- Bake the meatballs casserole for 15 to 20 minutes or until fully cooked.
- Remove from the oven and drain the grease.
- Top the meatballs with low-carb Marinara sauce and shredded cheese, and put the casserole back in the oven.

- Serve the low-carb meatballs casserole with a side salad or over zucchini noodles as pictured.
Enjoy!
