Homemade Italian Style Meatballs

I was watching Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives the other day and they were at this place that was making the most decadent meatball subs. This gave me the biggest craving for an awesome meatball. So I typed into google "large baked meatballs" and this was the recipe (with modifications) that popped up. I decided that I may as well try it and see how they would turn out. You know what? They were damn good! 

Meatballs
2 lbs ground beef and pork (50/50 mix)
1/2 onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 - 1/2 almond flour
1 egg 
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan (leave out for strict Paleo)
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

Sauce
1 can crushed tomatos
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp Italian seasoning (basil, parsley, oregano)

Preheat oven to 400° F. In a large bowl combine meat, onion, garlic, almond flour, egg, cheese (optional) and seasonings. Combine together with your hands. If the mixture is too wet add more almond flour. Roll the meatballs into 2-inch diameters and place on a foil lined baking sheet with about 1 inch spacing between them. Continue making meatballs until ingredients are all used up. You should end up with about 12 - 16 large meatballs.Bake until they are cooked through, about 25 minutes.

For the sauce combine all ingredients in a small pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 2 minutes. The longer it simmers the more the flavours with develop.

Top the meatballs with sauce and enjoy!
