Equipment

Ingredients

Meatballs

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 cup finely grated parmesan
  • ¼ cup almond flour
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 2 teaspoons gelatin optional

Gravy

  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 ounces cream cheese cubed
  • ½ cup grated parmesan
  • ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
  • ½ cup sour cream

Instructions

Meatballs

  • Preheat the oven to 375 ° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place an oven-safe rack on the baking sheet.
  • Mix the ground beef, parmesan, almond flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl, beat the eggs and sprinkle with the gelatin. Whisk well and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
  • Add the egg mixture to the ground beef. Use a small cookie scoop and form into meatballs.
  • Arrange the meatballs on the rack over the baking sheet. (If you like, you can brush them with a little avocado or olive oil.)
  • Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer reaches 160° F.

Gravy

  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the broth, cream cheese, and parmesan. Cook until the cheese melts. Stir in the xanthan gum and cook for about 8 minutes, until the sauce starts to thicken.
  • Remove from heat and stir in sour cream.
  • Add meatballs to the pot and return the pot to the stove. Cook for 2 minutes, until heated through.
