Recipe from one of our founders, Erin Rendic. "Nina" brings the same care to this family meatball recipe that she brings to every part of Rendic Ranch. With her background in hospitality and a deep commitment to clean, trustworthy food, Erin believes weeknight meals should feel grounding — not rushed. These meatballs are her go-to solution for busy evenings: simple, nutrient-dense, and built around our regeneratively raised beef. It’s a mid-week staple designed to keep everyone nourished, steady, and gathered around the table — even when life moves fast.
Ingredients

- 1 lb. Rancher's Reserve ground beef or Vital Blend ground beef

- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup almond flour

-
Preheat oven to 400°. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
