How to make Low Carb Italian Meatball Bake

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Add the ground beef to a mixing bowl. Mince one clove of garlic and add to the bowl along with the parmesan, oregano and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Mix together well with your hands and divide into 12 even sized meatballs.
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in an oven proof pan over a medium heat and add the meatballs. Cook until well browned all over. Remove from the pan, keep warm and set aside. Drain any excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon behind in the pan.
Finely dice the onion and slice the garlic and add to the frying pan. Sweat over a low heat until tender.
Add the balsamic and stir well then add the tomatoes and stock. Bring the mixture to a boil then return the meatballs to the pan.
Cover the pan with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil, sprinkle over the mozzarella and bake for a further 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted, the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce is bubbling.
