You can’t go wrong with meatballs and gravy. My whole family loves this meal. It is great over creamy cauliflower mash or traditional mashed potatoes. This comforting and cozy meal is Paleo, Keto and Whole30 compliant!

Recipe Tips:

  • The meatballs are super easy to make but there are a few tips to keep them nice and tender. First things first, buy good ground beef. I get my ground beef from ButcherBox. It is grass fed and has the best flavor.
  • You want to make sure that you don’t over-mix the meat. You want to incorporate all the ingredients but don’t work it too much or they will be tough.
  • My biggest tip for mushrooms is to never wash them under running water, they will absorb all that liquid. To clean them, just take a damp paper towel and wipe them clean
  • When adding the onion and garlic, you want to grate them in. This adds moisture but also helps the meatballs stick together. When you add larger chunks of onion, they are more likely to fall apart.

    Just wanted to share that I made these! I’m based in Tanzania and I knew I would have a hard time finding coconut aminos and arrowroot powder. I doubled the balsamic and used sweet potato flour (for the first time actually) and it all worked out really well! I served over Whole30 compatible mashed potatoes. I really enjoyed them, would make again!

  5. The calories are for which and what amount of food? How many meatballs and how much gravy are in that calorie count?
