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.
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

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.

LINDA'S FANTABULOUS PORKY-PINE MEATBALLS
There are so many recipes for Porcupine Meatballs so I thought I would throw in my 2 cents worth in. Porcupine Meatballs got their name because of using the proper rice. If you use long grain or instant or converted you won't get the 'Porcupine' surprise. I recommend a short grain rice and specifically I use Cal Rose brand. I think an Aborio would work as well. I give the rice a rinse in a mesh colander before mixing the meatballs. This is a recipe every kid loves, including DH, the biggest kid of all. Try both variations and then try your own combination to come up with what your family likes best.

Steps:
- Pre heat oven to 350.
- Mix meat, rice, milk, parsley, onion, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Spray a 13x9 pan with cooking spray.
- Form meatballs into one ounce balls (I use a small cookie scoop). If you use the right size scoop you will fill the baking pan perfectly.
- Mix soup and water together until well blended. Pour over meatballs.
- Cover baking dish tightly with foil.
- Bake for 1 hour until hot and bubbly.
- This recipe works great for a buffet too. You can make them with barbeque sauce for a big yummy change. Have some frilled toothpicks standing by and watch them disappear!
- Hope you and your family like this variation of 'Porky-Pine' meatballs.
