These easy and delicious Paleo Salisbury Steak Meatballs are great for families, kid friendly, Whole30 compliant and perfect with mashed white or sweet potatoes! Gluten free, dairy free, sugar free, ready is 30 minutes.
Salisbury steak – it was dinner – the microwavable-TV-variety – at least twice per week for years of my childhood. And you know what?! I actually, secretly, loved it. TV dinner comfort food at its finest. Not joking. One bit.
You know what I didn’t love though? The fact that it was impossible to get those plastic covered mashed potatoes to come out any other way besides half frozen, half burn-your-tongue-off. Yes, I tried slitting the plastic (shudder.)
Yes, I tried stopping it not once, not twice, but THREE times to stir them with no real luck. That was called “recipe testing” back in 1992. Frozen mashed potatoes and the cherry dessert thing would be steaming for the next hour.
Anyway! Since my kids never had the pleasure of rocking their dinner, TV style, I didn’t even attempt to recreate the “official” salisbury steak of yesteryears.
The shape would scare them away, I’m certain. BUT! Something they really never turn down, is meatballs.
We make meatballs twice per week around here, so I like having more than one go-to recipe that I know will be a hit.
So here you go, children. You will be fed homemade Paleo salisbury steak – in meatball form! Frozen mashed potatoes optional.
Okay, you caught me, my potatoes were most definitely not frozen!
But, I did go the mashed potato route since it would’ve felt so wrong not to. I mashed mine up with coconut milk and ghee and they were perfect – if only I had known then what I know now…
But fast forward to 2017 and a whole lot has changed (for the better.) I had to make these salisbury steak meatballs one of those one-pan dinners that – you guessed it – is ready in 30 minutes, because – THIS IS LIFE, after all, and time doesn’t grow on trees.
But it does take time to grow trees, so I’m not sure if that helped me make my point. Point is, 30 minutes is often all we have on any given night to cook dinner.
Where were we? Salisbury steak meatballs, of course. Don’t be scared when you see the ingredient list – there are quite a few ingredients involved to get that signature salisbury steak flavor, but the method is simple. You mix the meatballs and roll them, brown them, remove from pan, then make the sauce.
The sauce/gravy really makes the meal, in my opinion.
I used the grass fed beef bone broth from Western Grassfed Beef and it gave the sauce a rich flavor that was absolutely perfect for the meatballs! The bone broth comes in an easy pour 12oz pouch, contains no synthetic nitrates or nitrites, and no MSG.
It’s also gluten free, Certified Paleo, sugar free, from 100% Grass Fed and Grass Finished Beef.
In fact ALL products from Western Grassfed beef are 100% grass-fed and finished, born and raised in the USA.
Are you guys ready to start cooking? Get the skillet, the spices, the broth, and let’s go!

meredith (The Cookie ChRUNicles) says
i totally ate tv dinners and can almost taste the brownie with the spirnkles in the top center of the plate! ha! I think I ate the fried chicken tv dinners the most. no joke, I keep thinking I will make meatballs or hamburgers one of these days and actually eat it, not just make it for my son! we shall see.
Ellen says
MAKE THESE!!!!
Emily says
Wow this would TOTALLY be so much better than those TV dinners. It already looks droolworthy just looking at it before breakfast.
Bree says
Would this work with regular beef stock/broth instead of bone broth?
Michele says
Yup that would be fine 🙂
Crystal says
Could you use potato starch instead of arrowroot?
Ellen says
These Meatballs are AMAZING!!! Made them last night, mu husband LOVED them! These are definitely something to add to the dinner rotation! Love all of your recipes!
Michele says
Oh wow I’m SO glad you loved them! And great to have something else to put in the rotation!
Heather says
The directions for sauce indicate that there is tomato paste in the sauce but I don’t see an amount listed in the sauce ingredients, just in the meat mixture list. Just wondering how much to add to sauce….
Michele says
Thank you so much for catching that! I added that by accident in the direction and there isn’t any extra tomato space in the sauce – only the 2 tbsp in the meatballs themselves.
Tina says
Oh my gosh! This recipe was so good! So often, I go to food blogs and try recipes only to be disappointed. But this was excellent. I’m glad I doubled the recipe for leftovers. My husband and teenage son loved it too. I’m definitely making this again. I could eat the gravy with a spoon!
Michele says
Yay! I’m so thrilled to hear you guys all liked it!
Nicole says
Delicious recipe! Made last night for the family…love when I find a whole 30 recipe that my entire family likes! So often whole 30 recipes look good but don’t taste good…this one is delicious! Will make again!
Michele says
I’m so thrilled you guys liked them!!
Chale masters says
Would these freeze ok if I made in bulk and if yes how would recommend reheating ?
Michele says
Yes I think freezing would be fine, and I’d probably reheat covered in the oven, probably around 350-400 but not totally sure.
Hope B says
These were so crazy good that at the end of the meal my fiancé declared he wanted to eat the gravy on everything from now on! Lol! Thank you for the recipe!
Lindsey Stephens says
This was absolutely delish! My picky husband and toddler ate it without complaining! Definitely making again soon!
Lorie says
I’m very new to the paleo diet, but I didn’t think white potatoes were permitted. Can you clarify this?
Michele says
Hi! White potatoes are in the “gray area” of Paleo, however they are permitted on the Whole30, which is a strict 30 day elimination diet with similar rules to a “strict” paleo diet. It really depends on your personal health, goals, etc. Here is a great article that discusses white potatoes and paleo: https://www.thepaleomom.com/potatoes-friend-foe-paleo/ – if you decide they’re not right for you, there are so many awesome alternatives including Japanese sweet potatoes, which have white flesh and are sort of a cross between a white and sweet potato.
Dana says
Do you have a recipe for the potatoes?
Katie L says
For the meatball mixture, you state to use brown mustard. For the sauce, you just state mustard. Is it regular yellow mustard or would I use the brown mustard here as well? Planning to make these this week – they look amazing! This is my first time to your site and all the recipes so far look amazing 🙂
Michele says
I used brown for both, that said you can use a yellow mustard too, just check ingredients for anything unusual 🙂
Mistie says
So, I am not a mustard expert, not a fan. I happen to have Dijon mustard in my pantry. Is that the same as brown mustard?
Michele says
Dijon is fine unless you need to stick to Whole30 since most dijon is not compliant. Otherwise for flavor it won’t make a difference 🙂
Joanna says
Could I use something other than the almond flour? Maybe chickpea flour, tapioca flour, or coconut flour? Thanks!
Michele says
In the meatballs, you can probably leave out the almond flour entirely and they will still come together and taste fine. Coconut is too dense and tapioca would alter the texture, I’m not sure about chickpea since I haven’t worked with it, but you could add a little bit and see how it goes if you like 🙂
Joanna says
Thank you! I will give the chickpea flour a try 🙂
carolyn says
I have brown rice flour. Will that make a difference?
Have a friend who eats gluten-free. Thought I would make these for our Wednesday night get together. I’ll have to check with her about the potatoes. TIA ?
Kristen says
I tried this tonight for dinner…it was delicious! However, my meatballs wouldn’t stay together. By the end of cooking, it was more of a ground beef mush…any tips to get the meatballs to stick together?
Michele says
Hmm, I wonder if it was the beef itself, maybe too lean? I’d say 80-85% lean is ideal for meatballs. Or perhaps they stuck to the pan? Other than that, I’m not sure since I don’t think I’ve had that problem with meatballs. Glad you enjoyed it nonetheless!
Monica L says
Great recipe! It was a hit with the family! I didn’t have any mushrooms and not a big fan of brown mustard or liquid smoke so omitted those things and it still turned out great. Only thing is the sauce wasn’t as thick as I would have liked so will probably add just a touch more arrowroot powder next time, or less broth to mix it in. I served it with mashed potatoes (the sneaky kind w/ cauliflower mixed in).
Thank you for this wonderful recipe and for being a blessing to so many people with your recipes.
Michele says
So glad it worked out! Definitely an easy recipe to make your own depending on what everyone likes 🙂
Angela says
I always buy extra lean ground beef…usually 96% if I can get my hands on it…will this still work? The fattiest meat I buy is 90% lean.
Michele says
I think it probably will, my only concern would be the meat not sticking well enough since higher fat content helps with this.
Gwen says
Delicious.. definitely going into the rotation!
Michele says
Great! Thrilled you liked them 🙂
Lauren Kress says
Do you have a yummy mashed potato recipe that goes well with these?? I’m always so disappointed in my whole30 mashed potatoes!
Michele says
I don’t have an official recipe, but what I typically do is mash them with ghee, coconut cream or milk, a bit of lemon juice and nutritional yeast to taste, plus salt and pepper. I find that these ingredients work really well to recreate the traditional flavor, and you can experiment with amounts (starting with less and adding) to suits your taste 🙂
Lauren Kress says
Thank you for the suggestion! The mashed potatoes and the meatballs were perfect!! We loved them and will definitely be adding these to our go to Whole30 meals!
Michele says
Oh that’s great to hear! Thrilled you guys loved everything 🙂
Linda says
I made these to take to some neighbors as part of a meal train. They were absolutely delicious! But now I have a confession: I’ve never made it as meatballs again. Yes, I’m lazy that way. So I just ground the beef and go from there then spoon the cooked mixture over sautéed zucchini and mix in half an avocado. One of my favorite meals. Thank you!
Michele says
That’s sounds really good too! I’m so happy to hear you liked them!
Brittany says
The almond flour or the coconut sauce made these have a chalky taste. My husband usually goes for seconds, and he barely ate 2 balls 🙁
Michele says
I haven’t heard of them being chalky but I’m guessing the almond flour might have contributed depending on what brand was used? They aren’t all equal. The coconut aminos is just like soy sauce so I doubt that would make them chalky. Sorry they didn’t work out for you!
Adelei says
So..I am brand new to pale cooking and went to the store for this recipe today. Couldn’t find or didn’t have some of the ingredients. Thanks meatballs were awesome, stayed together perfectly but I tried to use coconut flour in place of the tapioca and coconut amino (don’t even know what that was and neither did my store clerk). Do NOT try this people. It made the gravy grainy and gross. Luckily I didn’t put the meatballs back in it so we salvaged dinner but I tried everything to fix the sauce…more broth, cooking longer, straining. Not sure if that is normal because I have never used different flour before….remember I am a newbie. I assumed i could make a roux with the coconut flour but possibky did it wrong…I think I will have many more trial and errors as I am not used to these ingredients.
Michele says
Ah yes, so coconut flour is EXTREMELY absorbent and you would typically need less than half of the amount of almond flour, so for every one cup of almond flour it’s more like 6 Tbsp or so coconut flour. Also coconut aminos is just like soy sauce, so if you’re not following a strict paleo or whole30 diet you can always sub in soy sauce, GF if needed. I’ll link to the coconut aminos I use, which I buy from my local stores – either Shoprite or Stop & Shop. Typically store clerks don’t know every product, I’ve noticed coconut aminos is sometimes placed near the vinegar and sometimes in the organic section but almost never near soy sauce, strange. Here’s the link: http://amzn.to/2sYl4Ky – also, it could be helpful to read this guide on grain free flours: https://www.savorylotus.com/grain-free-flours/ – hope this helps!
Andrea says
Oh my goodness! This recipe made me SO grateful that forced myself to do Whole 30. I would have never found it without being on the plan. My husband even asked if we could use the meatball recipe when we try meatloaf again bc they were THAT good! Thank you so much for this recipe. It’s a total game changer!
Michele says
That’s awesome! So happy you liked it. And a meatloaf version would be great 🙂
Heather says
Okay, I know these are super quick BUT I was wondering if they could be done in the crockpot. Do you have any suggestions or so you think the crockpot wouldn’t work for this one? My husband and I LOVE your recipes, by the way! ???
Michele says
The only time I’ve made meatballs in a crockpot was when there was a good deal of sauce along with them, I’m not sure these would work that way since there isn’t much sauce. For my other ones, I brown them a bit either by broiling or pan-frying and then cool in the sauce for about 3 hours on low. Glad you’re enjoying the recipes!
Tara says
Yuuummmazing!! Happened across these bad boys while searching for Whole 30 beef meatballs and I do believe they’re a game changer. Oh so incredibly delicious. I can hardly believe the flavor!!
Thank you for this addition to my beef recipe rotation… Whole 30 or not!!
Michele says
Yay! So happy you like them! I agree Whole30 or not they’re just good 🙂
Cherie Weinstein says
Very tasty; thanks!. I re-hydrated 1 generous tablespoonful of dried porcini mushrooms in 1/2 c hot water and added both water and porcini to my mushroom mix. I usually prefer baking my meatballs (400° 18-20 min) so I baked 1/2 and fried half. For me the baked balls hung together a bit more. Though we haven’t eaten dinner yet, my not-so-healthy eating husband tasted and gave his approval!
Michele says
Sounds good! Hubby approval is always a good thing 🙂
Lisa says
How many meatballs does this recipe make? & what is considered a serving?
Thanks!
Anya says
Hi – how integral are the mushrooms? I am allergic to them. Thanks!
Michele says
You can make them without and it should be just fine 🙂
Rebekah says
Sooooo delicious!! I’ve never made Salisbury steak before and I like this meatball version so you don’t have to have a huge patty. Even my son said to “add it to the list” of dinners. So yum!! I used two pounds of beef and I used coconut flour and it all turned out great.
Michele says
So happy you guys liked it!
Vicky says
I definitely ate TV dinners growing up! I just made your Salisbury Steak Meatballs and they are absolutely delicious! I just wonder…how do your Meatballs have such a nice shape? When I was browning them they were falling apart!
Michele says
I’m not sure, maybe they stuck to the pan a bit? Mine haven’t fallen apart, it could be the almond flour also, not sure. In any case, glad they tasted good!
Lisa says
I made this with deer meat, my family went crazy and said it’s a keeper. Thanks for the great recipe!
Lynn Ryan says
I was reading through the comments wondering about using venison since I have a whole freezer full – I am just worried it is too lean and they won’t really stick together as meatballs – did you have any issues?
Michele says
So happy you enjoyed, sounds fabulous!
Ashley says
This looks delicious. Any suggestions on substituting the Onion & Garlic power if we are trying to stay true to the FODMAP’s list?
Michele says
You can simply omit them, there will be some flavor missing but I believe they’ll still taste good. You can sub in some dried chives to make up for the onion flavor 🙂
Era says
Ohmigoodness!!! This was so good. I accidentally used coconut flour and then panicked when I read comments about how badly it will turn out if you use that type of flour. If you use 100% grass feed beef, add an additional tbs of coconut aminos, and allow it to marinate for the day it will turn out perfect. I have really crazy nights with kids as a single mom, so I prepped this before work and put it in the fridge for the day. It was so easy to cook and serve to my palio and gf family. Thank you 🙂
Michele says
I’m so happy it turned out well for you!!
Teri says
Loved these! I normally bake my meatballs but frying definitely added to the sauce, because of the pan drippings. I used a lean ground sirloin,and it held up well! I did add a little fresh thyme in the sauce, cuz I had some in the fridge. I added a little garlic, parsnip and cauliflower florets to the potatoes while cooking to lower the carb count a little. My fam doesn’t care for coconut milk in mashed potatoes so I use chicken stock and ghee. It makes great light mashers!
Amber|Pen and Parent says
I wanted to let you know that I made the salisbury meatball dish and it’s DELICIOUS! I made sweet potato mash instead of mashed potatoes because the kiddos love them. So tasty. Big thanks!
Michele says
That sounds great! So happy to hear you liked it!
Brooke Reyes says
Hi! My husband and I are doing whole 30 for the second time and mannn what a difference using your recipes vs just standard meat and veggies. SO yummy and creative and I don’t feel like I’m on whole 30 at all!!!! One question about this one: how do you cook the meatballs? Brown them and then bake them? If so, at what temp and for how long in the oven? Thanks so much for all of your wonderful concoctions!!!!
Brooke
Michele says
Hi! So happy you guys have been enjoying the recipes! I definitely agree my Whole30 now tastes a lot better than my first did 🙂 For this recipe, you brown the meatballs first, then set aside while you make the sauce, then return to the skillet to simmer with the sauce. Hope it goes well!
Heather says
Can I use unblanched almond flour/meal in place of blanched almond flour? I happen to already have some Hodgson Mill brand on hand. Thanks in Advance!
Bev says
I made these last night and they were awesome! I make a lot of Mexican and Asian type paleo meals and it was great to have something different. After reading many comments about the yummy gravy, I decided to double it up. I’m s glad I did. We have plenty of delicious gravy to serve with the leftover meatballs. Thanks for posting this great recipe!,

Alexis says
Michele, Is there a nut-free flour that *might* work in place of the almond flour? I love these but I have a nut-free crowd for dinner. Thanks!
Michele says
I would go with tapioca or arrowroot, you can decrease to 3 Tbsp 🙂
Lorie says
Since the discount doesn’t work any longer you may want to remove that from your blog. Thanks.
Yolanda says
Just made this… sooo good!
Rob says
Just made this and was not impressed with the meatballs themselves…
They turned out powdery and without any flavor besides the almond flour taste
The gravy was pretty good and the mushrooms we’re good. Literally tossed 2 pounds of meat and made some quick hamburgers and put the sauce on top and it was infinitely better
Debbie says
This are great but took me over an hour and I am an experienced cook. Even so, I I’ll make them again.
Michele says
Glad you enjoyed 🙂
Morgen says
How many meatballs are in a serving?
Christie says
Salisbury steak was my favorite TV dinner growing up so I was excited to make it. I used chicken broth because it was what I had. Perfect! Will make again!!
Michele says
Oh that’s awesome!
Tracy says
My family absolutely loved this meal! Thank you for Whole 30 “comfort food.” Super tasty and tender meatballs. I will definitely make this again. Excellent.
Michele says
That’s so great to hear, glad you enjoyed!
Sajna says
How did you make the mashed potatoes? How much coconut milk and how much ghee?
Tammy says
This was so delicious. Thank you! 5/5 from my house of 3 boys! I’m heating up leftovers right now and dreaming of that gravy!
Michele says
So happy you guys liked them!
Karen Gulley says
This looks amazing! I was wondering if the meatballs could just be baked in the oven versus the frying pan first? Also, if I use a compliant beef stick/broth instead of the bone broth, would that change things? The only reason I ask is because I happen to have the stock/broth on hand.
Thanks so much!
Michele says
Yes, I think you can bake them – just not exactly sure of the timing. And yes you can use any broth with great result, just watch the salt 🙂
Amy says
I followed the recipe exactly but my meatballs completely fell apart ?
Mia says
This turned out wonderfully! I’ve actually completed my whole 30, but liked the results so much that I’m keeping my cooking pretty close to the plan.I’ve had a really hard time finding whole 30 recipes that I liked, but this was really good. I think it’s the second of your recipes that I’ve tried and I liked them both. Thank you for sharing them!
Michele says
I’m so happy you enjoyed! Hope you find a few more you like just as much 🙂
Lacey says
These were seriously amazing! I didn’t use the liquid smoke because I didn’t have any on hand. I served this over mashed white sweet potatoes. SO GOOD! And my husband and kids also loved it!
Michele says
Thrilled you enjoyed!
Sharon says
These Salisbury Steak Meatballs are our favorite meal! When I ask my non Whole30 husband what’s his choice for dinner, this is his go too! Go ole meat and potatoes for that Iowa boy! ?the flavors are perfect! thanks for sharing!
Michele says
So happy you guys love it!!
mk330 says
Hi, I see the recipe makes six servings but for the nutrition information shown, how many meatballs is that, or is there a weight to go by? I know there can be a difference based on how big or small you make the meatballs but would love to have an idea of what the serving size is for the nutrition information.
Michele says
Hi, unfortunately I usually eyeball this so I’m not sure how many meatballs, though you can divide the total number you make by the number of servings to get a good idea.
Kim says
Great recipe Michele. It took a lot more prep time! I’m not a chef and definitely not a seasoned cook. If I would have chopped& measured the night before it would have been a lot quicker. My first paleo meal. Tasted great! Thanks!
Kitty says
Whoa! This was a huge hit even with the non-whole30 part of the family! Happy to add this to the regular meal rotation 🙂
Jessica M says
Made this for dinner tonight. Husby said this is what a tv dinner wishes it tasted like… And that it was missing cut green beans.
Katie says
I’ve made these many times and love them! Wonder how they’d turn out with ground turkey instead of beef? Any suggestions?
Marissa says
so yummy! i did them in air fryer! worked great!
Carol Means says
I made this for the family tonight, which included a couple of picky eaters under the age of 8 and it was a big hit. The whole family enjoyed it a little too much as I have zero leftovers for my lunch tomorrow.
Mallorie says
The taste of this is out of this world, so good!! My favorite Whole30 meal!! 🙂 As an aside, just wish I could get the meat from crumbling apart but it tastes so good we just eat it in a bowl! Lol
Sarah says
I have made these a couple of times and we love them (me + 3yo daughter). I have a busy week coming up in April and I’m on vacation now so I thought I’d make a double batch and freeze them raw. Can I do that? Or maybe not bc the meat was already frozen. So cool then reheat in oven I guess? I’ll make the sauce the night of.
Valorie J Hosch says
These are absolutely delicious. I think kids would love these and they’d also be a great party food!
Nadia Cleroux says
I love this recipe! after mixing the meatball ingredients, I roll them into balls and place them on a cookie sheet to go in the over for about 15 min at 350F. this is the only way I can make them without breaking….and during that time I make everything else, then pull them out and put them in the sauce! thank you!
Nadia Cleroux says
oops forgot to rate!
Robin says
I have tried this recipe twice now with less than happy results. Meat didnt hold together into meatballs either time. I saw a comment about the fat content helping hold together, but not for me as I have tried lean and 85% meat. We ate the sauce it became both times, but I won’t try the meatballs again. I loved TV dinners, especially salsbury steak, when i was a kid!
Sue says
I doubled this recipe as I have two teen bots. These tasted pretty good but a lot of my meatballs fell apart. Too much flour or too much egg? Any suggestions? I’d like to try again and see if I have better results.
Ashley says
Where is your recipe for the mashed potatoes?
Karen Mathis says
Everyone in the family loved this. Though the meatballs fell apart, so it came out the consistency of a spaghetti sauce with big chunks of ground meat.
Brenda says
Whole30 is not easy. This recipe is one of the best we found. Using the sauce for baked steak as well as the delicious meatballs. It’s a keeper!
Ellen says
These were so great! Everyone loved them, including the kids! Thanks for another great recipe
VANESSA ZAPIEN says
Just made it. Huge success! Thank you!
April says
This has become a family favorite! When I make this, I have to be sure to make a double batch or everyone gets upset that there’s no leftovers!
Jody Soldo says
While there is a long list of ingredients, these are super simple to make. I think this recipe includes all the staples that you probably have in your pantry.
I ended up using more mushrooms (we just love them) and we only had 1.25 lbs of ground meat. This still makes plenty!! Prepare for leftovers if there are only two of you.
If you’re craving comfort food– this is definitely a recipe to try.
Ricarda Bieber says
I just made this recipe and my boyfriend flipped out because he loved it so much 😍😍😍 I liked it too by the way 😍🙈 thank you for these great recipes 🌻☀️ lovely greetings from Austria 🏞️🏔️🐄
Carmen says
I Made this meatballs for dinner, they were delicious! Yummy thanks for the recipe
Carrie says
This recipe is SIMPLY AMAZING! Hard to find paleo meatballs that are tender and delicious. Comfort food at its finest. Followed the recipe but added a touch more coconut aminos to the sauce. Delicious. Will make again and again!
Brianna Norwood says
This was an absolute hit in my house!! I did have to add a little more arrowroot then called for and cooked it a little longer. But overall, was a delicious meal.
Nicole says
What is the serving size for the nutritional info?
Lauren says
So good! Perfect comfort food, served mine over cali mash with green beans. Makes a great Whole 30 meal!
Brianna Maglio says
Can’t wait to try this! I’m confused by nut flours though… are they interchangeable? I have coconut flour but not almond. Could I use coconut instead? Thanks!
Carol says
It was tasty and moist but way longer than they say it takes to make.
It states Prep time: 10 min- by the time you chop up the Onion, Garlic and mushrooms then measure it all that’s your 10 minutes. cook time could be 20 min but the whole putting this recipe together made me so tired I wasn’t hungry when it was done.
Kim S. says
I made this gravy as written, but I doubled it because I knew it was going to be good! And it was so good! Instead of making meatballs I did it with cube steaks with salt and pepper. Just cooked them in ghee after browning the mushrooms and onions. I think it added even more amazing flavor! This is a total keeper! Thank you so much!
Christina Bishop says
These meatballs came out amazing! I’m just starting Whole30 and I was excited to try out some new products! I used arrowhead mills tapioca flour (from cassava root) to bind the meatballs and thicken the sauce. So good! And I’m in love with coconut aminos. Thank you @michelerosen
Lili Hanlin says
This is the first time i made the yummiest Paleo Menu ever, all of the flavor perfectly blend. Thank you for making yummy recipe and share it to us!!!
Kristina H. says
Everything about this dish is amazing. It has easily become a family favorite.
CJ says
Just made this tonight. This is a keeper. Subbed beef broth with chicken broth, brown mustard with stone ground mustard. I upped my chicken broth and coconut aminos for more sauce. I didnt add mushrooms on the meatballs but just on the sauce since my daughter doesn’t like it on the meatballs. Thank you!
dordle says
It looks great. Delicious food, easy to make. I will add it to my list of favorite foods.
octordle says
Great recipe, thanks a lot

After trying your Greek meatballs I’m out to try them all! I have eaten you’re recipes almost every night of my whole 30! And each one has been delicious! Day 30 is tomorrow! Would I mess up the consistency of these if I completely left out the mushrooms?

Made these tonight and got rave reviews from the family. I made them as written except I used cassava flour instead of almond and they turned out wonderful! Definitely keeping this on the rotation. Thank you for sharing something so yummy plus it brought me back to my childhood.

I had to make myself stop eating it!! I omitted the mushrooms and it was still absolutely delicious!! I even used ground venison-made the meat mixture the night before and cooked it all the night we ate it. Super easy and a winner even with my picky eaters!!! Will become a family staple dish!! But I feel like a broken record with all of paleorunningmomma recipes lol!!
