PORCUPINE MEATBALLS
Beef, raw rice, onion and Italian seasoning come together in this simple weeknight dinner of porcupine meatballs. Where'd the name come from? While the meatballs bake, the grains of rice pop out and look incredibly similar to porcupine quills. Simmer the meatballs in a quick homemade tomato sauce for a delicious, family-friendly dish.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Use your hands to mix the ground beef, egg, onion, rice, parsley, 1/2 teaspoon of the Italian seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon of the garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a large bowl until well combined. Roll the meat mixture into 24 balls (each about 2 heaping tablespoons and 1 inch in diameter).
- Heat the olive oil in a large, high-sided oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the meatballs and cook until lightly browned on all sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium, then stir in the tomato puree, ketchup, remaining 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, remaining 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper until the sauce is combined and meatballs are well coated.
- Cover with a tight-fitting lid and transfer to the oven. Bake until the meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink, the rice is tender and poking out and the sauce has reduced slightly, about 50 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven and top with more chopped parsley.
MELINDA'S PORCUPINE MEATBALLS
This is, by far, the best recipe for porcupine meatballs I have ever had. This is a recipe that was given to my mom when she married back in 1970. The recipe also includes cooking directions for stovetop cooking or cooking in the oven. Hope you enjoy as much as our family does.

PORCUPINE MEATBALLS
These well-seasoned porcupine meatballs in a rich tomato sauce are one of my mom's best main dishes. I used to love this meal when I was growing up. I made it at home for our children, and now my daughters make it for their families. -Darlis Wilfer, West Bend, Wisconsin

PORCUPINE MEATBALLS AND RICE CASSEROLE
My mom used to make Porcupine Balls when I was a kid. I scoured the internet and only found those done in a frying pan without a rice layer. The rice was my favorite part. I have played around with it ( since my mom is now dead and never wrote it down). I think I have found the easiest way to make this. Serves up great with...

Steps:
- 1. Mix first seven ingredients and roll into 1 1/2 inch balls. should yield about 24-28 meatballs. Set aside
- 2. Mix tomato sauce, soup and water in large bowl. Add Worcestershire sauce, spices ( as desired) and brown sugar.
- 3. Spray a 9 x 13 dish with vegetable spray ad pour 2 cups minute rice in bottom. Pour half of sauce over rice. Top with meatballs and pour remaining sauce over top. Seal with foil and bake at 350 for approx 45 mins. Remove foil and allow to bake until rice is cooked and meatballs are brown. Do not worry about too much liquid! It cooks in nicely. In fact if desired you can two 14 oz cans of tomato sauce in place of the one soup and same amount of water. It is a bit more moist. Quite interchangeable. I have also used all tomato soup. My family prefers it with a combination.
