How To Make Keto Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Meatballs
To make these Keto Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Meatballs, you start by preheating your oven to 400 F. Then in a large bowl, mix the ground beef/pork, the egg, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Line a rimmed baking pan or cookie sheet with tin foil. Then roll out, small one inch meatballs. Place the meatballs in the pan, then bake for 12-13 minutes. Pour off any grease, then turn your oven to broil. Bake for another 10 – 12 minutes, turning the meatballs a few times if needed. Transfer the cooked meatballs to a slow cooker/ crockpot.
How To Make The Keto Sweet and Sour Sauce:
To make the Keto Sweet and Sour Sauce, you add the sugar free ketchup, gluten free soya sauce, vinegar, lemon juice and swerve brown sugar to a medium sized sauce pan. Brin to a boil, stirring throughout. Pour the sweet and sour sauce over the meatballs. Cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2 hours.
WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?
The ketogenic diet (often called keto) is a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When in ketosis, your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source.
On Keto, you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from Fat, 15 to 25 percent from Protein, and 10 percent from Carbohydrates. You should avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

Recipe Notes:
- If cooking the meatballs in the slow cooker for more than 4 hours, you’ll need to add a bit of water.
- The sweet and sour meatballs can be served without cooking them in a slow cooker or crock pot. Just pour the prepared sauce over the cooked meatballs, if preferred.
- If you like breadcrumbs in your meatballs, try using crushed up pork rinds instead. You won’t need to add as much salt though because they’re usually salted.
- If you don’t have tin foil, just use an unlined baking pan.
- The keto meatballs can ba made with just ground beef or pork. They will work fine without mixing but I find the texture and taste to be better if you mix them.
- The recipe makes 9 servings of 6 meatballs each. If feeding a larger crowd you’ll need to double or triple the recipe.
- This recipe makes 54 Keto Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Meatballs.
