Porcupine Meatballs

In the interest of fun things to do with rice . . . I give you the kid friendly, Porcupine Meatballs!

1 pound ground meat

¼ cup uncooked rice (regular, not minute)

1 slightly beaten egg

2 T finely chopped onion (optional)

½ tsp salt

Dash of pepper

¼ cup tomato soup

Mix and shape into about 20 small balls. Put balls in skillet.

Below is one idea for a sauce, but you can use pretty much any sauce. We've done BBQ sauce and sweet and sour sauce . . . use whatever you have or whatever you are in the mood for.

Mix:

1 cup tomato soup

½ cup water

1 tsp soy sauce

Pour over meatballs. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 40 minutes. Stir often. Makes 4-5 servings.
