Learn how to make delicious ground beef gluten free recipes. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 pound ground beef (preferably grass-fed for richer flavor)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs (you can substitute crushed gluten-free crackers or oats)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, omit for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil for cooking
  • 1 cup gluten-free tomato sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 375°F. This temperature allows the meatballs (or patties) to cook through evenly while developing a nice crust.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, gluten-free breadcrumbs, egg, fresh parsley, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese if using. Use your hands to gently mix everything together—just enough to combine. Overmixing can make the meat dense, and that’s not how Mama Lu would want it.
  3. Shape the mixture into evenly sized meatballs, about the size of a golf ball. If you’re making patties, flatten them slightly to about 1/2 inch thickness. This part always reminds me of sitting on Mama Lu’s porch swing, shaping biscuits with flour-dusted hands—there’s something soothing about it.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the meatballs or patties. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned but not fully cooked through. This step locks in flavor and gives them that golden crust.
  5. Transfer the browned meatballs or patties to a baking dish. Pour the gluten-free tomato sauce over them, making sure they’re well coated. This is where the magic of slow cooking unfolds, much like Mama Lu’s Sunday pot roast simmering in her cast iron pot.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F and the sauce is bubbling gently.
  7. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. This pause lets flavors settle and juices redistribute, just like waiting for biscuits to cool ever so slightly before tearing into them.
