These warm, keto savory smothered meatballs are so comforting and delicious in a rich and creamy gravy with chopped mushrooms. Super low in carbs, is fantastic served over cauliflower mash. 

Make your cauliflower mash or use a quick to heat and serve, prepared cauliflower mash from the grocery store in the frozen food section. This dish can also be made without the mushrooms if you don't enjoy mushrooms.

I used  This cauliflower mash that I found in the frozen food section, and it was very easy to heat up and tasted very yummy!

If you don't like mushrooms (I know you're out there), feel free to omit the mushrooms and have only the meatballs in a cream sauce which was also very tasty!
