Porcupine Meatballs
Circle B Kitchen
32 oz box of Pacific organic Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato soup
1 lb ground meat (I use turkey)
1/2 cup Uncle Ben's converted rice (or 1 1/2 cups leftover cooked rice or partially cooked rice works great)
1/3 cup finely chopped onion (optional)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground pepper
Pour the soup in a large skillet or saucepan, and while that's heating, mix the ground meat with 1/2 cup of raw rice (or 1 1/2 cups cooked) and a little salt and pepper. Sometimes I add some chopped onion cuz I like to. Form your meatballs and drop them in the soup.
Simmer, partially covered for about 20-25 minutes. If using raw rice, continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover the pan and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving to allow the rice to plump up.
To serve, just spoon some sauce into a shallow bowl or plate, top with meatballs and then more sauce.
To serve, spoon the sauce over the meatballs.
