Bison Meatballs

These are a family favourite! You can use any ground meat of your choice - I love Bison as it’s a leaner choice of red meat and it’s super delish! I pair with a gluten free, high protein pasta and veggies.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 lb ground bison 

• 1/4 cup gluten free breadcrumbs 

• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 

• 1 egg

• Avocado oil for frying 

• Pasta Sauce - I use Victoria or Rao’s from costco

• Pasta - I use Kaizen brand gluten free, high protein + high fibre for myself and an organic spaghetti for the kids

DIRECTIONS:

1. Add all of the ingredients to a large bowl (apart from the oil).

2. Mix the ingredients together using your hands so that everything is well incorporated.

3. Take portions of the mixture and roll into balls.
   

To pan fry

1. Add a tablespoon of oil to a large skillet and heat on a medium high heat.

2. Once hot, add the meatballs, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Cook on all sides until browned and cooked through - about 10-15 minutes.

3. Then simmer in the pasta sauce on low until everything is done.

To oven bake

1. Pre heat the oven to 400F / 200c.

2. Place the meatballs into the oven on a baking sheet lined with parchment and cook for 20-25 minutes until browned and cooked through then toss in the sauce.
