Porcupine Meatballs
A delicious meatball flavored with tomato soup and delicious seasonings, cooked with rice in it.
Equipment
- large mixing bowl
- large deep skillet
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup uncooked white long grain rice (I like basmati)
- 1 TBS dried parsley
- 1/2 tsp salt (DIVIDED)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper (DIVIDED)
- 1 TBS minced onion dried or 1/4 cup diced onion
- 3 tsp Worcestershire sauce (DIVIDED)
- 1 tsp garlic powder (DIVIDED)
- 2 (10oz) cans tomato soup
- 1 (14oz) can beef broth
Instructions
- In a large bowl mix together ground beef, eggs, rice, parsley, minced onion, 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper,1/2 tsp garlic powder. Form into 1 – 1 1/2 inch meatball shapes.
- In a large skillet heat 2 TBS butter to a sizzle. Place one layer of formed meatballs into hot butter and allow to brown on one side.(If you have more meatballs then will fit in skillet, you can do this step in 2 batches by browning up one batch, removing from pan and browning up the remaining meatballs then placing the first browned batch of meatballs into skillet with 2nd batch of browned meatballs.)
- Once meatballs are browned on one side rotate them around until browned on all sides. DRAIN any excess grease from pan.
- In same bowl that the meatball mixture was in, place 2 cans of tomato soup, beef broth, remaining salt, pepper, garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well.
- Pour tomato soup mixture over the meatballs, raise heat to HIGH, bring sauce to a boil. Lower heat to a LOW, place lid on meatballs and allow to simmer for 35-40 minutes until meatballs are cooked through and tender and rice is cooked in the meatball.
Love your recipes. I’ve tried
Chicken tamales casserole so far
Delicious. looking forward to seeing more.
Enjoy your website and cooking videos. For porcupine meatballs I’m going to half the recipe. Do I still simmer it covered for. 35 to 40 minutes? Thanks
Yes, timing stays the same.
Can I precook my rice before putting in my meatballs?
Yes you can.
I made this last night for dinner and it was AMAZING!
That’s wonderful! I’m so happy you enjoyed this meal.
