Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 1 beef heart, trimmed and ground
  • 1 tbsp cocoaminos
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire can substitute cocoaminos if desired
  • 1 onion, caramelized in 2tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 cups pork rinds, crushed
  • 2 eggs

Instructions
 

  • Start by caramelizing onion in 2tbs butter. Start with medium heat. Then turn to low when onions turn translucent. Cook on low until onions are golden brown and very tender.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients, including caramelized onions.
  • Form into meatballs and place on a rimmed cookie sheet.
  • Bake meatballs in oven at 375°F for 15 minutes. Internal temperature should read 165°F when fully cooked.

Notes

Caramelized onions provide a unique depth of flavor in this recipe. Caramelized onions do take awhile to cook. I get them started and let them cook slowly and low while I am getting the rest of the ingredients for the recipe ready. Trimming and slicing the beef heart can take some time to complete.
