Chef's tip
Ground chicken is often leaner than ground pork and can dry out more quickly. When browning it, add a little oil if needed and keep the pan juices unless the recipe says to drain them. Cook just until it reaches 165°F (74°C).
½ lb ground beef (80/20)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, ground beef, gluten free breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined — do not overwork. Roll into 1-inch balls (you should get about 36) and arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
