These meatballs are super easy to make and crazy delicious. You can do so many things with them. They can be a complete meal or just an appetizer. My husband and I ate a couple as a starter and then put the rest on top of caesar salad. This recipe contains only trace amounts of carbs so feel free to indulge a little. Hope you enjoy!

They make me hungry just looking at them. Why a glass dish? I would be afraid to use a glass dish at 400 degrees. I can’t wait to try these.
I routinely cook in those glass dishes at 450…The only time you’ll have a problem is if you take the hot glass pan out and put it on a wet counter….It will instantly crack….I even had one semi explode one time….The old 1970’s pyrex and Corningware was different and didn’t do that….The new stuff is crap…..
I guess you could use any baking dish really. I just always feel like I get a more even cook with glass bakeware.
I just made these and they are delicious! I was concerned the meatballs not binding, so I added an egg and maybe 3/4 cup breadcrumbs. Mine were really sticky (before and after the adjustment) and I couldn’t roll them so they were more mounds. Very yummy though!
i had no trouble whatsoever with these holding together, and my guys who really like wings enjoyed these! thanks for sharing…
I bet these would be good as patties too!
Could these be made without the blue cheese? I really don’t like blue cheese LOL
These were spectacular, thank you! I ended up using ground turkey just because the ground chicken was more difficult to come by. Resulting meatballs were delicious and I almost regretted the act of dousing them in buffalo sauce because it masked the medley of flavors within. This is, of course, a good problem to have, but I definitely wanted to review and say thank you for adding this to my repertoire in the kitchen!
I made these tonight and put them in a low carb wrap with green onions, lettuce, and side of carrots. They were delicious!
could you tell me the recipe thanks it’s not there
Too bad, I’ve had this “pinned” for awhile to try them out and just came to get the ingredients and now you have to buy the cookbook :0( Even if I had tried them before and loved them I wouldn’t be able to make it since I save paper and ink by reading recipes from Pinterest as I cook them.
So not cool to post a recipe and then take it down because of the cookbook. New recipes yes, old recipes no.
Contractually I had to once it was published. But thanks! Feel free to move on now
Hi Kyndra I just pre ordered your cookbook will this recipe and some of the others like that are in the low-carbing among friends book also be in your new one? Thanks for your hard work in doing these!
Hi Tiffany! Thank you so much for ordering my book. This recipe is published in the LCAF Vol. 3 and therefore can’t be published anywhere else but there are a ton of recipes in my new book and some never before seen new recipes. Thanks
Thanks Kyndra for the response 🙂 Can’t wait to get it went ahead and ordered the other one as well haha. I have tried so many of your recopies since taking on my weight loss journey. I really appreciate your hard work the fact there’s so many different things to try and keeps the food fun and interesting! 🙂
Question: With these Buffalo Blue Chicken Meatballs you have a small bowl of dressing in the photo….
What type of dressing is that? Ranch? (I saw a ranch recipe on your site…)…
BTW…I just found this site last week…..Everything looks incredible….
Do you have a Primal cocktail section? I occasionally make frozen banana daiquiris in the blender with a frozen banana, rum, collagen powder and water….Pretty good…
