1 fun affair that happened when I calculated nutritional information for every recipe is that when I had to revisit every recipe on the weblog I found some real gems in the athenaeum that could easily be made lower in carbs! These Beef and Sausage Meatballs with Tomato Sauce are a dinner thought that used to be one of my favorites. When Kara and I worked on updating this recipe we switched out the breadcrumbs for flaxseed meal, and we loved these tasty low-carb meatballs!

The meatballs and sauce cook together in the oven, which means that the footing beef and Italian sausage flavors the sauce fifty-fifty more. And fifty-fifty if you've never made meatballs from scratch, trust me when I say this was really like shooting fish in a barrel to make!

Low-Carb Diet / Low-Glycemic Diet / S Beach Diet Suggestions:
Beef and Sausage Meatballs with Love apple Sauce a great dish for low-carb or low-glycemic diets or for any stage of the original South Beach Diet. Southward Embankment would prefer lean ground beef and low-fatty turkey sausage; other diet plans might adopt pork sausage or beef with more fat, although with college-fat meats some of the fat will ooze out of the meatballs into the sauce then I would still prefer turkey sausage for this.
