Ingredients
  

  • cup pork rinds crushed
  • 16 ounce chorizo sausage
  • 24 ounce ground beef
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 large egg
  • 1 cup low-carb tomato sauce such as Rao's

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Add the pork rinds to a food processor and pulse until completely crushed.
  • Break the chorizo sausage into small, even-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add in the ground beef, crushed pork rinds, and cheddar cheese.
  • Measure out the cumin, chili powder, salt, and eggs. Add them to the ground beef mixture — this is where the fun begins.
  • Knead everything together well by hand. It's a bit messy, but well worth it!
  • Roll the mixture into meatballs and place them on a foil-lined baking tray. Spread the meatballs out evenly to ensure proper cooking and keep them from sticking together.
  • Bake for 30–35 minutes, depending on the size of the meatballs.
  • Let cool for about 5 minutes before removing from the tray. Serve with tomato sauce dolloped over each meatball.
