Welcome to #Whatscookinwednesday and this Easy Keto Swedish Meatballs Recipe. Meatballs are one of those meals that can be incorporated into a ton of different types of other meals. They can be eaten as a side dish, appetizer, or main course. And I can’t think of anything better today than a plate of Swedish meatballs with some delicious cauliflower. I am not helping out with the cauliflower recipe but I will make sure you have this delicious meatball recipe.

The Groceries
- 453.59 g ground pork
- 453.59 g ground chuck
- 124 g zucchini grated (or 1 med zucchini)
- 1 egg
- 4.93 g all-purpose seasoning (I used McCormick and Garlic and Herb)
- 1.23 g salt
- 29.57 g butter
- 235 ml chicken broth
- 14.79 g mustard
- 178.5 ml heavy cream
The Execution
-
Crumble ground meat into a large bowl
-
Using a medium grater, shred zucchini until you have about 1 packed cup full (don’t dry or remove water)
-
Add grated zucchini to the bowl along with egg, seasoning, and salt
-
Mix with hands until just combined
-
Melt butter in a large heavy bottomed or cast iron skillet
-
Roll meat into 18 equal sized balls and place in skillet
-
Cook for about 3-5 minutes then flip and cook another 3-5 minutes until lightly browned
-
Whisk together broth, mustard, and cream
-
Pour into skillet with meatballs and bring to a hard simmer for 5-10 minutes until meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly
Recipe Notes:
- Use an ice cream scooper to make measuring out equal sized meatballs easy and so that meatballs will cook evenly
- Only mix meat until everything is just combined. Overworking the meat will cause your meatballs to become tough
