Indeed, my family loves meatballs. Normally, I use an extra pound of meat. They go fast.
These scrumptious meatballs made with ground lamb are a special treat. Serve them with my gluten free mushroom gravy and a touch of cinnamon.

YUMMY! I have never tried lamb balls. I’ve eaten lamb chops many times and they are sooo good. That’s about it though, for my lamb experience, so I will definitely give this a try! Thanks for sharing 🙂

I am funny about lamb–I only enjoy the very first bite (rather it is chops or roast).

Hmm… the cinnamon in the gravy adds a wonderfully unique flavor, but if you don’t care for lamb I hope you will try some of my other recipes listed in my recipe index 🙂 https://www.glutenfreehomestead.com/dinner-recipe-browser/
