The Best Gluten Free Meatballs

Meatballs with gravy is such a classic comfort food and one of the most nostalgic childhood dishes you can have. Atleast they are for me.

So that's where this gluten free meatballs recipe comes in!

How to Make Gluten-Free Meatballs

Like I mentioned before, this gluten free meatballs with gravy recipe is insanely easy.

The meatballs are just a simple mix-shape-and-fry situation, while all you have to do for the gravy is combine and melt everything together.

Plus, everything is done in one skillet, so you won't have to do much cleaning up.

This is truly the perfect midweek meal for any busy parent and anyone on the go.

So, grab your ingredients, and let's make some gluten free meatballs!

Step 1: Shape and Cook the Meatballs

First, combine all the meatball ingredients in one big bowl and mix until everything is evenly incorporated.

Then, divide the meatball mixture up by eye to make approximately 14 meatballs.

Next, bring out a large non-stick skillet and heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high. When the oil is hot, place your meatballs into the pan and cook, turning them as needed - until they're golden brown on all sides.

If your pan is on the smaller side, I recommend doing this in batches so you don't overcrowd the pan. Doing that will help you create a nice caramelized exterior and an even-cook to the meatballs on the interior.

Anyway, once they're cooked transfer the meatballs to a plate, and cover to keep them warm.

Step 2: Make the Gravy

It's gravy time!

So, using the same skillet you used for the meatballs, melt the butter and quickly whisk in the cornstarch. Cook this for 30 seconds to get rid of the floury taste, whisking the whole time to prevent any lumps from forming.

Next, stir in the broth, cream cheese, dijon mustard, worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. And be sure to whisk the ingredients constantly.

Allow the sauce to come to a simmer, then cook until it thickens. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Combine and Serve

Lastly, add the meatballs into the sauce and toss them to coat with the gravy.

Continue cooking the gravy and meatballs together until the meatballs are fully cooked and warmed through.

Serve and enjoy!

Storing and Reheating Meatballs

Ok, so if you happen to have any leftovers of these meatballs, store them in a container in the fridge along with the gravy. They'll stay good for about 3-4 days stored like this.

Then, to reheat them, I recommend warming the meatballs and gravy together in a frying pan pot over low heat until warm throughout.

By the way, a great way to use up your leftover meatballs is to make meatball subs. They're a super quick and easy dinner or work lunch. Just pop a few meatballs onto a halved gluten-free baguette and top with extra gravy and cheese. Enjoy!

These gravy meatballs are a match made in heaven and work fantastically on their own.
