These porcupine meatballs are by far the best I have ever had! This recipe was given to my mom when she married back in 1970 — it includes directions for stovetop cooking and baking in the oven. I hope you enjoy it as much as our family does.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 0.5 cups uncooked long grain white rice
  • 0.5 cups water
  • 0.33 cups chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.5 teaspoons celery salt
  • 0.13 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 0.13 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 can tomato sauce , 15 ounce
  • 1 cup low sodium chicken stock , or more as needed
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather all ingredients.

  2. 2

    Mix ground beef, rice, water, onion, salt, celery salt, garlic powder, and black pepper thoroughly in a bowl until well combined. Roll mixture into 12 meatballs.

  3. 3

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place meatballs into the hot skillet; cook, turning once halfway through cooking, until well browned, about 8 minutes. Drain and discard excess grease.

  4. 4

    Pour tomato sauce, chicken stock, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar into the skillet; reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until meatballs are no longer pink in the center and rice is tender, about 45 minutes. Stir in more stock if sauce becomes too dry.

  5. 5

    Enjoy!
