The idea for these meatballs came to me one day when I was trying to find a way to use up some leftover ground beef and pork. I had been craving meatballs, but I wanted to make a healthier version that was also Paleo-friendly. I started experimenting with different ingredients, and eventually came up with this recipe. I've been making these meatballs ever since, and they've become a favorite of mine and my family. They're so easy to make, and they're always a hit at parties.
