Grandma’s Gluten-Free Meatballs

By Amanda Buse

This fall I’m remembering my grandma who passed away a year ago by sharing my versions of some of her delicious recipes. This recipe always makes me think of her because of its unique ingredient – caraway seeds, which gives the meatballs a delicious nutty flavor. And yes, her original recipe from “way back when” was also gluten-free!

Grandma’s Gluten-Free Meatballs

Ingredients:

1 lb. organic, pastured ground beef
1 organic, pastured egg
1/2 cup whole organic oats (gluten-free)
2 tbsp. caraway seeds
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 raw onion, finely chopped
1 tsp. dried oregano or 1 tbsp. fresh oregano

Directions:

  1. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and roll into one and a half inch balls.
  2. Place in a single layer in a baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. (Note: Flip half way through baking)
  3. Enjoy plain or top with your favorite sauce!
