Low Carb Beef Stroganoff Meatballs – Keto

These Keto Beef Stroganoff Meatballs boast tender meatballs, caramelized onions, and toasty mushrooms hanging out in a succulent sour cream gravy. Paired with a silky cauliflower puree, this is the perfect keto comfort food!

Hello Peeps! It’s been awhile since I posted a new Keto Meatball Monday recipe, but I hope that you’ll think this one was worth the wait!

Before we left SC for the freezing cold North I cooked up a storm, so I have some delicious low carb meatball recipes in the queue for the next few weeks – YAY!

By the way we are STILL in the freezing cold North and it gets colder by the day it seems. This morning it was -4 with a “real feel” of -26. Toasty.

When I left at 6:30am to drop Mr. Hungry off at the project he’s working on I could feel my nose hairs freezing and thought…

“I remember this feeling…and I don’t like it.”

Meanwhile my friends in South Carolina are whining about how cold they are because it’s in the 40’s during the day and I want to round them up and kick them all in the shins repeatedly while yelling:

“YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT REAL COLD IS!!!!”

But I would never do that…at least not the actual kicking part. The yelling….maybe. Cold weather makes me cranky, what can I say.

Please hold for a short break while I go get more coffee…………………..

There. That’s better. Now, where were we before I got off on a rant…. Oh. Yes. Meatballs!

These keto Beef Stroganoff Meatballs are quite simply amazing. It’s true, I wish I had some right now and it’s only 7:30am – that’s how good they were! Mr. Hungry isn’t usually a huge fan of mushrooms, but even he loved these!

Now Beef Stroganoff is typically served with egg noodles, and you could try these keto beef stroganoff meatballs with the low carb egg fast noodles from the Fettucini Alfredo recipe, and it would probably be fantastic. I served them with the Better Than Potatoes Cauliflower Puree because I was already making some and it was just easier – and delicious.

So you have options – but do serve them with something to enjoy all of that delicious gravy with. Even zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash would work if that’s what you have on hand.

This keto 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.)
