Porcupine Meatballs Recipe!

 

My Stepmother used to make these when I was younger.  It's always been one of my favorites.  It's great served with extra rice on the side topped with the gravy.

1 lb ground beef (you can also do 1/2 each of beef and pork)

4 slices of bread

1 egg, beaten

1 cup milk

1 onion, chopped

1/4 cup uncooked rice (my stepmother used parboiled)

2 cups tomato juice

Crumble bread and soak in the milk.  Add all other ingredients except tomato juice.  Mix well and shape into balls (about the size of a baseball).  Place them in a casserole dish, pour tomato juice over them.  Bake at 350 degrees for 1 & 1/2 hours. 

You can use store-bought breadcrumbs if that's easier for you.  

I hope you try this and love it as much as I have.

Thank you for stopping by!
