    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.
