Flavorful keto meatballs complete with a rich sauce, based on IKEA’s official Swedish Meatballs recipe.

Do you love famous IKEA Swedish meatballs for dinner?

Well, guess what?! We’ve made our own keto Swedish meatballs version (& accompanying sauce!) that are so delicious, you won’t even be able to tell the difference from the original!

When IKEA released its secret recipe for their famous Swedish meatballs, we noticed quickly that they’re unfortunately not keto-friendly. Bummer! No worries though, as we came up with a low-carb keto version that is sure to impress your family at dinnertime!

I am telling you, this meal is the definition of comfort food! These savory meatballs are so darn good, and something interesting to add to your keto weekly meal rotation!

IKEA INSPIRED KETO SWEDISH MEATBALLS

yield: 5 SERVINGS

prep time: 20 MINUTES

cook time: 50 MINUTES

total time: 1 HOUR 10 MINUTES

Flavorful meatballs complete with a rich sauce, based on IKEA’s official Swedish Meatballs recipe.

INGREDIENTS

Swedish Meatballs:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 pound ground pork
• 1/2 onion, diced
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 egg
• 4 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Swedish Sauce:

• 3 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 3/4 cup beef stock
• 3/4 cup vegetable stock
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon ground mustard

DIRECTIONS

1.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

2.In a large bowl, add all the ingredients together for the meatballs and mix. Use a potato masher or your hands to combine everything together. Divide meatball mixture out into about 1″ meatballs using a spoon or small cookie scoop. I was able to get 25 out of one batch.

Tip – I recommend letting the meatballs chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours so they don’t fall apart while cooking.

3.Place a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of oil. Once the oil is hot, place meatballs in the skillet to sear on all sides. It should take about 1 minute to sear each side.

4.After all the sides have seared, place meatballs on the lined baking sheet, and put in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

5.While meatballs are in the oven, drain the cast-iron skillet of any leftover grease and then use the same skillet for the sauce. Over low-medium heat, add butter and xanthan gum and whisk until it has reached a slow simmer.

6.Add in beef and vegetable stock, and whisk for about 2 minutes. Then add in coconut aminos and ground mustard.

7.Slowly add in the heavy cream while whisking and let simmer for 5 minutes. The sauce will thicken, but if it is too thick, you can add an extra tablespoon of stock to thin it out.

8.Plate meatballs on a platter and pour the sauce over top. Top with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy!

This twist on chicken fajitas needs to be on your dinner table tonight!

I don’t know about you but I can never have enough casseroles in my recipe book. This keto chicken fajita casserole has been requested weekly by my family and I sure do enjoy making it. It’s packed with flavor from the various peppers, onions, and our homemade keto taco seasoning. This low carb casserole will have you dancing in your seat.

I’m a huge fan of peppers so I used all the colors, but if you aren’t a fan of certain bell pepper varieties, you can double up on the ones you love. Add some fresh sliced avocados, a dollop of sour cream, and your Taco Tuesday will be better than ever!

Tips for making the best keto chicken fajita casserole:

• I boiled four chicken breasts to shred, but if you want to speed up the time for this recipe, you can buy pre-shredded chicken or even grab a rotisserie chicken from Sam’s or Costco.
• Did you know that you can use your mixer to shred chicken? It’s super easy to do! I just throw the chicken into my KitchenAid mixer with the paddle attachment on, set it to low for about a minute, and mix. Easy peasy and it’s perfectly shredded without having to do it by hand.
• I used our keto taco seasoning for this casserole — it really tastes so much better than store-bought. However, if you’re running short on time, feel free to grab a package of your favorite low carb taco seasoning.
• I didn’t drain the can of Rotel tomatoes when adding them to this recipe. By not draining, it really boosts the flavor while achieving the perfect consistency.
• I used my FullStar vegetable chopper to quickly dice the peppers and onions. It’s such a time saver in the kitchen and gets used frequently!

When you need to get a whole meal on the table without creating a mess of dishes in the sink, try out a casserole dinner. This keto Chicken Cordon Bleu casserole recipe brings together the savory flavors of chicken, sliced ham, and Swiss cheese. YUM!

 It’s creamy with a kick from the Dijon mustard and really binds all the elements of this simple meal together. And just for fun, I’ve topped the whole spread with shredded parmesan cheese for an extra bit of flavor!

A few tips when making keto Chicken Cordon Bleu:

• Want to add a crunch to the topping? Try using crushed pork rinds or pork rind crumbs to add crispiness to the topping.
• Not a fan of pork rinds? Try adding bacon crumbles over top to add some crunch and saltiness.
• Needing a side dish? Serve with your favorite keto vegetables or even some cauliflower rice. Some steamed broccoli would add freshness and crunch to the dish as well!
