European Italian Main Dishes Beef Gluten-Free Italian Meatballs 4.2 (5) 5 Reviews 3 Photos I have to cook gluten free for some family members who love Italian food, but cannot tolerate the gluten. I have revamped my recipes so they can enjoy good food with the rest of the family. Even if you are not gluten free, you will still enjoy these meatballs. They are delicious!

Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings ½ cup milk 1 egg 1 cup gluten-free Italian bread crumbs 1 ½ pounds ground beef ¼ onion, minced 1 sprig fresh parsley, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced (Optional) cooking spray 1 (28 ounce) jar tomato sauce, or as needed Directions Beat milk and egg together in a large bowl. Mix in bread crumbs until a paste forms. Add ground beef, onion, parsley, and garlic; mix with your hands until just combined. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Scoop meat mixture using an ice cream scoop; roll into balls with dampened hands. Place meatballs on the prepared baking sheet Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are no longer pink in centers and an instant-read thermometer inserted into centers reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat tomato sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. Add baked meatballs to sauce; simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Cook’s Note You can use water in place of milk, if you prefer.You can bake the meatballs, which I always do because it is easier for me, or you can fry them for a more authentic Italian meatball if you prefer.I serve them with sauce and grated cheese, sometimes with gluten-free pasta, or just gluten-free rice with tomato sauce.
