Ingredients:
Before we jump into the cooking, let’s make sure we have everything we need. Here’s the rundown on the ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup water
Instructions:
Now that we’re all geared up with our ingredients, let’s get down to the good part – making these meatballs!
- First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will have it nice and warm by the time we’re ready to pop those meatballs in.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, cooked rice, chopped onion, milk, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix all that goodness together until everything is well incorporated.
- Once mixed, shape the mixture into meatballs. You can make them whatever size you like, but keep in mind that bite-sized is always a hit.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and water. This is going to be your luscious sauce that coats the meatballs.
- Now, place the meatballs in a baking dish and pour the sauce over the top. Make sure they are all nice and covered in that flavor-packed goodness.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes. After that, remove the foil and let them bake for an additional 15 minutes to get them a little caramelized on top.
- Once done, let them rest for a minute before serving up those beautiful porcupine meatballs. Pair them with some warm bread or over a bed of rice!
And there you have it! A plate full of Melinda’s Porcupine Meatballs, ready to be devoured. Trust me, once you dig in, you’ll be coming back for seconds, no doubt about it!
