Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until well combined. Add the gluten-free Italian bread crumbs and mix until a paste-like consistency is achieved. (5 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
Gently incorporate the ground beef, minced onion, chopped fresh parsley, and minced garlic into the bread crumb mixture. Use your hands to combine the ingredients until just mixed; be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)
03
Step
2 mins
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent sticking. (2 minutes)
04
Step
10 mins
Using an ice cream scoop or spoon, form the meat mixture into evenly sized balls. Gently roll each meatball between dampened hands to smooth the surface. Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet. (10 minutes)
05
Step
30 mins
Bake in the preheated oven until the meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink in the center. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). (30 minutes)
06
Step
15 mins
While the meatballs are baking, heat the tomato sauce in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. (15 minutes)
07
Step
30 mins
Once the meatballs are baked, carefully add them to the saucepan with the heated tomato sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, allowing the meatballs to absorb the flavors of the sauce.
