- Yields:
-
20-24 meatballs
- Serves:
- 4
ingredients
- 1⁄3 cup milk
- 1⁄2 cup oatmeal
- 1 lb extra lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 4 (10 ounce) cans tomato sauce
- 3 garlic cloves, diced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 lb gluten-free pasta
directions
- Heat milk in a small sauce pan and add the oatmeal.
- Stir and let sit while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, onions, parsley, egg, Parmesan cheese, oil, the oatmeal/milk mixture, and salt. Mix thoroughly but gently.
- Without squeezing, shape the mixture into small round balls about one inch in diameter.
- Bake the meatballs in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes. (Don't worry if they're not done all the way - they will continue to cook in the tomato sauce).
- Meanwhile prepare the tomato sauce by combining the sauce with the garlic and dried herbs, salt and let it simmer gently while the meatballs cook.
- When the meatballs have browned, add to the tomato sauce and slowly simmer, covered, for another 45 minutes or until the meatballs are thoroughly cooked. Stir occasionally to make sure the sauce does not stick.
- Bring a pot of water to boil and add the pasta. Cook according to package directions.
- Serve meatballs and sauce over pasta.

This is a wonderful meatball recipe and gluten free which is even better. They taste so good just by themselves. Also yum as a burger patty. I accidentally thought it was one finely diced onion not one tsp...but it actually was very delicious. I added a splash of soy sauce to the meat and a bit of the garlic in the meatball as well. This is def now my go to recipe for meatballs. Thank you for posting!

Wonderful meatballs!!! I made them as written but had to sub cracker crumbs for the oatmeal, as I made oatmeal cookies earlier that day and used all the oatmeal up!! I then added the milk with the crackers and the only other thing I did different was to add some tomato paste to thicken the sauce up more to stick to the spaghetti!! Served with garlic bread and salad, yummy dinner!!! I made 3 inch meatballs so I got about 7 meatballs!! Thanks for sharing your recipe.
