Serves: 6

Ingredients

2 lbs, ground beef
½ cup milk
½ cup Schar’s gluten free bread crumbs
2 tbsp. minced onion
1 tsp. salt
1 egg
½ cup Bob’s Red Mill GF All Purpose Baking Flour
oil
3 Herb ox beef bouillon packets
3 cups of water
1 package of Maxwells’s Kitchen Brown Beef Gravy mix

Instructions

Combine milk and breadcrumbs in a small bowl. In another large bowl, whisk the egg and add meat, onion, and salt. Add the soaked breadcrumbs to the meat mixture and gently mix with your hands until evenly combined.
Shape into small meatballs. Not too tight. You want to lightly roll them between your hands to form a ball that feels like it will hold together, but lightly so they will absorb the sauce. Then roll each meatball in GF flour.
Heat oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and gently brown on all sides, about 5 to 7 minutes. Once all of the meatballs are cooked, remove to a plate. Drain oil.
Stir gluten free gravy mix and bouillon cubes in 3 cups of cold water; then add to skillet. Continuously stir over medium-high heat to thicken gravy about 2 minutes (the bouillon will not dissolve completely until hot).
Decrease the heat to low and return the meatballs to the skillet. Simmer and serve over gluten free noodles.
