Ingredients

Scale

1 lb ground beef
3 large eggs
2 lbs pork sausage
1 lb shredded cheddar cheese
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp onion powder (optional)
1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions

In a large bowl combine ground beef, pork sausage, eggs, salt, pepper, onion powder, and smoked paprika; mix until just combined.
Fold in shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Heat a skillet over medium‑high heat; add meat mixture and form into 12‑15 bite‑size balls.
Cook meatballs, turning occasionally, until browned all over and internal temperature reaches 160°F, about 12‑15 minutes.
Transfer to a baking sheet and finish in a preheated 375°F oven for 10 minutes to ensure fully cooked interior.

Notes

For a strict carnivore version omit onion powder and smoked paprika. Serve with a side of sautéed greens or a simple lettuce salad. Leftovers store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
