Porcupines ~ My mom made these. Did yours? Porcupines are meatballs with rice baked in a tomato sauce. - 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup uncooked long-grain rice
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1 large can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup water
Mix the ground beef, rice, 1/2 cup of water, the chopped onion, salt, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and pepper. Shape the mixture by tablespoons into 1-1/2 inch meatballs. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet and cook the meatballs over medium heat until brown; drain off excess fat. Add tomato sauce, remaining 1/2 cup water, and Worcestershire sauce; heat to boiling. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 35 to 45 minutes.

yummy
Thanks for commenting!
Isn't it cool the way reading a recipe can take you back! I can still see the porcupine meatballs in a frying pan on the stove while Mom was browning them.
Your comment about the Cowboy Stew prompted me to find this old recipe. Thanks!
Hope you like them!
Good luck if you try them:0).
Glad to hear the recipe brought back some (good) memories!
I said this before but it's kind of nice the way a recipe takes you back. I can still see my mom standing at the stove in this crazy red and turquoise (!!!) kitchen we had back in the late 50's, browning these meatballs.
