Porcupine Meatballs image

Although my mother usually made our Porcupines with a cream sauce, I know that a lot of folks grew up with the tomato-ey kind. Here's another version of the old tried and true favorite for you! An adopted recipe.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup uncooked white rice
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup chopped onion (1 small onion)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (or 1 large clove garlic, minced)
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup water
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Mix the meat, rice, 1/2 cup of water, onion, salt, celery salt (which I don't usually use, but this recipe came this way), garlic powder or minced garlic, and pepper.
  • Shape the mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls.
  • Stovetop cooking method: Heat 1 TBLS of salad oil in a large skillet and cook the meatballs over medium heat until brown. Add remaining ingredients and heat to boiling. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for about 45 minutes.
  • Oven cooking method: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place the meatballs in an ungreased baking dish, 8 X 8 X 2-inches. Mix the remaining ingredients and pour over the meatballs. Cover and bake in a 350 degree F. oven for about 45 minutes. Uncover and bake 15 minutes longer.
  • Serve with veggies, salad, and good crusty bread!
  • Note: using brown rice is not recommended.
