Keto Bacon Wrapped Meatballs With Mushroom Sauce
It’s packed with protein and is made in a Crock Pot – bacon wrapped meatballs are the solution to your late night dinners. Plus, there’s a peppery, red mushroom sauce included in this recipe that pairs perfectly with the meal. Instead of using ground beef, you’ll be using ground sirloin for the meatballs. You’ll get a juicier bite every time with the addition of smoky bacon.
How to Make It
Step 1
In a bowl, combine the ground sirloin, egg, salt, pepper, italian seasoning, caraway, and onion powder. You can do this with your hands or a spoon.
Step 2
On a clean surface, form your meatballs. You should be able to get about 13 meatballs at 1 ½ ounces each.
Step 3
Wrap each meatball with a single piece of bacon and secure them with a toothpick. Then, place them in a crock pot. It’s okay if one or two rest on top. Cook the meatballs on high for 4 hours.
Step 4
To make the sauce, melt the butter in a large skillet on low heat. Then, mince and stir in the garlic, allowing it to heat up for about 30 seconds.
Step 5
Slice the mushrooms into thin slices. Cook them in the butter, with the lid on, on medium-low heat for about 5 minutes or until the mushrooms are soft.
Step 6
Sprinkle the paprika over the mushrooms and stir the ingredients until the mushrooms are completely coated in the paprika. Then, stir in the heavy cream.
Step 7
Cover the skillet and heat the cream until it comes to a simmer. Then, pour in the beef broth and the remaining spices.
Step 8
Bring the sauce to a boil. Then, reduce it to a simmer and allow it to cook, uncovered, for about 5 minutes or until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Step 9
Finally, turn off the stove heat and stir in the sour cream to bring the sauce fully together. To serve, use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon wrapped meatballs from the crock pot and remove the toothpicks. Serve the mushroom sauce hot over the meatballs and enjoy!
