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.)

If you love meatballs (and who doesn’t?) be sure to check out the Recipe Index where we have over 45 low carb and gluten free meatball recipes to choose from! Have you tried all of them yet? What’s your favorite?!?!?
I love them all, but I’m especially partial to the Meatballs alla Parmigiana and the Spinach and Artichoke Dip Meatballs lately – so if you haven’t tried either of those yet, put them on your list STAT!
Betty Lutz says
I made this today…Ate my first helping over Swiss chard…so delicious. Maybe over zucchini later, who knows. I could just eat it straight up and be so satisfied, but I need veggies too. Perhaps with salad then lol.
Lori B says
Made this tonight and it was delicious! I didn’t have xanathan gum so used tapioca starch (we’re low carb, not keto) and it worked great. Had it in zoodles, they were perfect! Thank you !
★★★★★
Mellissa Sevigny says
Thanks for letting us know the tapioca starch works well as an alternative – so glad you guys enjoyed these meatballs!
Peaches says
I have been making this recipe for 3 years. My family really loves it. My husband not being a fan of anything in meatball form I skip making the ground beef into meatballs. I omit the almond flour and the egg. Then I follow the recipe to the letter. It’s a perfect comfort food dish!
★★★★★
Astrid says
These meatballs are a family favorite- make a double batch, trust me. I also make minis for potlucks and they’re inhaled.
★★★★★
Christy Scott says
This evening I went looking for a keto stroganoff recipe, and when I saw yours, I though it HAS to be good, and it was! Thank you for another recipe that will be made regularly!
★★★★★
Brigida Sullivan says
Outstanding! I added 1 tablespoon of cream cheese. Used Lupin flour instead of almond flour. Made a roux of 1/2 teaspoon of Xanthan Gum to 1 tablespoon of soft butter and slowly worked into the sauce.
★★★★★
Mary says
This is a great meal for those who cook for keto/non-keto family members. My husband ate this over egg noodles, while I had the cauliflower puree. I haven’t done keto for awhile so I had forgotten how delicious the puree could be. I am sure I will binge on the leftovers for the next day or so.
★★★★★
Mellissa Sevigny says
So happy you were able to make this work for both of you Mary!
BeeBee says
Even pre keto I never used fillers in my meatballs. I just used the ground meat and seasonings. I’m not a fan of xantham gum in sauces so either omit it or use a teaspoon of arrowroot flour
★★★★★
Debbie Tropiano says
My daughter’s favorite! We make 4 lbs of meatballs at a time when we make so she has enough leftovers!! But the amount of sauce in the original recipe works for that many (we just use a large pot to make it instead of a frying pan)! Also we bake the meatballs since we make so many (4 cake pans fit better in our oven, so we use those rather than sheet pans for baking them).
She loves it so much, she’s insisting we make if for her high school graduation party!
★★★★★
Sandra L Peterson says
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve made these meatballs. Favorite in my regular rotation. So yummy! Thank you for this recipe!
★★★★★
Lori says
This turned out fantastic!
I cheated and used pre-made frozen Costco meatballs and picked the recipe up at the browning the meatballs in the pan stage. I also changed the xanthum gum to 1 tsp. arrowroot powder in the sauce. Other than those two changes, I made as is and it was very flavorful! I made mashed cauliflower to go with mine and brown rice for my husband.
★★★★★
Eileen says
This was so easy and absolutely delicious. The directions were clear and easy to follow. A joy to make and a delight to eat! Kept it simple — served it with a side of steamed broccoli florets — looked pretty together on the plate. :) Most definitely will make this again! Thanks for a great recipe.
Rebecca says
I’m a pretty decent cook, but new to keto. The meat balls fell apart, what fat content do you suggest. Also the sauce was lumpy, would heavy cream work better adding the sour cream at the end? It tasted really good. We had it over keto bisquits as the meat balls fell apart. Thank you for the recipe.
Crista says
I want to make this, but don’t have xanthum gum. Could I use file powder as a thickening agent?
Jenny says
The sauce didn’t thicken up, like barely at all. But it tasted VERY good. This was excellent. Idk if it’s because my xantham gum is a bit old and was left open? Idk if it has an expiration date or what. I planned on using the cream cheese to thicken it like people said but i didn’t realize i didn’t have any. So i thought the xantham gum would do the trick but it did not. Nevertheless it was really good and i will be making it again with a few tweaks to try to get the sauce thicker.
★★★★
Rae says
I made this last week and making again today! Loved the recipe with some minor changes for preference ( i seasoned differently and i am using less almond flour this time). Love the sauce and i am adding cream cheese to thicken. I also double the onion as i love caramalized onions!
★★★★★
Linda says
why are you reducing the almond flour?
Dottie Kozak says
This was the second time I’ve made this, and we both love it. I also made cauliflower rice as the gravy is delicious and needed to go over something. In my pre-Keto days, it would have been mashed potatoes. I saw that someone put a pat of cream cheese in to help thicken the gravy, and I’ll do that next time too. This is one of our favorite recipes. Thanks for sharing!
★★★★★
Dottie Kozak says
I made this last night (also made it in October) and have shared it with my Keto friends. It’s one of our favorites. I made cauliflower rice as I knew the gravy was one of the best things about this dish. I read that someone used cream cheese in their gravy, and I will add that the next time I make it. Truly delicious. Thanks for sharing!!!

Can’t wait to try this!
Dori says
Could you make this in a crock pot?
Sherri says
So, so good!!! Always double meatballs for a 2nd meal! The sauce is out of this world! Even drizzled over green beans! Served over mashed cauliflower/potatoes. My husband doesn’t like mashed cauliflower but I have found that if I add one potato to the frozen cauliflower and cook in chicken broth, the cauliflower smell and flavor is gone. Drain well, put back in hot pot to cook off any remaining water, mash, add butter, cream, sour cream, salt and pepper and you have some outstanding “mashed potatoes”! My husband loves them!!
Thank you so much for the wonderful recipe!!
★★★★★
Levi says
If there’s a tag for “comfort food” this should have it. So delicious and exactly the flavor profile I was after!
★★★★★
Ceci says
Just made this recipe tonight and it was FANTASTIC! Thank you so much for sharing it– it was a hit with my husband :)
★★★★★
Jen says
Absolutely delicious!! Comfort food at its finest! I made this exactly as the recipe says and I wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you for sharing this with us!
★★★★★
Xina says
Amaaaaaaazing! Found the recipe on Google while searching for delicious, low carb dinners. My fiance loved it and even licked his plate! We made it over mashed cauliflower which is a perfect combination for a guilt free meal!
★★★★★
Ah says
The BEST!
★★★★★
Taylor says
just made this recipe for my meal prep for my work week and all I can say is WOW! I ended up doubling the meatball recipe and added in Italian Mild Sausage since I wasn’t going to eat anything else with this and I think adding in the sausage made it even better. my mouth was watering as I was cooking it. Definitely one of my go to meal preps. Thanks for the recipe and can’t wait to try more from you.
★★★★★
Mellissa Sevigny says
Thanks so much Taylor, so glad you liked it and I’ll have to try adding sausage next time!
Darcy says
I think I might love you. I won’t be making this due to my disabling fatigue but it was still enjoyable to read the recipe and have my day dreams.
Monique says
Can you freeze the meatballs with the sauce…will it heat up in the microwave ok??
Amy says
Would it work to sub the sour cream with full fat coconut milk?
Mellissa Sevigny says
It will be creamy but the flavor will definitely be different – not necessarily bad, just not the same.
Yvonne says
made this for the second time today, this time I used superfine almond flour (had the more grainy, dark one last time) and it was soo yummy, even the 3 year old said it was the ‘best food ever’!! have to pass on the compliment :)
Tbone says
Wow. This is amazing. I have made it three times and it’s my new fave. Comes out perfectly every time. Soooo good!!! Thank you!!
★★★★★
Amy says
I made this dish on Saturday evening, it was a huge hit made with cauliflower pure.
Thank you for posting.
Maryvick says
Thank you for your good recipe. It’s a presentation for me. When I will made it for my family members, It will be surprised for them.
★★★★★
Sherri says
Delicious!!! Husband and son both raved about how good it was! Since I am doing lower carb, I used one tablespoon of flour in place of the xanthan gum to thicken the sauce. Followed the rest of the recipe! Definitely a favorite!
★★★★★
Diane Craig says
I was wondering if you had ever tried ground turkey instead of beef? We just prefer the taste of turkey over beef. Also, I wanted to say that I have NEVER heard anyone else mention the “nose hairs freezing” besides me. I always knew it was below 10 degrees when your nose hairs freeze. Love your recipes!
Mellissa Sevigny says
I haven’t tried turkey Diane but it would work just fine in this recipe! It’s been awhile since I’ve been up north when it was that cold and I have to say I don’t miss it lol!
Mandy says
Can the almond flour be substituted for something else? This sounds like a great recipe and I want to try but my husband is highly allergic to almonds….
Mellissa Sevigny says
You could try coconut flour!
Sandy says
This was delicious! I went right to my favorites list. Thank you!!
★★★★★
Hope says
OMG THIS IS AMAZING my husband and kids loved. This on definitely going into my recipe folder
★★★★★
Bobbie says
This was an amazing recipe. I did think the sauce needed the addition of a little more salt, but that is my personal preference. I didn’t want to wast any of the sauce so I served this over Cauliflower Rice. My husband and I will bring the leftovers to work for lunch. I will make this again.
Lynn Price says
Just made this last night. What a great recipe! I poured it over cauliflower rice, and felt like I was in a swanky restaurant. Well, not really, because I had my three rescue dogs begging. Next time, I’ll make the meatballs and freeze them, and just make the sauce. This quickens up the whole process. Thanks so much!
★★★★★
lisa russo says
I have made this a half-dozen times, never fails to satisfy. I don’t even miss egg noodles or rice. This is truly better than the original! Thank You!
Lydia Douglas says
Made this tonight. Was awesome.

Thanks so much, glad you liked it!

Vicki C says
Just made the meatballs and they are amazing! Wish I’d done a double batch. Anyone have suggestions for prepping the sauce components for freezer? Trying to prepare for a busy couple of months at work.
Mindy J says
Delicious. Thank you for helping me stay on my low carb diet. You have the best recipes! I know because I scour the internet searching for upscale recipes to try. Yours never let me down.
Mellissa Sevigny says
Thanks so much Mindy, that means a lot to me!!
MidwifeKrysis says
Made this tonight, using TJs frozen meatballs cuz I had them and I was lazy. Made wide egg noodles for the family and mashed cauliflower for me. Very good and everyone (ages 14-49 years old) thought it was worth making again. Thanks!
★★★★★
Sabrina @ Familynano says
Hello Mellissa,
I have one question.
Would it work with just the ground beef, and not patties?
★★★★★
Anika says
Has anyone tried this with spaghetti squash? How’s the flavor/texture?
Kt says
Hi, I was wondering if you have any tips on using this recipe in a Crock-Pot. Would you do everything the same and then put it in a crock pot? Thanks!?
Mellissa Sevigny says
I suppose you could brown the mushrooms and onions and add the rest of the gravy ingredients and pour it over the uncooked patties. You may need to increase the liquid a bit though to account for evaporation. Let us know how it comes out if you try it!
Mrs. Leeberg says
This has become a staple recipe in our low-carb home. It’s so delicious and filling! Thank you so much for sharing such an amazing low-carb dish! :)
John says
Making this tonight for the family. Thanks so much for this great recipe!!

Made 5 batches for my sons grad party….baked and froze…thawed and added to sauce…so many compliments! Thanks again!
Mellissa Sevigny says
Glad it was a hit Liz, thanks for letting me know!
Jenn says
What is a serving size? Am planning on trying soon, looks like one my fam would eat.
Jenn says
Never mind I just found it☺️
Jessica says
My fiancé and I are new to the low carb lifestyle and I was looking for something that could curb our comfort food cravings and OH MY GOODNESS was this perfect! This was one of his favorite meals growing up so being able to continue with traditions along with leading a more healthy life together makes my heart so happy! This is actually the first comment I’ve ever written about a recipe I’ve tried and I have to say this was fantastic! We enjoyed every bite! Thanks for sharing
Liz says
Comment to post above….I like the heavy/firm meatballs. Filler is just to stretch the dollar, plus they are more likely to fall apart. The sauce helps with moistening. They are NOT dry. Thanks for the wonderful great tasting, real-homemade recipes.
★★★★★
Liz says
Fantastic recipe! My sons and husband loved them! Next time I will dice the onions..won’t change the flavor, just preference. Thank you for the delicious, gourmet tasting recipe.
★★★★★
Kelsey says
I just made this for my husband and myself. We both just started a low-carb diet, and this was the first recipe I picked. It was very good. I chose to make up some zoodles and dump them in with the onions. It was really good, and I will definitely make again.
P.S. The husband is pretty picky, so I am rather pleased!
★★★★★
Kylie says
What does 80/20 mean in terms of the ground beef ?
Mellissa Sevigny says
When you buy ground beef (in the states at least) it will usually have a percentage of fat to lean – 80/20 is the fat to lean ratio that I find works the best for meatballs – if they don’t break it down where you live it’s usually called ground chuck!
patti says
is the 80/20 considered lean or medium??
Caitlin says
So I made these may 1st. And I’m made them again last night, may 11th. This time I made more smaller meatballs so I can sneak one or two every now and then and not feel too guilty. These are WAY TOO GOOD. On next weeks grocery and meal list, I am going to include more of your recipes.
Caitlin says
Wow. This is the best stroganoff I’ve ever made/eaten! I added maybe a tablespoon of Italian bread crumbs, and a teaspoon more of Worcestershire sauce to the meatballs. I served over mashed baby yellow potatoes, mixed with vegan sour cream, chives, and a dash of almond milk. I had my one serving and my boyfriend had 2.5! So glad I have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Thank you!
Rachel says
In all my sauce making days, I’ve learned you can use cream cheese as a thickener! :) I will try this recipe tonight and use a pat of cream cheese in place of butter (or both maybe haha!) Thank you for the recipe, my low carb ground beef recipes were struggling.
★★★★★
Mia says
Thoroughly enjoyed by the whole family. This will be a regular rotation for us.
Paula House says
This sounds amazing! I’m trying this tonight! I’m going with the pureed cauliflower, as well! My boyfriend’s grandson is GF and coming for dinner so this meal is perfect! Thanks!

Tmb says
Did not like this recipe. It needs filler to make the meat not so heavy.
Mellissa Sevigny says
Sorry you weren’t a fan, you can increase the almond flour or add crushed pork rinds to bulk them up further if you’d like.
Jane says
I had procrastinated going to the grocery storm before this storm in DC and there wasn’t any fresh meat or vegetables left at the store. I picked up a package of pre-made meatballs, something I had never bought before. I used those meatballs and made the sauce per the recipe (nope, substituted chicken broth) and it turned out fabulously. I was amazed that I had all of the ingredients in the house. I served it over organic riced cauliflower from Trader Joe’s. Definitely will make again with your meatball recipe.
Mellissa Sevigny says
Glad it was a hit even though you had to improvise Jane! Sounds like perfect storm food to me!
Betsy Bonnet says
Nice recipe. I made this last night and the family enjoyed their meal. I used 1/2 grass fed beef and 1/2 ground turkey and everything else the same. It does make a lot of sauce so I would make 1 1/2 of the meatballs so the excess sauce does not go to waste.
Karima says
I am having to do without an oven for a week or so – would this recipe be possible in a slow cooker? Love the sound of this !
Tricia says
These were amazing! The meatballs will be my go to for other recipes from now on too. I didn’t have onion or garlic so I subbed powder, also I’m not a mushroom fan so left those out and it was still delish. Had over zoodles. Hubby approved as well. Thank you!
★★★★★
Jared says
Really late to the party here – but I’m wondering if I use 96/4 ground turkey (1g fat per 4 oz serving) for the meatballs, how does that change the nutritional facts for the serving size. I didn’t know how you computed that out on your end.
Thanks – looking forward to trying this in the new year to replace my everyday chicken/sweet potato/broccoli.
Mellissa Sevigny says
I’m sorry I don’t have time to calculate for each person’s adjustments Jared, but if you enter the info into MyFitnessPal or CalorieKing you can find out exactly what it would be with your changes!
Rosa Miller says
Just a quick question . I’m trying these for the first time tonight and they look fantastic. Any time I find an awesome recipe i share it with my BFF. They have several food allergies, one being a dairy allergy. My question is could you substitute the sour cream for coconut cream instead? If you know already that would be great or I can just make this again next week and let you know.
★★★★★
Mellissa Sevigny says
You could, it would change the flavor a bit but should still be good!
Gina says
I made these for the first time tonight and they are FABULOUS. I think this is going to become a regular in my house! :D

Holly says
yes!!!! I have a large family (10), so I had to enlarge the recipe. It was spectacular!!! I served it over broccoli noodles. Thanks bunches!

Robin says
Oh man, my husband and I had these tonight! I was trying to decide on one of your many meatball options and I had what I needed for this one. It seemed like there was a lot of sauce, but we just kind of ate it like soup. Next time, I probably won’t use as much beef broth. I’m pretty excited that we get to have the other half of this recipe again. Yum! I really had not thought about so many kinds of meatballs. We love to have a bacon cheese burger, which my hubby cooks in the bacon grease, but I love the idea of so many different ways to eat a mini burger. Just color me meatball lover! Can’t wait to try more of these yummy meatball recipes. Pinning this one :)
★★★★★
bleu says
Looks fantastic. I discovered an interesting thing recently when making a keto stroganoff for myself. I used to always use some wine in my sauce, it gave it this extra something that made it perfect. Well I decided to try using Fine Herb Goat Cheese in place of sour cream and in place of the wine because goat cheese has a bit of a tang. I usually just use one of those little logs you can get at any store. It melted perfectly and gave it such a perfect taste! I sometimes thin it a bit with some HWC.
Anyhow I just wanted to share. I adore all your recipes!!
Mellissa Sevigny says
Great idea and I love the flavor of goat cheese – I can totally see how it would add a similar flavor to the wine! Thanks for sharing, going to try your trick soon! :)
Melodymaker says
Definitely goimg to try this. Was wondering though if you had a substitution for worchestershire sauce? I am not able to have any sugar no matter how minute. Really wish they had a sugar free one as it is one of my favorite seasonings.
Mellissa Sevigny says
You can try coconut aminos or just omit it if necessary!
melodymaker says
Thanks. As soon as I feel up to it I will definitely try this recipie.
Amanda says
These look amazing and I would love to make them for my diabetic husband. The question that I have is that his DR told him not to do the Net Carb thing that it is better to watch the regular carbs. Do you have the nutrition values for you recipes that are not net carbs?
Sandi O'Dell says
I am on my fourth week of low carb eating and was getting kind of bored. I tried this recipe last night using just your sauce with the mushrooms, onions, and some butter steak strips. Wow! It is delicious and easy! Thank you for adding flavor to my new eating habits!

Happy Monday! Just letting you know that I featured this recipe in my Deliciously Healthy Low-Carb Recipes Round-Up for last month. Hope a lot of my readers will click over here and try it!
Allison says
Hey there! These look so yummy! We aren’t gluten free or low-carb in my house though. As for the sauce, the xantham gum is just a thickener, yeah? So we could use wheat flour to make a thick-ish sauce? REALLY looking forward to making these tonight!
danisha says
I made this for the first time tonight for my family. I have 3 teenage boys and it was a hit with all 3. My hubby loved it as well. A definite go to meal from now on. Thank you for all of these great recipes. They really help us low carbers stay the course.

Dawn @OhSweetMercy says
This was delicious and easy! I made it with ground turkey and subbed cooked quinoa with a tsp of psyllium husks (what I had on hand). The sauce was fabulous (and I don’t even like mushrooms). Next time I make this I will serve over cauli rice. It’s been ages since I’ve had stroganoff so I was glad to have found this recipe! Thanks!
★★★★★
Dawn @OhSweetMercy says
Ok I made this again tonight and it is definitely going to make a regular appearance on our table. The whole family loves it!
Mehr says
I made this for dinner 2 nights in a row and my fiancée hates sour cream, however you can barely taste it in the base and he never even noticed! I am truly impressed. This recipe was simple, quick and easy to put together. The meatballs were the only thing that took a big longer for me since I doubled the recipe. We used arrowroot powder to thicken the sauce instead of xanthan gum and it worked perfectly. Thank you Melissa for sharing! I will be trying more of your recipes without a doubt! :)

Sevysia says
The first time I tried low carb years and years ago, I used to make a “mock” beef stroganoff… I ate it almost every night! Back then the low carb recipes and websites were few and far between. Your version looks much better than the one I made. I am looking forward to trying it!
A suggestion for a quick easy “noodle” is frozen French cut green beans… It’s what I used long ago before I ever heard of zoodles (which I really want to try!).
Kim Luther says
Can the cooked meatballs be frozen and heated up with the same great taste? What about freezing before cooking. Any suggestions. I made the Marinara Meatballs the other night and they were fabulous.
Laura says
Best recipe that I have made in a LONG time!!! My husband found it on FB and was glad he did, Thanks!!
★★★★★
Gail says
These are wonderful! Made a double batch with ground turkey and ground sirloin. Whizzed my own almond flour in FP, because almond flour is so ridiculously expensive. Did not have xantham gum so omitted it. Served with cauliflower “rice”. Family was counting the meatballs to be sure they each got their fair share. =)
Fabulous recipe! Thank you!

Mellissa Sevigny says
Glad these were a hit with the entire family Gail, thanks for letting me know! :)
movita beaucoup says
On the weekend, we got snow, followed by rain, followed by flooding, and topped with freezing. I can’t leave my house right now. BUT I WANT STROGANOFF.
It’s. Just. So. Hard.
Mellissa Sevigny says
There. There. Usually I’d mock you mercilessly and enthusiastically with my warm South Carolina temps, but we’re still up in New York and it’s FREEZING here so I feel your pain tiny Canadian. I forgot how much I hate driving in the snow too – but I can only stand being housebound for so long! Later this week it won’t even get out of the single digits for the high temp – I might cry. Or eat a lot of meatballs. Possibly both…at the same time…
Rachel says
This looks delicious. I need to go grocery shopping and get some of these ingredients. I think I have just about everything but the meat. Tomorrow seems as good a day as any, it’s going to be practically balmy, with a high in the low 30’s and some snow. That’s a good day for this week. (I’m in NYC … Brooklyn)
Mellissa Sevigny says
We’re up in Warwick, NY right now and to say that I’m looking forward to it even reaching the high 20’s today is a gross understatement! Get thee to the store, and then make a double batch! You’ll need them because we’re back in the single digits by Friday! *sob*
Rachel says
I just hit a meat market, one where I’ve never shopped (apparently, they’ve been open since 1920). Among other things, I bought a pound of ground chuck, and a pound of ground sirloin. They’re marked terribly, so I won’t have a clue which is which until I open them (if I can even discern the difference). I don’t think I have enough mushrooms to double up on those, but I kind of think I’m going to double the recipe, and it will just be light on mushroom. Not a big deal.
I like the idea of just having food ready to go. It’s just the cooking part that gets me, LOL
Mellissa Sevigny says
Sounds great Rachel – and I know what you mean about having the food ready to go, but not feeling like cooking it! Welcome to my world lol!
Patty says
What might I use in place of the almond flour, which I’m allergic to?
Mellissa Sevigny says
Lots of people use ground pork rinds or you can use grated parmesan cheese in place of the almond flour! Enjoy!
Patty says
Thanks, Mellissa, both sound wonderful.
Mary says
I was just wondering, we have a nut allergy and many flours are out for us. I was thinking flax meal would work? And would fine flax meal work in place of xantham gum?
Mellissa Sevigny says
Flax meal would work in the meatballs but the flax in the gravy would probably be gross – you’re better off omitting it and just having a looser sauce I think!
Debs says
We made this for dinner last night and it was awesome…. I cannot stand mushrooms so I left them out and the taste was fabulous… I also doubled the recipe and baked all the meatballs instead of frying them, just adding them to the sauce afterwards. I served it with cauliflower puree and cabbage noodles :) Keeper recipe! thanks!

So glad you liked these meatballs Debs, and it’s a smart move to double the recipe! Glad to know that the baking works on this one – sometimes I miss the flavor of the seared meatballs when I bake them and I wondered how it would work out in this recipe so thanks!!!
Kjersten says
I made this last night and it was SO GOOD!!! I put it on cauliflower rice to help soak up some of the sauce, with a side of roasted asparagus. DELICIOUS! Thank you!

Mellissa Sevigny says
Yay Kjersten! I didn’t even think of serving it over cauliflower rice but what a great idea! You get nice texture but it still soaks up the sauce perfectly – definitely going to try that one next! So glad you enjoyed it and thanks for taking the time to let me know! :)
Laurie says
Stroganoff is one of my favorite flavors! I can’t wait to try this! I’m thinking that a 50/50 mix of beef and pork would be good as well?
Mellissa Sevigny says
I’m always a fan of mixing beef and pork in meatballs or meatloaf Laurie! Let me know what you think!
Leeann says
Looks amazing! I will definitely be making these next week!
Mellissa Sevigny says
Awesome Leeann, let us know how you liked it and what you served it with!!
Kaye says
Sorry Xanthan gum…
Scott says
Then leave it out, or use a thickener of your choosing.
Shelly Foster says
She was correcting her mistake from her above comment.. not complaining lol
Kaye says
These look great!
I don’t have xanthem gum, can it be substituted with arrowroot starch?
Mellissa Sevigny says
Yes – that will work just as well Kaye – enjoy!

Mellissa,
These meatballs Look good, I am making these for Monday nights dinner. Do you have another ERecipe book coming out soon? I have four of your Ebooks and I cook from them all the time. Our family favorite is cornless muffins with bacon crumbled on top. SO Very Yummy.
Thank you for all your work bringing us great meals to feed our families

I’m snowed in today, but, surprise!, I have everything I need to make these. I love beef stroganoff. I’m having steak and asparagus for dinner tonight, but I’ll take the ground beef out of the freezer today and make these tomorrow.
Mellissa Sevigny says
Ooh, can’t wait to hear what you think of them Jan! Please report back!!! Also you can never go wrong with steak and asparagus – yum!!!
Jan says
Melissa, those were spot on! I thought about cutting the recipe in half, but I’m glad I didn’t. Now I have 3 more servings to take to lunch or have for a dinner repeat. I had the stroganoff with zoodles – I enjoyed it greatly. Thanks for another great recipe!
Mellissa Sevigny says
So glad you liked this one Jan, thanks for letting me know! Leftover meatballs are ALWAYS a good thing, amiright????
