    I would love to try the meatball recipe but as I have celiac disease I cant use bread. Could you let me know the amount of gluten free breadcrumbs that I could use instead? Thank you for your time.

    Mama Iuliucci’s Famous Meat-A-Balls (Italian Meatballs),Here it is, my mom’s FAMOUS Meatball recipe! This is THEE most requested of her for anything, anywhere! Whenever there is a shower, birthday, christening, etc., someone is asking for 150 to 200 of her famous meatballs. 🙂 Of course, she always says yes! She is not one for “exact” measurements (a little of this, a dash of that), so I tried the best I could to adapt her recipe. Of course, these are best served with My Mama Iuliucci’s “Don’t Skip a Step” Spaghetti Sauce recipe #26947, but I have used jazzed-up jarred sauce and they are still great. However, meat-a-balls like these deserve a homemade sauce, in my humble opinion!,I would love to try the meatball recipe but as I have celiac disease I cant use bread. Could you let me know the amount of gluten free breadcrumbs that I could use instead? Thank you for your time.,This is as close as I have seen to my family recipe passed on from Italian (southern)Grandmother to mother to me . I frequently use a bit more egg in my recipe. For two pounds of beef with 8 slices of bread I would at least use 4 eggs but it is a matter of taste and texture. I also find minced fresh basil and minced fresh garlic when available is great.

    Tip: You Can Also Bake or Broil These If the Frying Part Is Too Much of a Hassle-- use My Broiler Pan If I Bake Them, So the Fat Drips Down and Away from the Meatballs.
