Beef Stroganoff Meatballs KETO



This low carb beef stroganoff meatballs recipe calls for a little xanthan gum which is a low carb thickener that you can usually find in the baking aisle or with the gluten free products if your store has a section. Otherwise you can order it online pretty cheaply. You can omit the xanthan gum, but your gravy will be much runnier without it – still yummers, just not as silky and clingy (in a delicious, non-desperate, way.)

Servings:  4

INGREDIENTS

For the meatball mix:

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)

For the sauce:

  • 1 Tbsp butter or Coconut Oil for FMD
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms (white or cremini)
  • 1 cup sliced onions
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 3/4 cup sour cream or Heavy Cream for FMD
