Porcupine Meatballs

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, place 1 pound of ground beef. Pour in 1 box of Beef Rice A Roni (only the rice and pasta). Set the seasoning packet aside for later.

To the bowl, add the egg. Using your hands, mix everything well until combined. Then, form the mixture into 25 golf ball-sized meatballs.

Carefully place the meatballs in a hot large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until the top and bottom is browned.

In a large measuring cup, pour 2 1/4 cups of water. Then, add the packet of seasoning from the Rice A Roni box. Stir well. Pour this over the meatballs. Adjust the heat to medium-low and let the liquid come to a simmer. Then, put the lid on and simmer for about 30 to 40 minutes until the liquid has been absorbed and everything is completely cooked.

Remove from the oven when done and serve the porcupine meatballs right away.
