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

  1. 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 evenly incorporated.
  2. Form and Cook Meatballs: Shape the mixture into small meatballs. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the meatballs until browned on all sides and cooked through, approximately 8-10 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Make the Gravy: In the same skillet, melt the butter. Stir in heavy cream, beef broth, and Dijon mustard. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Combine and Simmer: Return the cooked meatballs to the skillet, coating them well with the gravy. Allow them to simmer together for 2-3 minutes so the flavors meld.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the meatballs before serving to add a fresh touch.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use a dairy-free butter alternative.
  • Almond flour helps keep this recipe keto-friendly; avoid using breadcrumbs to maintain low carbs.
  • You can adjust the size of the meatballs to your preference; just ensure cooking time is adjusted accordingly.
  • Leftover meatballs and gravy keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve with cauliflower mash or zucchini noodles for a complete keto meal.
