Ingredients
Method
- In a large bowl, combine 1 pound of ground beef, ½ pound of ground pork, 1 beaten egg, ¼ cup of almond flour, ½ teaspoon of nutmeg, ½ teaspoon of allspice, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper.
- Mix gently with your hands until just combined (don't overmix or the meatballs will be tough).
- Roll the mixture into 1½-inch meatballs (you should get about 20-24).
- Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Brown the meatballs in batches, turning to sear all sides, about 6-8 minutes total. They don't need to be cooked through yet.
- Remove meatballs to a plate and reduce heat to medium.
- Add 4 oz of cream cheese and 1 cup of beef broth to the pan, whisking until the cream cheese melts.
- Stir in heavy cream, Dijon and Worcestershire. Keep the sour cream aside.
- Return meatballs and simmer gently for 10-12 minutes, until centers reach 160°F. Take off the heat and stir in sour cream; do not boil after adding it.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve over cauliflower mash or zucchini noodles.
