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.

September 18, 2013 at 1:25 pmYUMMY! 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 🙂
