Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, gluten-free breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper using a fork or your hands until just mixed. Allow the mixture to rest for about 10 minutes.
  2. With your hands, gently roll the beef mixture into meatballs, aiming for sizes around 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.
  3. Once all the meatballs are formed, carefully place them in the bottom of your slow cooker in a single layer.
  4. Pour the beef broth slowly over the arranged meatballs, ensuring they are mostly submerged.
  5. Cover the crockpot and set it to low heat for 6 hours. Ensure meatballs reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
  6. Once cooked, remove the lid and serve the meatballs warm with some broth over the top.
