Pecorino can be cheaper and offers a similar flavor.

almond flour

🥗Healthier: coconut flour

💰Cheaper: ground oats

Ground oats can provide a similar texture at a lower cost.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, and egg.

Add almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and parsley to the mixture.

Mix until fully combined, ensuring the cheeses are evenly distributed.

Form small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball, and create a small indentation in each.

Stuff each meatball with a piece of mozzarella cheese and seal the indentation.

Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Drizzle olive oil over the meatballs and sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes if desired.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and browned.

Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
