Gluten Free Meatballs

These are easy to make and really yummy.  You can substitute beef for ground turkey, or ground chicken, or a combination of your favorite meats.

Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
2 eggs
1 cup gluten free breadcrumbs (I use Schar)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp chopped garlic
1 tsp dried parsley
1.5 Tbsp dried minced onion
salt & pepper to taste

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350.  Mix eggs, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, parsley and onion.  Add a little salt and pepper.  Add beef and mix until combined.  Form 2 inch meatballs, gently- you do not want to press hard, you want them to be light and airy, rather than perfectly formed balls.  Bake on a tin foil lined cookie sheet for 23 minutes (or until you see the edges begin to crisp and brown).

*If you have a stand mixer, you can use the paddle attachment to mix the ingredients.  I have one, but am too lazy to take it out, so I do this all by hand and I actually stick my hands into the meat to mix everything evenly.  It really doesn't take very long, either way.

These are a favorite in my house.  Serve with your favorite sauce, over pasta, and enjoy.
