Porcupine Meatballs
1 lb hamburger
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/4 cup rice, uncooked
1 egg
salt and pepper
1 can tomato soup - plus a can and a half of water
Combine hamburger, egg, rice, oatmeal, and salt and pepper (to your taste). Create meatballs by take a portion of the meat mixture and rolling in your hands.
Meanwhile, open the can of soup and empty into a medium size sauce pan. Add a can and a half of water and bring to a boil. Once soup is boiling, carefully place meatballs in soup. Simmer for 1 hour. Serve over mashed potatoes.
Here are some tips from me for this recipe.
Use your electric mixture to combine the beef and other ingredients. It is so fast and easy.
Don't worry if your meatballs aren't completely covered by the soup mixture.. Once it starts boiling and the meatballs start cooking you can stir them around a bit and they will all cook.
Here are my meatballs not fully covered by the soup.
And here they are once the soup returns to a boil and they begin cooking. No worries!
When your meatballs are finished cooking, serve them over mashed potatoes. Super yummy!
Looks good! I'm in a dinner rut and need something new to make that doesn't have "weird" ingredients that the kids won't eat. I think I'll make this tonight. The rice is uncooked, right?
ReplyDeleteYes, the rice is uncooked. I've revised the recipe above. Let me know how the kids, and you, like it.
ReplyDeleteEveryone liked the meatballs but for some reason they kind of disintegrated when I cooked them. There were still a bunch in ball form but the rest was kind of like spaghetti sauce with meat. Not sure what happened. I didn't even cook it as long as the recipe said.
ReplyDeleteI do have some break up a little bit, but not very many. I don't stir it while they are cooking. I might carefully push them around so the ones on the top trade places with some of the lower ones, but I don't stir it. Were your meatballs pretty compact to begin with?
