Instructions
- Combine the meatball ingredients except frying oil in alarge bowl. Mix thoroughly with your hands and form into 1-inch meatballs.
- Heat oil in your skillet over medium heat and cook themeatballs, turning to brown on all sides. When cooked through, transfer to aplate and keep warm.
- Melt the cream cheese and mustard in the pan, then add in 1cup of broth slowly, deglazing the pan as needed. Make a thickener slurry bymixing the xanthan gum (or flour) with the remaining ¼ cup broth. Gradually add this to the sauce whisking and simmering, until it reaches the desired thickness. A flour mixture will need to simmer to thicken, but xanthan gum will thicken just by mixing in.
- Add the meatballs back into the skillet, simmer for a couple more minutes. Serve over noodles (or roasted cauliflower for keto)
