gluten and dairy free meatballs



when i make meatballs i like to make at least 50-70 at a time. we usually eat them for a couple days or freeze them, but they always go quickly & are a fam fave!!


i tend to use bison meat for everything because it is a very lean meat & tends to be better for you. i also prefer the taste to regular beef. 


-2.5-3 lbs of ground bison meat
-2 tablespoons of fresh minced garlic
-1 hefty teaspoon of oregano (dried)
-1 teaspoon of basil (dried)
-1 teaspoon of onion powder 
-1 teaspoon of parsley (dried)
-a nice dusting of garlic powder
-1 cup of GF/DF breadcrumbs ( i use glutino prepackaged & sometimes i make my own by grinding up glutino crackers ) 
-1 whole egg


mix together with your hands really well.


roll into balls, i usually make 1" meatballs spread out on a pan lightly sprayed with a spray oil.
cook for about 20minutes on 375 degrees one side and then flip to the other side to continue cooking for another 15-20 minutes.


i always then start a large pot filled with a tomato sauce of your choice and 1 can of tomato paste and then put the already cooked meatballs in to simmer for 30+minutes for a very delicious sauce. 


in the fall we always eat the meatballs over roasted spaghetti squash and we also put it over brown rice or GF pasta. its up to you how you choose to use them!!


enjoy!!
