Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef

- 1 and 1/2 teaspoon Vital Proteins Gelatin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

- Let gelatin bloom (leave it alone) for 3-5 minutes
- Line a large baking sheet with tin foil and set aside
- Add in all of the remaining ingredients and spices to the bowl
- Stir gently with your hands just until the mixture is combined, ensuring not to over-mix
- Roll into 1 and 1/2 inch meatballs (about two finger’s width)
- Line them on the baking sheet with a bit of room between them
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until meat is thoroughly cooked (time can slightly vary from oven to oven)
- Remove from oven, and enjoy!
- Optional: place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to get a crispier outer layer!
