Ingredients
Scale
Meatballs
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 lb ground pork
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp allspice
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Parsley, to garnish
Gravy
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the meatball mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, almond flour, egg, heavy cream, allspice, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated, then shape into small, evenly sized meatballs.
- Cook the meatballs: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the meatballs until they are browned on all sides and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove them from the skillet and set aside while you prepare the gravy.
- Make the gravy: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the heavy cream, beef broth, and Dijon mustard. Continue to cook and stir until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine and simmer: Return the meatballs to the skillet, coating them with the creamy gravy. Allow the meatballs to simmer in the sauce for a few minutes to absorb flavors and heat through.
- Serve: Garnish the meatballs with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Keto Swedish Meatballs hot, as a comforting low-carb meal.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add finely chopped onions or garlic to the meatball mixture.
- Make sure the meatballs are uniform in size to ensure even cooking.
- If the gravy thickens too much, thin it with a little additional beef broth or water.
- This recipe is perfect served over cauliflower mash or zucchini noodles for a complete keto-friendly meal.
