Ingredients
For the sauce:
2 tbsp butter
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 tsp Better than Bouillon Beef
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup sour cream
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the meatballs:
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
1 cup fine almond flour
1 large egg
2 tsp minced garlic
Pinch allspice
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, egg, garlic, allspice, nutmeg, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Knead gently until combined and form into meatballs.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the meatballs on all sides until browned and cooked to your preference. Remove and set aside.
- Wipe out the skillet and melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened.
- Stir in the bouillon, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Whisk in the heavy cream and simmer until slightly thickened.
- Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the sour cream until smooth.
- Return the meatballs to the skillet and coat them in the creamy sauce. Simmer briefly before serving.
Notes
Mix ground beef with turkey or lamb for different flavor profiles.
Add smoked paprika for extra warmth.
Simmer the sauce longer or add more sour cream if you prefer it thicker.
Delicious served over cauliflower mash or sautéed cabbage for a full keto meal.
Add a splash of cream when reheating if the sauce thickens too much.
