Recipe: Porcupine Meatballs
Archived on 09/21/2009
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

Can you use regular rice? (01/30/2005)

My mother made porcupine meatballs in the pressure cooker, when I was little. I want to try ground turkey. Would it taste the same? (02/15/2008)

I use the tomato juice recipe, add a little salt, pepper, garlic powder and Italian seasoning. I make them into fist size meatballs and pressure cook them for 10 minutes. When I lift the lid, I drape a piece of provolone cheese over each one. It will immediately melt and is very tasty. Usually serve with mashed potatoes and steamed cabbage. It's one of my family's favorite meals. (02/11/2009)

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. (08/13/2008)
Combine meat, rice, egg, onion, salt, pepper and 1/4 of the soup. Mix completely and roll into balls. Place in pan. Mix soup, water and Worcestershire sauce; pour over meatballs. Bring to a boil. Simmer 40 minutes; stir often. Serve with cooked noodles.
