A Few of My Favorite Tips

Shall we share a few secrets? First, don’t skimp on the nutmeg and allspice — they’re the heart and soul of this dish. If you’re feeling adventurous, add a pinch of smoked paprika for a subtle warmth. And remember, these meatballs freeze beautifully, making them ideal for keto meal prep ideas for the week.

How I Like to Serve This

I love serving these meatballs over a bed of zucchini noodles or cauliflower mash. The creamy sauce pairs wonderfully with the subtle flavors of these sides. For a touch of color and freshness, a sprinkle of chopped parsley or a side of roasted cherry tomatoes works wonders.

Storing & Reheating (If There’s Any Left!)

Should you find yourself with leftovers (a rare occurrence, I assure you), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, simply warm them in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of beef broth if the sauce needs a little reviving.
