Basic Swedish Meatballs, Gluten Free
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 cup gluten free bread crumbs/torn bread chunks if you can manage
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 medium onion, diced
2 cups milk, divided
1 teaspoon (fresh) ground nutmeg
Preparation

Place ground beef in a larger bowl and make a well in the center; add 3/4 of the bread crumb mixture and combine — test consistency to see if meat makes firm (1-inch) balls, maintaining shape but wet enough to hold flour, wetter than most meatballs. Add more of the bread crumb mixture as needed – using all if possible.

When the meatballs are sufficiently browned and a nice crust has formed, add enough milk to half-submerge the meatballs, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes depending on the size of the meatballs, until the milk has thickened and the meatballs are fully cooked – test for doneness.
