Carnivore Creamy Meatballs Recipe

Ingredients for Meatballs:

• 1 lb ground beef (or any ground meat you prefer, like pork, lamb, or turkey)
• 1 large egg (helps bind the meatballs)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
• 1 tablespoon beef tallow, butter, or bacon fat (for frying)

Ingredients for Creamy Sauce:

• 1 cup heavy cream (if you’re including dairy on your carnivore diet)
• 2 tablespoons butter or beef tallow (for extra richness)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Make the Meatballs:

   • In a bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined, but don’t overwork the meat.
   • Roll the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

2. Cook the Meatballs:

   • In a large skillet, heat the tallow, butter, or bacon fat over medium heat.
   • Add the meatballs to the skillet in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set aside.

3. Prepare the Creamy Sauce:

   • In the same skillet (with the meatball drippings still in the pan), add the butter (or more tallow) and heat it over medium-low heat.
   • Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent burning and to help thicken the cream.
   • Add garlic powder (if using), salt, and pepper to taste. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to your liking.

4. Combine Meatballs and Sauce:

   • Once the sauce has thickened, return the meatballs to the skillet and stir to coat them in the creamy sauce.
   • Let the meatballs simmer in the sauce for another 5-7 minutes to soak in the flavors and heat through.

5. Serve:

   • Once the meatballs are well-coated and heated through, serve them immediately. If you like, you can drizzle some of the creamy sauce over the top for extra flavor.

Optional Add-ins (if allowed on your version of the carnivore diet):

• A sprinkle of shredded cheese (if you consume dairy)
• A drizzle of extra beef tallow for richness
