easy gluten free meatballs

These super quick gluten free meatballs are so good! Pair with homemade pasta sauce, or just open a store bought jar to make a meal. The meatballs can be made ahead and frozen, ready for a weeknight meal or to pop a couple in the microwave for an easy snack. This recipe is gluten free, paleo, and keto.

If you can, try to source your meat from a local farm that uses environmentally sound practices and treats animals well. Typically, this means looking for organic, grass fed beef and organic pastured pork. In Wisconsin, I love Mastadon Valley Farm

Once you have the gluten free meatballs cooked, you can use them right away, or freeze in a zip topped bag for later. If you are freezing, I recommend placing in a single layer on a cookie sheet lined with a silicone mat. Make sure no meatballs are touching each other. Then when they are frozen, move to a bag for storage. 

I love these silicone bags from Stasher, which keep food fresher for longer and can be reused over and over. Dishwasher safe too!
