Porcupine Meatballs I

I usually add homemade mashed potatoes and a veggie to round out this cheap but filling meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds hamburger
  • 1 1/2 to 2 cups uncooked minute rice
  • 1 can of tomato juice

Directions

Mix 2 pounds of hamburger and 1 1/2 -2 cups uncooked minute rice. Then form into meatballs. Add 1 can tomato juice and cook in a pan on the stove over a medium heat until meatballs appear brown. I usually put a lid on my pan as the tomato juice tends to splatter while cooking

In version Porcupine Meatballs II, try mushroom soup for an elegant version - good enough to serve company, with a sprinkling of parsley!

I have made the tomato soup versions for years, often in large batches to freeze leftovers. They make excellent Meatball sandwiches with some spaghetti sauce, or fillings for tacos and burritos.

My mother made porcupine meatballs in the pressure cooker, when I was little. I want to try ground turkey. Would it taste the same?

Can you use regular rice?

Do I cook these on top of the stove or in the oven? If it's in the oven, at what temperature, and for how long?
