Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dairy free breadcrumbs and dairy free milk and let stand for 2 minutes until the breadcrumbs absorb the milk. Add the ground beef, ground pork, egg, minced garlic (for the meatballs), parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined — stop as soon as no streaks of breadcrumb remain.
