    Sweet & Sour Gluten-Free Meatballs that are also Dairy-Free & Egg-Free

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on December 29, 2010 Appetizers, Dairy-Free Recipes, Entrees

    Meatballs often hide top allergens, like dairy, wheat, and eggs. But they can easily be made top allergen-free with just a few simple swaps. These sweet and sour gluten-free meatballs use crispy rice cereal and are simmered in a sweet sauce to keep them tender.
