Sausage and Peppers Meatballs

This week's meatballs were chosen because I had some Italian sausage in the freezer.

1 lb sweet (or hot) Italian sausage
2 lb ground pork
1 egg
2/3 cup almond flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
3 minced garlic cloves
2 Tbs chopped parsley

Mix together the ingredients. Roll into balls. Bake at 400 for 20-30 minutes.

Tomato sauce:
1 thinly sliced onion
2 cups sliced peppers
3 minced garlic
28 oz crushed tomatoes

Toss the onions and pepper slices in the meatball pan after the meatballs are out or just saute them in a skillet. Add the garlic and tomatoes once the onions and peppers are lightly charred. Bake for 30 minutes.

Usually these meatball recipes are good to eat sauce-less. This one definitely needs some tweaks to make it a sauce-less meatball. I could probably add some minced onion and peppers along with a bit of tomato paste to the meatballs for a sauce-less meatball. I'd toss some parmesan cheese in too.
