    How do you keep gluten free meatballs from falling apart?

    Adding gluten free breadcrumbs and an egg help to hold the meatballs together. It's also important that you shred or very finely dice your onion. Then really make sure the ingredients are thoroughly mixed together.

    Firmly pack the meatballs into golf ball sized rounds. Then, set them in the crockpot in one rough. Don't stack them on top of each other or squish them together too much. This will ensure the meatballs hold their shape.

    Can I used something besides breadcrumbs in meatballs?

    Yes, you can use gluten free rice crumbs that you make or purchase. You can also use crushed gluten free crackers. Place the crackers in your food processor and pulse until you get a crumb consistency. You can use the same amount of rice crumbs or cracker crumbs as you would breadcrumbs in the recipe.
