For the Meatballs
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 cup finely ground pork rinds like breadcrumbs
- 1 small onion chopped
- 1 clove garlic chopped
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the Sauce
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 3/4 cup beef broth
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 3/4 cup heavy cream for sauce
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce use gluten-free tamari for GF
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 0.5 - xanthan gum to 1 teaspoon, optional, for thickening
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly greased foil for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef, ground pork, finely ground pork rinds, chopped onion, chopped garlic, the first 1/4 cup heavy cream, egg, salt, and pepper. Be careful not to overmix, as this keeps your meatballs tender!
- Roll the mixture into 40-50 small, uniform meatballs and arrange them evenly on your prepared baking sheets.
- Bake the meatballs for about 20 minutes, or until they are thoroughly cooked through and lightly golden.
- While the meatballs are baking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the coconut flour to create a smooth paste, known as a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the beef broth, chicken broth, the remaining 3/4 cup heavy cream, soy sauce, and mustard until the mixture is smooth. Bring it to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to thicken nicely. Season to your taste.
- If you prefer an extra thick sauce, slowly sprinkle in 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum while continuously whisking until you reach your desired consistency.
- Add the cooked meatballs directly into the warm creamy sauce in the skillet. Toss gently to coat them completely. Serve immediately and savor this delicious, healthy comfort food!
