Porcupine Meatballs
This is a recipe that my mom made when I was small. Fussy kids usually are willing to eat them.
Ingredients:
1 cup instant rice
1-1/2 lb. ground beef
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup chopped celery (optional)
2 Tablespoons chopped green pepper (optional)
2 Tablespoons chopped onion
2 cups tomato puree
Directions:
Add rice, salt, pepper and onion to meat. Mix well. Shape into balls, pressing them firmly into place. Place in baking dish. In frying pan, saute celery and green pepper if using. Add tomato puree. Pour over meatballs. Cover with tin foil and bake at 350 degrees. Remove cover last half hour of baking to brown the meat and cook down the sauce.
