Porcupine meatballs

[Camper6]

These are a change from the regular meatballs and make a good dish all by themselves served on rice .

They have long rice in the meatballs. I scaled the recipe down to 2 servings for myself. It worked out to about 8 meatballs depending on the size.

I used cooked rice. I find it softer. I wasn't too fussy on the sauce presented or to bake the meatballs with the sauce.
I just used sauce I had on hand. I used a bottled barbecue sauce. I pour it on just before serving and warm them up.

If you want to scale the recipe up, just follow the URL at the top of the recipe page.

Looking good, Camper!

When I make meatballs I sauté them until light brown - 10-12 mins in a pot or skillet with a little olive oil, then into the oven they go in a covered pan for 50-60 mins at 350°.

I find baking them in a covered pan (after sautéing) retains the moistness of the meatballs, while avoiding scalding the outsides too much.

Thanks. They really are a sort of comfort food. Sometimes I just warm one up and have it with a dinner roll.

You should boil them first.
