Pam...porcupine meat balls.....ground beef, cooked rice, celery salt, minced onion, pepper formed into small balls and served in a tomato sauce. Haven't had them for years. Enjoy...Diane

That might have been me....I just add rice (but I use uncooked) to my meat ball recipe, (if I had a recipe I would share it, I just kind of wing it) I just do ground chuck, an egg, rice, salt, pepper, and garlic. Mix it up, and cook them in spaghetti sauce. They will “expand” some when the rice cooks. Now I want meat balls...

Thank you both. I think that my family will totally enjoy them. Pam I just wrote both recipes down. Printer needs ink :)

I've made this recipe many times over the years. It's from the Sunbeam Portable Electric Cookery, copyright 1970 by Sunbeam Corp., Chicago, IL. It's on pay 41.

1 1/2 lbs. ground beef, 1/2 cup uncooked rice, 1 Tbsp. minced onion, 1/2 tsp. Allspice, 1 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper, 1 can (10 1/2 oz.) condensed tomato soup, 1/2 cup water.

Combine ground beef, rice, onion, Allspice, salt and pepper. Blend lightly, but thoroughly. Shape into small balls, about 1 1/2 " in diameter. Combine tomato soup and 1/2 cup water in fry pan. Bring to a boil. Drop meatballs into liquid. Lower heat to simmer and cover. Cook gently about 2 hours. During cooking time, stir occasionally and add more water if needed.

6 servings.

I've also made this in a frying pan on the stove when I don't want to wait two hours for it to cook. I hope this is what you are looking for. Diana
