Who's ready for Beyond Meat Meatballs made in 25 mins using super simple ingredients? I know I am!
Realistically these meatless meatballs could be made with any vegan ground round, but I’ve only ever tried making Beyond meat meatballs with beyond beef because it tastes so good.
Don't have Beyond Beef ground round for your meatballs? Not a problem! You can make this recipe using 3 crumbled up beyond meat burger patties.
Have extra beyond meat? Try my Beyond Meat Nachos!

I make Beyond Meat Meatballs on a regular basis because they're quick and easy to make whenever I don’t want to make something big! Spaghetti and meatballs are a staple in my house and adding these vegan meatballs do just the trick!
We love most about these vegan meatballs is how versatile they are.
Spaghetti and meatballs? Check.
Meatball Sub? Check.
Meatball Sliders? Check.
Meatball Mac and Cheese? Double Check.
The possibilities are really endless with meatballs. They are a great way to add some protein to a dish. I like to pair these with steamed veggies, pasta sauce, and black bean pasta to make a complete and nutritious meal!
PS: Mashed potatoes and meatballs are a real comfort food of mine and if you haven’t already tried it I highly recommend it.

These beyond meat meatballs are high in protein but aren't 100% nutritional powerhouses. After all, they are just four ingredients with seasoning.
Four of these Beyond Meat meatballs have;
- almost 50% of your daily iron.
- 21 g of protein.
- 35% of your daily copper need.
For 1 serving size only being 4 meatballs that are a pretty good addition to a lot of meals!
That being said beyond meat meatballs are a great way to add some protein and deliciousness to any meal!

Is beyond meat healthier than beef?
A lot more research needs to be done on the health benefits of Beyond Meat but it’s pretty safe to say that with what we know about red meat and the direct correlation link to increased red meat consumption and heat disease and cancer, that beyond meat is a far healthier alternative.

Tried this recipe last night and it was solid. Only thing I’m going to adjust is the tablespoon of pepper which I found made it a bit too peppery. I think perhaps a teaspoon would do.
Thanks for sharing!!
Cheers!
Diane
Can I fry these like I do with regular beef meatballs and then cook them in my sauce? Or will they fall apart if in sauce too long?
Donna
These are excellent! How long will they last in the fridge?
Marilou
A-ma-zing. Really. Thank you SO MUCH! Also, fellow rescuer here!
Cathy Collins
These are so delicious I’m having a hard time not eating anymore before the spaghetti is cooked. Thank you for an awesome recipe!
Dani
So good! Meatballs are a fave in our house and this recipe is bang on for our Meatless Mondays.
Tried a different recipe using Ground Round and didn’t love - made this one and it was soooo good. Next time I’m doubling it for lunch leftovers.
Lindsay

John
ahah glad it worked it out for you!
Evelyn Castaneda
I want to shove my face into this plate of spaghetti!!!! Looks great thanks for the inspo.
Shelley
Hi. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I’m planning to make these for Christmas Eve. If I make them ahead of time, would you recommend reheating them in sauce? Will they hold up? Or is it better to reheat in the oven? Thank you.
John
Hey Shelley! great question, I would definitely recommend reheating in the oven or a pan first and then adding the sauce over top. Adding them to the sauce directly might be too much movement for them. Let us know how they turn out 🙂
Andrei
Just made these beyond meat meatballs & the seasoning was incredible! I don’t have access to vegan parm but they still turned out super tasty!
John
Yasssss Andrei!! Vegan parm can be tricky to find sometimes but a lot of people make it from cashews and nutritional yeast, I'll have to develop a recipe so it's easier for people!
Janelle
We paired these with your moms pasta sauce recipe and it was such a good dinner! Thank you!
