until they were crispy on the outside. Thinking of the way she used to cook this dish transports me to her kitchen, and the aroma fills my olfactory senses. I have recreated my grandmother’s meatball recipe many times. Recently, I decided to swap out a few ingredients, and it has been a huge hit with my family. The new recipe is low carb friendly, and it still has all the flavor of granny’s!
