These Keto Shepherd's Pie Meatballs contain all of the comforting flavors of the classic shepherd's pie, in a fun new low carb meatball format!

Keto Shepherd's Pie Meatballs

beef (80/20)

lamb

almond flour

eggs

tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

carrot

thyme leaves

garlic powder

onion powder

salt

black pepper

olive oil

tomato paste

chicken broth

mustard

xanthan gum

Put all of the meatball ingredients (except for the oil) into a medium-sized bowl.  Mix well with your hands, and then form into 18 meatballs, about 2 inches in diameter. 

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes, or until the oil is shimmering.  

Add the meatballs and cook for about 3 minutes, then turn over with tongs and cook for an additional 3 minutes, or until golden brown.  

Remove the meatballs from the pan and set aside.  

To make the meatballs:

Add all of the sauce ingredients to the same skillet you cooked the meatballs in and stir well.

Bring the sauce to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and add the meatballs back to the pan and stir to coat in the sauce.  

Simmer the sauce for 10 minutes, or until it has thickened and reduced by about one third, and the meatballs are cooked through.

Serve hot, preferably over a serving of Keto Cheddar Leek Cauliflower Mash.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. 

To make the sauce:

Thaks so much.  i saw the different options, I was just wondering which would be the most simnilar to lamb.  I have plenty of ground turkey on hand.  I'll give that a try.  This will be the third time making this recipe.  Fantastic flavor.

Lamb in any form costs an arm and a leg here so I subbed ground turkey. This is probably my favorite meal that I've made from your blog. I could put this sauce on anything.

I’m not a fan of lamb, so I just used 2lbs of ground beef, and this was a delicious recipe. I’ve been looking to get away from my normal rotation and this was a great break away.

We LOVE lamb, but for reasons that matter not, we didn’t have any.  I used 2 pounds of a beef, pork, veal mixture.  Made the leek Cali mash.  Doubled the sauce.  OUTSTANDING!!!  Honestly, people need to follow your way of making cauliflower mashed potatoes.... you have it down to a science!

I love this recipe.  I typically don't have lamp on hand and use all beef instead and it's still delicious.  Love it with the Cauliflower Mash with Leeks.

Winner winner, meatball dinner!!  One of the best meatball recipes I have tried in a very long time.  Very tender and so flavourful.  I served it with your Keto Cheddar Leek Cauliflower Mash using Kerrygold sharp aged cheddar and green onions instead of leeks because I couldn't find any decent leeks.

Absolutely delicious!! And I made it with the leek cheddar cauli mash and it was amazing! Thanks for your awesome recipes!
