Gluten & Dairy Free Italian Meatballs


Italian food is one of my absolute favorites, so finding out I was allergic to two of the main ingredients in majority of Italian dishes absolutely crushed me.

This recipe is incredibly special to me, because it comes from my amazing dad who mastered the classic meatball without any ingredients I’m allergic to. It truly is one of the best tasting meatballs, and I guarantee it will become your family favorite!


Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef (90/10)

1 lb Italian sausage

2 eggs

1/2 cup almond flour

1/2 cup dairy free mozzarella or parmesan, shredded

2 tablespoons water

4 garlic cloves, chopped

1 tablespoon minced onion

1 teaspoon garlic salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

Olive Oil (to coat pan)


Step 1

Combine all ingredients in a bowl using your hands. Once the mixture comes together, shape into 10-12 balls.

Step 2

Heat oil in nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs, spacing evenly apart and cook until browned on all sides, turning them occasionally until they are almost cooked through.

Step 3

Reduce the heat and cover for roughly 6-8 minutes, until the meatballs are no longer pink. Top with your favorite sauce, or just enjoy as is!
