Ingredients

Meatball Ingredients

  • 1 lb 93% lean ground beef (or chicken, or turkey)
  • 1/2 cup crushed Schar Crackers
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons dried parsley
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking the meatballs evenly.
  2. Prepare baking sheet: Line a 13x9-inch baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier. Set aside.
  3. Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground meat with crushed Schar crackers, grated Parmesan, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, dried parsley, and the egg. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Shape meatballs: Form the mixture into 24 meatballs, each about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart to allow even cooking.
  5. Bake the meatballs: Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 18 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) to ensure they are fully cooked and safe to eat.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the meatballs warm. They pair well with your favorite pasta, sauce, or as a protein-packed snack.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground beef with ground chicken or turkey for a leaner option.
  • Ensure meatballs are spaced apart on the baking sheet to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
  • Using gluten-free crackers maintains this recipe’s gluten-free status.
