Keto Swedish Meatballs

This recipe is from Wicked Stuff. I made a few adjustments to and the amounts of the ingredients and the preparation times .

Ingredients to make 24 meatballs:

  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1/4 cup diced shallots
  • 1 tsp fresh ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Ingredients for the sauce:

  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups whipping cream
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Heat the oven on broil.

In a large bowl, combine ground meat, cheddar cheese, egg, onion, water, nutmeg, allspice, pepper and salt (at the very end).

Roll the mixture into 1.5 inch meatballs and arrange them on two lined baking sheets.

Broil until brown. If temperature does not read 140°F yet, bake at 400°F for a few minutes to cook them through without making them tough.

Meanwhile, in a small skillet, heat the butter, chicken broth, and heavy cream over medium heat. Once it begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and let continue simmering until it reduces. When the sauce started to get thick, add mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Scrape off meat juices from the baking sheet and add to the sauce. Add meatballs to sauce and let marinade for a few minutes.

Enjoy!
