ZESTY PORCUPINE MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• In a medium sized bowl, combine rice, water, onion, salt, celery salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin and 1 tsp of the chili powder. Stir to combine.
• Add beef to bowl and use your hands to combine gently, but thoroughly.
• In a separate bowl, combine tomato sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tsp chili powder.
• Pour a layer of sauce into the bottom of an 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking dish. Form the meat mixture into balls, approximately 1.5-2 inches (about the size of a golf ball) and place into baking dish. **You should make about 15-16 meatballs.
• Pour remaining sauce over the top. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for approximately 1 hour, turning over once during cooking to ensure the rice cooks evenly.
• Meatballs are done when rice is tender and "poking" through the meat of the meatball. Allow to sit for several minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken.
