Ingredient Notes:

• Ground Beef - I recommend using lean ground beef. You can also use ground turkey.
• Ground Sausage - Make sure the brand you purchase is gluten free. I used the Johnsonville Gluten Free Mild Italian Sausage brand.
• Beef Broth - Use regular or low sodium.
• Gluten Free Flour Blend or Potato Starch - You don't need a lot, and you can use any gluten free brand.
• Gluten Free Panko - You can use store-bought gluten free panko or make it from scratch. with my gluten free bread crumbs recipe. Just grind a little less, so the crumbs are more coarse, like panko.
• Herbs
• Salt and Pepper - Kosher salt or sea salt are both delicious in this recipe.
• Potatoes - You can use a box mix or boil potatoes and mash them. My Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes recipe is my favorite with these Swedish meatballs.

Tips For Success:

• Mix the sausage and ground beef together with your hands. It is messy, but you get the two types of meat blended together much better than using a spoon or fork.
• Use fresh or dried herbs. If you use dried herbs, you need to use less than if you use fresh herbs.
• Save money by making your own homemade gluten free bread crumbs. Just grind a little less, so the crumbs are more coarse, like panko.

Recipe Step-By-Step Directions:

You will want to make these in a large skillet or frying pan with sides tall enough to hold the gravy.

Step 1: Add the ground beef, ground sausage, panko, and spices to a large mixing bowl. Mix them together. I used my hands to blend them together, but you can also use a large fork or spoon. (It may not blend quite well; you will have to keep an eye to be sure.)

Step 2: Heat some oil in a pan and turn it to medium-high heat. Coat the meatballs in the gluten free flour and add them to the pan. Cook the meatballs, gently turning them until they are browned on all sides.

Step 3: Add the beef broth and seasonings. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to simmer for an additional 15 minutes. Stir the meatballs after 5-7 minutes so that both sides cook evenly.

Step 4: The meatballs should be cooked and ready to serve. My Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes recipe is my favorite with these Swedish meatballs. See below for easy gluten free side dish options to serve with these gluten free Swedish meatballs.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

For the meatballs

• ▢ 1 pound lean ground beef
• ▢ ½ pound ground sausage
• ▢ ½ cup gluten free panko

• ▢ ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ▢ ¼ cup gluten free flour blend the brand doesn't matter.

For the Pan

• ▢ 1 tablespoon light oil
• ▢ 2 ½ cups beef broth
• ▢ ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

 

• In a large skillet, add the oil and heat over medium-high heat.
• Combine the beef, sausage, panko, seasonings, and egg in a large bowl. Mix well. (If you are using sausage in a casing, cut the casing and remove the sausage meat.)

• Turn the temperature down to low and add the broth and additional seasonings.

Notes

1. Be sure the ground sausage you are using is gluten free. I used the Johnsonville brand and removed the casings.
2. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
3. Freeze in a zip-style freezer bag. It will keep fresh in the freezer for up to 4 months.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
