Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and browned.
- While the meatballs are baking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add heavy cream, chicken broth, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir and bring to a simmer.
- Once the meatballs are done, transfer them to the skillet with the cream sauce.
- Simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing the meatballs to absorb the flavors of the sauce.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
Notes
- For added flavor, mix in some chopped fresh herbs like basil or oregano into the meatball mixture.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce to the cream sauce.
