Equipment
- Baking Tray
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs use gluten free if needed
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F
- In a mixing bowl, combine lean ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, chopped fresh basil, dried parsley and 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar
- Once combined, roll into 1" meatballs (should make about 12 large meatballs) and add to a lined baking tray
- Bake the basil balsamic meatballs at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through
- While the meatballs are cooking, place the last 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan on low heat, slowly simmering for 15 minutes to make a quick balsamic glaze
- Once the meatballs are done cooking, add the balsamic glaze on top and serve as an appetizer or part of a main dish!
Notes
- Regular or gluten free breadcrumbs can be used. Rice crumbs will also work
- Feel free to add fresh grated parmesan
- You can replace the homemade glaze with a premade balsamic glaze
- If you want to make mini meatballs, cook for only 16-20 minutes
