Porcupine Meatball recipe ...

PORCUPINE MEATBALLS * 1 pound ground beef * 1/4 tsp salt * 1/8 tsp pepper * 1 egg, slightly beaten * 1/2 cup rice, uncooked * 1 T. onion, finely chopped * 3 T. oil * 14.5 oz. can beef gravy (the recipe calls for one can but I use two just to have some extra gravy!) Mix the first 6 ingredients together and shape into golf-ball size balls. Brown meatballs in oil, then place in a casserole dish; pour gravy over meatballs. Bake, covered, in a 350 degree oven for 45 to 60 minutes or until rice is tender.

This sounds good! Can't wait to try it.

that sounds so good!

Deanna, Let me ask you, do you ever worry about carbs? I was wondering since your recipie calls for rice the meat balls. KAthryn

Hi Kathryn! Yes, I worry about carbs. But I have issues with having really low blood sugars since I'm on a high protein diet. So I have to have "some" carbs with my proteins or I bottom out really bad. And, there isn't all that much rice that shows up in a meatball so I don't worry about it. But I wouldn't have a side of rice with a meal! Deanna
