What kind of meatballs should you use?

This casserole will use prepared meatballs, these can either be fresh or frozen. Either way it will work the same way!

If you want to prepare your own meatballs try these Tangy Meatballs or Slow Cooker Meatballs.

If you are using frozen pre-cooked meatballs, these do not have to be heated or thawed, you can put them in frozen. Just be sure to let them cook all the way through during the baking time.

How do you make Gluten-Free Meatball Casserole?

There are only a few swaps needed to make this gluten-free, that is meatballs and pasta.

Use Gluten-Free Penne Pasta and Gluten-Free Meatballs, that’s it, just those swaps!

If you want to use frozen pre-cooked meatballs, I have found many gluten-free versions at Target. As always, be sure to check all ingredients to be sure what you are using is in fact gluten-free.

Tips for Making Meatball Casserole:

Be sure to use prepared and cooked meatballs to make this recipe, then the pasta will also be prepared in advance.

Once all your ingredients are prepared, then you will use an 8×8 baking dish to cook this in the oven.

It’s going to be one of the easiest recipes around and it pairs really well with Air Fryer Garlic Bread.

If you are using frozen meatballs, these do not have to be thawed but you will want to make sure that they get warm enough during the baking time before serving.

They can be checked with a meat thermometer and would need to be at 165*F internally.
