- 1 tsp onion powder

For the Sauce:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup beef broth

Directions
Step 1: Make the Meatballs
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup sour cream, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined. Shape the mixture into meatballs, ensuring they are about 1-2 inches in size.
Step 2: Brown the Meatballs
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs to the skillet. Cook them for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set them aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Sauce
In the same skillet, add the beef broth, 1/2 cup sour cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well until the sauce is smooth and combined. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Step 4: Simmer the Meatballs
Return the meatballs to the skillet, making sure they are coated with the sauce. Cover and let the meatballs simmer in the sauce for 10-15 minutes, or until they are fully cooked through and tender.
Step 5: Serve
Once the meatballs are cooked, serve them with the creamy sauce on top. Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh, vibrant touch.
