The ground beef:

My meat came in a 2.25 pound package. I have no idea why they do that but that is what they had. (Edit; I recently had 2 kind readers point out that 2.25 pounds is 1 kg so that is why, I guess. It isn’t labeled as a kg; it is labeled as 36 oz and 2.25 lbs; still strange if you ask me. It seems like if it is a kg, it would be labeled as such. Anyway!) 

If you use two 1 pound packages, that is fine too. The cheese and egg measurements will still work just fine.

I don’t bother with seasonings but if you want to add salt and pepper or a steak seasoning to add more flavor, feel free. We always eat them with something else so have not felt it was necessary.

I usually use the 93% meat and 7% fat (93/7) when I buy ground beef. Especially in this recipe when the grease will just sit in the bottom of the crock pot, I don’t want extra fat in it.

I can almost always find it marked down so it is not much more expensive than the fattier meat. I just throw the extra grease away anyway so don’t want to pay for it.

That is just me though; use whatever you like! 🙂

What to eat them with:

It is pictured here with Creamy Spinach Cheese Bake and made a delicious dinner and leftovers for lunch for a few days.

2.25lb is 1kg. Metric is boss

You are my second comment pointing that out in 2 days after this being posted for over a year. :) That makes sense. Thanks! :)

As those of us in Canada will recognize, 2.25 lbs is slightly over 1 kilogram. Perhaps the reason for packaging in this amount. Just guessing!!

Joy

Sunday 21st of July 2019

Ah! Very good guess. I am sure you are correct. Living in the US all my life, I did not notice that; although I do know that 1 kg = 2.2 lb. :) Thank you for pointing that out! :)

DoThese stay firm like a regular meatball? Could you add spaghetti sauce in crock pot while they cook ? Thank you for a simple keto alternative.

Joy

Hi Jennifer, Yes, they do stay nice and firm. Well, you could add sauce while the meatballs cook, but look at the picture of the meatballs in the crock pot after they are cooked. You will have all of that grease and "stuff" in with your sauce if you do. Personally, I would add the sauce after they are cooked and removed from that. I have heated them in the microwave easily in sauce after the main cooking time. That would be my recommendation. I think you would be much happier with them that way. :)

I am trying to find a great meatball recipe to add and hide liver in. Do you think this would work?

Joy

Wednesday 12th of June 2019

Boy, that is a good question! And I am sorry but I have zero experience with liver hiding so I really can't tell you. If I were to try, I would chop it up really fine and don't know why it wouldn't work to mix it with the ground beef that way but if you are trying to hide it, a burger mix with more ingredients may be a better option. You do really taste the beef in this recipe since that is mostly what it is. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful! Good luck! :)

Sure, if that is how you cook meatballs, that would work!
