Elk & Mushroom Meatballs

Meatballs are definitely a food that my crew can get on board with. It doesn’t matter if I serve them with spaghetti, mashed potatoes, or barbecue sauce, they will always come running to the table for dinner! These Elk and Mushroom Meatballs are soon to become a comfort food favorite. They are so tender, flavorful, and easy to make. As a bonus, they are a great way to get more veggies in!

If you are wanting to make these meatballs gluten free, I would suggest using gluten free panko, but ground oats will work fine. However, the panko will result in a more tender meatballs.

Note – You can also make larger batches of these and freeze them to use later
