Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 2 tablespoon chopped dill pickles not relish
  • 1 tablespoon dried onion
  • pinch pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon worcestershire
  • 1/2 cup low sugar ketchup I used Heinz
  • 4 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 2 tablespoon pickle juice
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, add the beef, egg, mustard, pickles, onion, pepper, and Worcestershire. Use a wooden spoon to combine the mixture. Be careful not to over mix.
  • Use a medium cookie scoop to make 24 1 ounce meatballs. Transfer the meatballs to the crock-pot.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the ketchup, mustard, pickle juice, and vegetable broth and pour over the meatballs.
  • Cook on high for 3 hours.
  • Remove the meatballs from the crock-pot and place in a bowl. Use a fine mesh sieve to strain the sauce from the crock-pot liner into a small sauce pan.
  • Bring the sauce to a low boil and add the xanthan gum. Whisk until a thick and sticky consistency is reached, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour most of the sauce over the meatballs, reserving some for dipping.

Notes

To make in the Instant Pot: follow steps 1 through 3. Close the lid and seal the vent. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Quick release the steam. Follow steps 5 through 7 to complete the sauce. You may use the sauté function on the IP in lieu of the stove.
