Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Ground Beef
  • 1/2 lb Ground Pork
  • 3/4 cup Gluten Free Breadcrumbs (use these for best results - amazon)
  • 1/3 cup Milk
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese (I highly recommend using this one - amazon)
  • 3 cloves Minced Garlic
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Chopped Parsley
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix the gluten free breadcrumbs and milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes to soften the crumbs.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, the soaked breadcrumb mixture, egg, grated parmesan cheese, minced garlic, fresh chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.
  • Gently mix everything together using your hands just until combined. Do not overmix to keep the meatballs tender.
  • Roll the mixture into 1.5-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees fahrenheit for 20 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
  • Serve as an appetizer or drop them into your favorite simmering marinara sauce.
