SMOKY MOUNTAIN MEATBALLS



I have made this recipe so many times, and then one day discovered I get migraines from Worcestershire sauce.  No problem; enter liquid smoke!




SMOKY MOUNTAIN MEATBALLS

These are terrific meatballs. This is actually a microwave recipe - easy peasy!  I inherited this fantastic recipe from my mother-in-law.  Once you have tried these meatballs, you'll want them again and again!  I Do check below in the Helpful Hints how you can make your own low-carb chutney in a jiffy - in seconds!  It is so easy and very tasty.  You can even add hot sauce if you like it hot.  Hope you are all having a good holiday and as soon as possible we should all get back to sensible eating and quit feasting so much, hey?  It's good while it lasts, but it's sensible to quickly get back to a routine.  I will most certainly always have to watch my weight and I'm going to be honest here.  I don't care what Gary Taubes says on the subject, calories do still matter for me.  It's just easier to eat less when I'm not constantly eating foods that promote high insulin levels.  

This recipe is in Volume 3 of Low-Carbing Among Friends cookbooks.


18 oz extra lean ground beef (510 g)
1 egg
3 oz onion, finely chopped (90 g)
1 tbsp gluten-free oat flour, OR coconut flour (15 mL)
1 tbsp low-carb ketchup, OR tomato paste (15 mL)
1 tbsp liquid smoke, OR (15 mL)
  Worcestershire sauce
11/2  tsp white vinegar (7 mL)
1 clove garlic, crushed
3/4  tsp salt (3 mL)
1/4  tsp white pepper (1 mL)
Chutney Sauce:
2 tbsp low-carb, sugar-free chutney* (easy to make with sugar-free jam in seconds - see Helpful Hints below) (30 mL)
1 tbsp liquid smoke, OR Worcestershire sauce (15 mL)
1 tbsp low-carb Ketchup, OR tomato paste (15 mL)
1 tbsp olive oil (15 mL)
1 tsp curry powder (5 mL)

In large bowl, combine ground beef with egg, onion, oat flour, OR coconut flour, ketchup, OR tomato paste, liquid smoke, OR Worcestershire sauce, white vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper.  Form into 10 meatballs.  Place in 2-quart (2 L) microwaveable baking dish. Pour sauce over meatballs. Microwave uncovered on high power 10 minutes (1 minute per meatball).  Serve with extra sugar-free chutney, if desired – put a little on top of each meatball.

Chutney Sauce: In small bowl, whisk together low-carb chutney, liquid smoke, OR Worcestershire sauce, low-carb ketchup, OR tomato paste, olive oil and curry powder.

Helpful Hints:  *You may use either a commercial product or a low-carb, sugar-free apricot or peach jam, stir in a little white vinegar and Worcestershire sauce to taste, and you have yourself a lovely, quick and easy low-carb, sugar-free chutney.  It tastes really good too.  Try it and see!  If you like hot chutney, add some hot sauce to the chutney.

Double the recipe, if you like.  You’ll be glad you did!

This cookbook below is a collaborative effort between low-carbing friends and thus the name, "Low-Carbing Among Friends".  Those were giddy days as we were a big fish in a small pond and now it is just the other way around. Nowadays we are competing against thousands of low-carb cookbooks and many Kindle cookbooks are being given away for free.  However, I believe in our cookbooks and I love using them myself, and I hope others, too, will still get to enjoy them for many years to come!  This is a beautiful collection of cookbooks, but I think the Anniversary Edition is the last cookbook I will write.  All good things come to an end, as they say.  It has been a fun ride and I have loved serving the low-carb community in this way.  I will still continue with my blog and Facebook for a number of years into the future.  I hope you will join us on this continued journey.  It is my preferred way of eating, even although I can have occasional splurges in maintenance, I still return to low-carbing and usually have between 50 and 100 grams of a carbs a day.

This is a very large cookbook with 224 pages.  If you even buy 1 cookbook, I would recommend one like this because you have a huge variety to choose from and from different authors as well.  The book has been through 3 Editions (revisions).  The recipes are sorted by category with each author contributing recipes.  The recipes range from very low-carb (below 5 grams of carbs) to below 10 grams of carbs per serving. and it is safe to say most recipes are below 5 grams of carbs per serving.  The recipes are also all gluten-free.

Many glossy color pages of photos (of which the greatest number of photos are in the Anniversary Edition; volume 11) are in the center of the cookbooks to inspire you to cook or bake something delicious for your family.

This is the second cookbook in the series, Low-Carbing Among Friends' cookbooks.  It went to 3 printings and revisions.  Helpful Hints again contains a wonderful guide to how much to use of the liquid sweeteners for 2 tsp all the way up to 1 cup. I also use this chart to refer back to occasionally when I am in the kitchen, although by now I mostly do the math in my head.  There is a blurb about a number of different sweeteners and the best whey protein powder to buy.  Dr. Steve Parker wrote an article about Low-Carb Weight Management: Tips, Stalls and Long-term Success.  Dr. Parker is famous for his Low-Carb Mediterranean Diet for people wanting to do a healthy, low-carb regimen and it is also geared towards people with diabetes.  You really want to look him up on the internet and buy his wonderful books.  The Mediterranean diet has been proven to be one of the best diets on the planet and he went to the trouble of making a low-carb version.  Awesome!!

 

This is another large cookbook with 224 pages and recipes from several authors, including my own son, who is a rather reluctant cook these days as he is a famous science fiction author (he goes by a pen name, Jasper Scott) and very busy.  His cooking leans slightly more towards gourmet-style cooking.  At the time Jonathan was taking on several jobs, even modeling, just to get by ... before he became famous.  Being a part of our cookbook meant he received royalties, too, all of which helped him to live on his own in the big city.  Also, in this cookbook are featured several great recipes from our low-carb friends.
