These keto Swedish meatballs are SO easy to make and the best part is that it is all made entirely in one pot, so no need to dirty a hundred dishes! It can also be made in a crockpot!

Now you may have had authentic Swedish meatballs in Sweden, or maybe you’ve bought some while you were shopping at Ikea.. either way, you will LOVE these!

They are fairly easy to make but I have a few tips!

I suggest chopping the onion very fine – mine were a bit too big for the meatballs, but it still worked out ok.

As well, I’d use beef with the highest fat count available to you. I bought mine at Tesco and they were 18% fat… but I saw some as low as 5%.. Ideally, for keto, you want the high fat meat.

You will find that the when you add the broth and sour cream, it might be really liquidy. This is why I let it simmer for about 30ish minutes. That will evaporate a lot of the excess water and thicken up the sauce quite a bit.

I recommend serving with a side of cauliflower rice. YUM.
